research done by the Fielden family. His father has never been discovered. His mother married 2nd to James Fielden August 1st 1831 in Jefferson County, Tennessee. Three other children were born to this union. John W.Fielden, Mary Fielden & Benjamin Ai Fielden. After James Fielden died Jemima married 3rd to John Hodges in Jefferson County, Tennessee July 30, 1846. Jemima used her maiden name Harker as her first name sometimes.
We know the Fielden’s also moved to Texas County, Missouri from Tennessee when James & Vania moved to Missouri 1859. Sylvania (Vania) Turner Neal’s sister Sarah Turner was married to Dempsey Fielden who was a relative of James Fielden. From older ancestors the Neal & Fielden’s were a very close nit family.
The earliest record I have of James Milton is a church record from Mill Springs Baptist Church in Jefferson County, Tennessee. His mother was listed also as Harker Fielden.
