Jane Pope died in 1850 or 1852.  Her husband, Major Field, died about November 2, 1831.  They were probably buried near their home.  Alternatively, they could have been buried in the cemetery of her brother, William Pope Jr.  In 2014-15, all the remains contained in the Pope cemetery were removed to the Kate Pope lot in Cave Hill Cemetery by archaeologist Jay Stottman.* Reference: [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/152780682/jane-field Find A Grave Memorial] - [https://www.geni.com/projects/SmartCopy/18783 SmartCopy]: ''Jul 14 2019, 19:03:25 UTC''
