My 5th great grandparents would be James and Margaret Fielden.  Both were born around 1780 in North Carolina.  The parents of both of them are yet unknown, however, there were stories that Margaret was a niece of Benjamin Franklin.  It’s speculated that they were married sometime around 1800 in North Carolina since their first child was born in 1803.  They lived in North Carolina until sometime between 1810 and 1817, based on census information from their off-spring.  They relocated to Grainger County, TN where they had more children.  Margaret passed away in either 1830 or 1831 and James remarried fairly quickly to Jemima Harker Neal in Jefferson County.  They had three children before James died in 1841.  She went on to remarry before the next census in 1850.

James and Margaret had a total of ten children:

• Sally
• William (my 4th great grandfather)
• Jane
• Elizabeth
• Unknown Boy
• Allen
• Wiley
• James H
• Gilson Haywood D
• Mahala

James H was a reverend there in Eastern Tennessee.  Gilson became a doctor.  He was never married and lived in East Texas.  He fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War.
