  • Notes 


    • "Robert Field was born about 1636 in Rhode Island, and was probably the eldest son of (844) Robert Field, who came to Roger Williams' Colony in Rhode Island at about that time. The family moved to Flushing, Long Island in 1645. Land was deeded to Robert Field there in 1653 by his father. He was living in Newtown, Long Island by 1670, and was one of the patentees of the town in 1686. He was one of the two overseers of Newtown in 1672, '74, '75, '78 and '80, and Constable in 1685. He was a Quaker in religion. He died at Newtown April 13, 1701."
