     Fielding married first Elizabeth J. Vaughan, daughter of George Vaughan and Nicey, on 20 Mar 1878 in Halifax Co., VirginiaG.8,9
     Fielding and Elizabeth appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Halifax Co., Virginia G, enumerated 24 Jun 1880. Their daughter Mattie was listed as living with them.19

Research Note:
It appears that Fielding's first wife died before 1900, as he is reported as a widower in the 1900 census. However in the record for his second marriage he is shown as divorced, and it is not uncommon for divorced persons to have been listed as widowed in census records. Still, no record of her has been found after the 1882 birth of her son so she may in fact have died.29,30
