497. SAMUEL⁷ FIFIELD (1767) (Peter⁶, Abraham⁵, John⁴, Joseph³, Benjamin², William¹) was born on 24 Sep 1816 in Andover, Hillsborough, N.H (Eastman, Andover history, Page 155.) (Bradsbury, Bureau County, Page 521.). He married Lurana G. Stevens (1768), daughter of Thomas J. Stevens (9436) and Eliza Smith (9437), on 2 Aug 1843 in Bureau, Illinois (Ibid.) (ILVR, online http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/cgi-bin/archives/marriage.s.). He died on 23 Mar 1869 in Buda, Bureau, Illinois, at age 52 (Eastman, Andover history, Pae 155.) (Peter Fifield Wells, P. O. Box [x], Rindge, Cheshire, N.H. 03461-[xxxx], [phone #], Handwritten transcription provided by Carol Scripp 4 June 1993.). He was buried in Fifield Cemetery, Concord, Bureau, Illinois (Ibid.).
He appeared on the census of 1850 in Concord, Bureau, Illinois (Bradsbury, Bureau County, Page 521.); The History of Bureau County lists the children of Samuel as Thomas J., Lucien, John, Lucy J., George, Mary E., Chester and Frank. It also names the husbands of Lucy and Mary.
Children of Samuel⁷ Fifield (1767) and Lurana G. Stevens (1768) [include]:

•       v.   MARIA E. (9434) was born on 18 Feb 1853 (Peter Fifield Wells [. . .] Handwritten transcription provided by Carol Scripp 4 June 1993.); I am assuming that Maria was the daughter of Samuel and Lurana based on the gap in their children that would otherwise exist. She died 2 or 7 Sep 1854 (Ibid.).
