Of Stockbridge, Mass We are growing fewer year by year. The dear old father and mother, around whom we once gathered, have long since been laid to rest; brothers and sisters have fallen by our side; till out of a large family, only four sons remain. Warned by recent losses, and fearing others to come, the writer would gather up some brief memorials of his kindred, that may be of interest to those that shall come after. Such a memorial he compiled twenty years ago (in 1860), chiefly from materials collected by his father, who was fond of such researches. Since then death has wrought so many changes that it needs to be entirely revised, to bring it down to the present date. The design of this little monograph is a very modest one. It is not to furnish a Genealogical History of the Field Family in the United States, which is very large, with many honorable branches, but only of one particular household. It is for the most part simply a record of names, dates, births, and deaths, such as are commonly found in the old Family Bible. Of course matters which are so purely personal, are only for the eye of those concerned, and would not even be printed except as a matter of convenience, that each descendant may be able to read the names, and perchance a word or two of the virtues, of those whose blood flows in his veins. If the writer, when he comes to speak of his father and mother, and brothers and sisters, enters more into detail, it must be ascribed to his fuller knowledge, and the warmth of his affection. This much can be pardoned to the love which clings to the living, and lingers fondly on the memory of the dead. He therefore puts together these few things, that when he and all his are gone, they may not be quite forgotten.
