Consistency Check:Dr. John Alexander Archer born before the birth of his father Peter Field Archer, Sr..Dr. John Alexander Archer born before the birth of his mother Elizabeth Archer (Walthall).

Trying to unweave the inconsistency between the Peterfield, Peter Field, Fielding, Field and John Field naming conventions.

However, on Find A Grave I do have them (1763-1829), (1801-1877), (1853-1915), (1878-1949), (1899-197) and all proven as descendants of (1763-1829) .... with the exception of Major Peter Field Archer

There are four (4) potential wives:

Frances Tanner Archer 22 Oct 1782 in Amelia County, Virginia, USA
Elizabeth Walthall Archer m. 23 Jan 1787 in Chesterfield County, Virginia
Martha Bolling Archer m. 10 Feb 1794 in Chesterfield County, Virginia
Judith Eggleston Cocke Archer m. 22 Jan 1799 in Amelia County, Virginia

This is a timeline with everything being attributed to Major Peter Field Archer, which I find a little hard to believe, considering the large plantation he ran and the geographic disbursement of all these wives and children.
