Biography
Joseph Field was born in 1731, in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. At the time of the American, his family was living in North Carolina. Joseph Field and his older brothers William, Jeremiah and Robert Field, were involved with the Regulators, who protested the corrupt policies of the administration of North Carolina's British governor Lord William Tryon. William and Jeremiah were leaders of the movement.
Joseph Field was killed at the Battle of King's Mountain, which took place on October 7, 1780, in Cherokee county, South Carolina, nine miles (14 km) south of the present-day town of Kings Mountain, North Carolina. The battle was between the Patriots and the Loyalists and has been described as "the war's largest all-American fight." The surprising victory of the American Patriot militia over the Loyalists came after a string of Patriot defeats at the hands of Lord Cornwallis, and greatly raised the Patriots' morale. [1]
Joseph married Lydia Julian, born 1746, in Winchester, Frederick county, Virginia, a daughter of Peter Julien/Julian. Joseph and Lydia were the parents of as many as ten children, five of which are known to have lived to adulthood. After Joseph's death, Lydia married William Armfield, Sr. (1720-1812) a son of John Armfield (1695-1792). Lydia and William named one of their two sons Joseph, presumably in honor of Joseph Field.
Joseph is buried in the Kings Mountain Battleground Cemetery, in Blacksburg, Cherokee county, South Carolina. [2]
