>From Connecticut Town Birth Records, pre-1870 (Barbour Collection) Samuel
Fielding b. 18 June 1794 in Hebron, CT to Samuel Fielding and Elizabeth. I
found in CT marriages that a Samuel Fielding married a Lydia Bowles 25
January 1820. Another record says that his parents were Samuel Fielding and
Elizabeth Alvord. If he died in Feb of 1880 in Georgia there is not a death
certificate to confirm the names of his parents. Georgia Death certificates
did not begin until 1919 and then was not complete. There may be a notice
in the Athens newspaper about his death. It appears that his first wife may
have died but in 1850 there are no children b. before 1828 so they must not have had any or they married before 1850. I found a Samuel Fielding and wife (no children) of about the
right age in the 1820 census of CT. Samuel Falding (Ancestry spelling)is in Clarke in 1830. There are 3 children.

Clarke County Georgia Marriage Records 1803-1909 has Samuel Fielding to Elizabeth Nott (Nutt?)(or Mott)(or Knott) May 22, 1828 Book B, p. 130. I did not find any Fielding names in the Clarke Co., cemetery book but it does not include Oconee Hill Cemetery.

Oconee Cemetery Book has Charlotte "Lottie" Fielding b.October 1845 d. 31 January 1943, Martha "Mattie" Graves and Susie Fielding Graves all buried in the Salem United Methodist Church Cemetery in Oconee Co., GA. Daughter Lydia married a Mooney. Possibly this is where Samuel and Elizabeth are buried. Hope this helps.
