Polly and I are, to each other, eighth half-cousins once removed. I
am descended from Katherine Banks by her first husband, Joseph
Royall, and Polly is descended from Katherine Banks by her second
husband, Henry Isham; and Polly's father was my eighth cousin. (The
part about our being married, but not to each other, is just the
punch line to an old Calvin & Hobbes joke.)

My wife and I both have the name Field in our ancestry, and both
from Virginia, but so far we haven't been able to connect them.
Good luck with your quest.
