Field's Plains. This name is generally given to the level sandy tract between Dover and Durham, in the upper part of the Back River District. It includes the Dry Pines and Pitch-pine plains of early times, and Clarke's plains of a later day. They are so named from Zacharias Field, who acquired land on these plains more than 200 years ago, and here built his garrison.^[4]
