Death*22 November 1723 and died on 22 November 1723 in Bridgewater at age 40.3,4 
Research Notes*Some confusion exists in determining the correct events in the lives of Ruth Field and her niece Ruth Field. Aunt Ruth was reported, by the Field source, to have died on 22 November 1723, yet the parents attributed to the Ruth Field who died on that date, in the Bridgewater vital records, were Richard and Susanna Field, the parents of niece Ruth. The Field source also reported that niece Ruth was still alive and under the age of 21 on 25 March 1731 when her mother was appointed her guardian. A review of her guardianship record confirms it was the aunt Ruth Field who died in 1723.3,4,1,5

Land Records23 February 1739Zebulon Field, a Taunton husbandman, and his wife Anne Field made a 20-year lease agreement with William Leonard of Norton, cordwainer, on 23 February 1739 for a certain parcel of land meadow and upland lying on the easterly side of the Mill River in Taunton. More specifically, it was located southerly and east from the land of Ephraim Wetherell, south from Edward Adams's land, west from Abiel Williams's land and northly from Zebulon and Anne Field's fence, where it then stood, on the way to Joseph White's house. The lease agreement stated that William Leonard, or any of the others mentioned, shall not make use of, or remove, or cause it to be sold, in any way whatsoever, any hay straws, dung, stones or timber growing or lying on the land. The agreement also instructed William to let no timber or wood lie or rot useless on the land and gave William the free liberty to break and subdue the land with free liberty to use any timber and stone as necessary for building a house, barn and fence upon the land. The indenture of lease was to be in effect for 20 years, and become void on 23 February 1759. The agreement was witnessed by John Gibson and Abraham White and recorded in Bristol County on 14 January 1746/47.6 
Land Records*13 July 1739Zebulon Field, yeoman, and his wife Anne Field of Taunton sold land in Taunton, Bristol County, on 13 July 1739 to William Leonard, a cordwainer, for the sum of £10. The deed was recorded 7 August 1739 and described the property as one certain tract of land in Taunton situated on the east side of the trodden road from the dwelling house of John Gibson, toward Jeremiah Wetherell's, and on the southerly side of the way called Williams Way, laid out from Zebulon and Anne Field's dwelling house toward Norton and bounded to begin at a corner stake standing 3 rods from Ebenezer Lincoln's northerly line and 4 rods from the said trodden highway and to run easterly from the beginning stake 20 rods to another corner stake, then northerly 8 rods to a stake for a corner, then westerly 20 rods to another corner stake, then southerly 8 rods to the corner first mentioned.7

The deed instructed that neither James Leonard nor any of the neighbors mentioned were to make use of any timber growing or lying on the land by cutting or carting it off the land in any shape or form whatsoever nor cause it to be done and included similar instructions regarding dung and stones. The deed further instructed that no timber or wood was to be cast upon the land to die or rest useless.

The Field source stated she died on 26 November 1722, however also stated her mother Susanna was appointed her guardian on 13 April 1730 because she was under 14 years of age. No record of her death was found by this researcher in the Bridgewater records.2,1 
Death*22 November 1722According to the Field source, she died on 22 November 1722 at age 3. Her sister, the first Susanna, died on that date and her death was recorded in Bridgewater. It's possible, of course, that the sisters died on the same day, however no record of Zobiah's death has been found.1

The gravestones were in the Old Rossorry Graveyard in Enniskillen and his graveyard project was unfinished at the time of his writing. Most of the newspaper notices were found in the Enniskillen Chronicle and Erne Packet, although some were also from the Enniskillen Impartial Reporter. Those he included were described simply as "relevant" to the families or individuals mentioned on the gravestones. The microfilm he used was (MIC 1/22) Church of Ireland burial register found at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, Old Rossorry Graveyard, Enniskillen (County Fermanagh, Ireland), online at http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/fermanagh/cemeteries/…, downloaded on downloaded 4 Sep 2010.
