My great grandmother Josephine Fielder was the eldest child of John A. Fielder and Martha (Patsy) Walker FieldeR.
John A. FIELDER was born in about 1833 somewhere in Tennessee. In about
1855, he married Martha WALKER. Martha was also born in Tennessee around
1838. John apparently farmed with is father until his death sometime after
1862. By 1870, John had disappeared from records and Martha and the two
children were living with Joseph and Martha Fielder. She apparently worked as
a seamstress. After the marriage of her daughter Josephine in 1876, Martha
moved in with her daughter and son-in-law where she lived until her death of
typhoid fever in about 1895.
 | Josephine Amanda Elgiva (my great-grandmother, born 20 Dec 1856, married 21 Sept 1876 to Joseph A. ANDERSON, died 23 July 1927; |
| John Thomas, born about 1862. |
Little is known of John Thomas. Family legend passed down by his sister Josephine to her grand-daughter Clara ANDERSON says that "he went to Missouri and was never heard from again." Records do show that on 3 Oct 1870, a John Thomas FIELDER was apprenticed to Orin A. JONES until his 21st birthday. That would have been about 1883. On 5 Dec 1883, John Thomas sold his 1/4 interest in the family lands to his sister and brother-in-law, Josephine and Josie ANDERSON. Then he disappears from Hickman County.
