NARRAMORE & SELF FAMILY
FIELDNG MEYERS NARRAMOR3 (JOHN2, EDWARD1) b. 8 Jul 1811, Bledsoe Co., TN m. Sept 1832, MARTHA TAYLOR b. 30 Sept 1811, Monroe Co., TN, d. 11 Aug 1888, Buried Cumberland Co., Crossville, TN. Fielding died 6 May 1886, Crossville, TN. Buried Cumberland Co., Crossville, TN. Fielding was a leading influential citizen of Cumberland County, TN, from the time it was organized in 1856 until his death in 1886. He was chairman of the County Court many times and was Justice of the Peace. He held this position at the time of his death. I read where people would go to him for legal advice, altho, he was not a lawyer. In fact, he didn't have much formal education. I have also read where he was a good public speaker and was respected by most people. He was referred to as Esq. Fielding Meyers Narramore. (Whatever than means) One writer said that Esq. Fielding was a noted character in all parts of the county. Esq. Narramore used to say that he was a very temperate man even to drinking coffee. "Two good strong cups of coffee three times a day was enough for anyone." _Now for the smutt--Back in the mid 1830's Fielding was charged with perjury. His father, John Narramore, and some other people went on his bond, which was substantial, to keep him out of jail. I noticed an entry in the Bledsoe County Court reports where he spent 10 days in jail at the cost of 37 1/2 cents a day. This perjury case was continued from one court session to another for several sessions. Finally when the jury couldn't reach a verdict, the case was dismissed. I don't know what Fielding supposedly lied about--maybe about how much coffee he drank a day. I'm glad the young man got his act together. He married Martha Taylor. She was called "Patsy" by Fielding and "Aunt Patsy" by her friends. They moved into a new house about 4 miles east of Crossville where they lived until their death. I don't know anything about his physical appearance except that a picture of him shows him to be a large person
