• The will of Jane, widow of John Field, is dated July 17, 1609, and she was buried at East Ardsley, Aug. 3, 1609. They had nine children — Richard, born in 1562; Matthew, born in 1563; Christopher, born in 1565; John, born in 1568; William, born in 1570; Thomas, born in 1572; James, born in 1574; Martin, born in 1577; Ann, born in 1580. The oldest, Richard, was disinherited by his father. Matthew, lord of the manor of Thumscoe, named in his mother's will, died June 2, 1631. Letters ot administration granted to his son, Matthew, Aug. 4, 1631. Christopher not named in his mother's will. John not named in his mother's will. William of Thumscoe, executor of his mother's will. Thomas named in his mother's will, in which she calls him her third son. James, Martin, or Ann are not named in their mother's will. By their not being named, Mr. Osgood Field thinks they were not living, which is a matter of doubt, as they may have espoused the Puritan cause and left England.

• We assume that it was about 1560 that he married Jane, daughter of John Amyas, ot Kent, as she is described in the Herald's visitation of Yorkshire in 1584-85. Mr. Hunter in an article referred to elsewhere, says that he had searched in vain for genealogical information in Kent without discovering anything of this lady, or her family. This failure is easily explained by the fact that the Amyas was not a Kentish, but a Yorkshire name. The family had been seated in the immediate neighborhood of Ardsley from a early date. In all probability John Amyas removed from there to Kent, and possibly his wife's family belonged to that county. As tar back as the first of Edward 1. the tolls ot Wakefield manor were let to John de Amyas for L100 a year. His daughter, Matilda, married John Waterton, of Walton, whose family has been for centuries one of the most distinguished of that neighborhood. The Amyas's were seated for generations at Sandal, Harbury and Thornhill, all of which are within half a dozen miles of East Ardsley, where John Field resided. There is no question but he chose a wife among his neighbors and friends. .... etc.
• John Field, of East Ardsley. co-executor of his father's will, had the family arms confirmed, and a crest granted to him Sept. 4. 1558. The Herald's visitation ot Yorkshire. 1585, records the names of himself, wife and children. His will, dated Dec. 28, 1586, was proved May 3, 1587- Jane, daughter ot John Amyas, of Kent, executrix ot her husband's will. Her own is dated July 17. 1609. Buried at East Ardsley, Aug. 3. 1609.
• Although John Field was one of the most distinguished pioneers in the cause of science of whom England can boast, his memory has been almost entirely and unjustly neglected by his countrymen, and even in astronomical circles his is hardly, or not at all known. For further information in relation to him the reader is referred to Gentleman's Magazine, May, 1834. to an article by Rev. Joseph Hunter, and November, 1862, to an article by,Osgood Field. ...... etc.

• John Field or Feild (1520/30–1587), was a 'proto-Copernican' English astronomer. Feild was the son of Richard Field (d. 1542). He was born, it is supposed, at Ardsley in the West Riding of Yorkshire between 1520 and 1530. He received a liberal education, and Mr. Joseph Hunter, his descendant, conjectures that part of it was gained under the patronage of Alured Comyn, Prior of St. Oswald's, from which house the cell of Woodkirk, near Ardsley, depended. Anthony à Wood believes that he studied at Oxford.
• He published:
  • ‘Ephemeris anni 1557 currentis juxta Copernici et Reinholdi canones … per J. Feild … ad Meridianum Londinensem … supputata. Adjecta est Epistola J. Dee, qua vulgares istos Ephemeridum fictores reprehendit,’ London, 1556, 4to.
  • ‘Ephemerides trium annorum, an. 1558, 59 et 60 … ex Erasmi Reinoldi tabulis accuratissimè ad Meridianum Civitatis Londinensis supputatæ,’ London, 1558, 4to.
• 'To the latter work the following are added:
  • ‘Canon Ascensionum Obliquarum cujusvis stellæ non excedentis 8 gradus Latitudinis confectus,’ and
  • ‘Tabula Stellarum Fixarum insigniorum,’ &c.
• These works were the first in England in which the principles of the Copernican philosophy were recognised and asserted.
• He lived in London at the date of his first ‘Ephemeris,’ and appears, from a remark in a manuscript in the Lambeth Library, to have been a public instructor in science. On 4 September 1558 he received a confirmation of arms and the grant of a crest allusive to his attainments in astronomical science, viz. the device of a red arm issuing from the clouds and presenting a golden orrery.
• He married, about 1560, Jane (d. 1609), daughter of John Amyas, a Kentish gentleman, and some time between that date and 1577, settled down at Ardsley, where he continued till his death, his position being that of a gentleman held in esteem among the better class of his neighbours. In the Yorkshire visitation of 1585 he recorded his arms and crest and the names of his wife and nine children. In his will, dated 28 Dec. 1586, he describes himself as a ‘fermer sometyme student in the mathymathicke sciences.’ He died soon after the date of this will, the administration of his estate being granted to his widow on 3 May 1587. His library passed into the hands of William Coley of York, who afterwards returned it to the family.

The Field family has usually taken the liberal side of religious and political questions, and in 1629 Zachariah Field left England on account of the persecution of the dissenters, and landed in Boston, settling at Dorchester. In 1636 he was one of the Rev. Thomas Hooker's congregation, which settled at Hartford, Connecticut. With the more liberal members of that church he removed to Northampton, Massachusetts, in 1659. He was engaged in mercantile business, and had a large trade with the Indians. He was one of the original twenty-five proprietors of Hatfield, same colony, and was a member of the committee which laid out the lands. He received a grant of land there in 1661, and resided there until his death, June 30, 1666. He was married about 1641, and his wife Mary died about 1670. Their children were: Mary, Zachariah, John, Samuel and Joseph. _________________________________
