Private David Field married Anna Stone in 1755, and they had eight children. They were Mabel (b. 1757), Benjamin (b. 1759), twins David and Anna (b. 1761), twins Ichabod and Elizabeth (b. 1763) Jedediah (b. 1765), and Mindwell (b. 1769).
His sister, Abigail, married Neri Crampton and they moved to Vermont. Private Crampton also fought in the Revolution, serving in Capt. John Spafford's Company, Col. Allen's Regiment; and, in Capt. Train's Company, Col. Lee's Regiment.
Patriot Field served in Captain Daniel Hand's Company, in Col. Matthew Tallcot's Regiment. His name appears on the Company Pay Roll in New Haven County, CT in 1776. He also enlisted in March, 1776 on "the New York expedition." Private Field died at his sister's and brother-in-law's (Neri and Abigail Crampton) home in Tinmouth, Vermont, on his return from the army at Fort Ticonderoga, November 25, 1778.
His daughter, Mabel, married Patriot David Seward, who is cited in another of these biographies. Both Patriots Field and Seward enlisted for service on "the New York expedition."
Patriot Field's two brothers also served in the Revolution. Ebenezer (1736-1781) was credited with Civil Service, having served as a Juror in 1776. Timothy (1744-1818) attained the rank of Captain, having first served as a Sergeant in the Lexington Alarm, and Lieutenant in Capt. Peter Vail's Company, Col. William Worthington's Regiment.

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
