1. E-mail from Sara Green; 31 Mar 2012.
"...Lydia Carpenter Fields was John's 1st wife. My great grandmother was his 2nd. I find all kinds of information about his first wife, but nothing about his 2nd. I know her maiden name was Louthian, and I know her parents' names, but can't find her name. (She and John got together sometime after 1903 and before 1907 when my grandmother was born. She died in childbirth in 1909 as did the baby girl- John came in from the fields and found her and the baby dead on the kitchen floor with my grandmother in her arms). The reason I know there were 2 different wives is they both gave birth to a son in the same year. (Jessie Fields and Clint Louthian). The family story is my great grandmother gave birth to my grandmother's half brother illegitimately and her father raised him for a few years until he died, then he went to live with 2 old maids until he turned of age to leave home..."
