William Field (1774–1837) was a Tasmanian pastoralist, meat contractor and publican.
 Born in Enfield, near London, he spent his early working life as a farmer and butcher.
 At the age of 26 he was convicted of receiving stolen sheep from his brother, Richard, and transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1806, travelling on the "Fortune" to Sydney and then the "Sophia" to Port Dalrymple, leaving behind a wife, Sarah, and a daughter, Ann.
 Richard had been sentenced to death in April 1800, and then pardoned to be transported for life, and was further pardoned 19 August 1802 on giving surety.
 By the time his 14-year sentence had been completed Field had already proven himself useful to the new colony as a farmer and merchant.
 He began living with Elizabeth Richards, who had been sentenced to death in 1806 for stealing cotton and lace, and whose sentence had been commuted to transportation for life, and they had five children, William (1816–??)
 (married Sarah Lucas, 1839), Thomas (1817–??)

 Helen was the first wife of Roger de Quincy, Earl of Winchester (died 1264).

 He was born and raised at St. Louis, Missouri.
 Pierre Luis Vasquez was the son of Benito Vasquez and Marie-Julie Papin (daughter of Pierre Papin & Catherine Guichard.
 Benito was born in Galicia, Spain in 1738 son of Francisco Vasquez and Marie de La Ponte.
 Many historians write that Pierre Luis was a Mexican-American but he was of French and Spanish (European) descent.
 In 1823, he became a fur man, receiving his first license to trade with the Pawnee.
 By the early 1830s he had shifted his operations to the mountains, a popular and active mountain man and trader.
 Pierre Luis was nicknamed "Old Vaskiss" by other Mountain men.
 Vasquez became a partner of Andrew Sublette, perhaps in 1834, returned to St. Louis in 1835, and went back to trade on the South Platte that winter and built Fort Vasquez that year after obtaining a trading license in St. Louis, Missouri, from William Clark, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs.
 He traveled back and forth between the mountains and St. Louis almost yearly, his reputation growing.
 Unable to turn a profit, they sold Fort Vasquez to Lock and Randolph in 1840 who subsequently went bankrupt and abandoned the structures in 1842.
 Due to the bankruptcy, Luis Vasquez and Andrew Sublette could not collect the sum owed to them for the sale.
 Vasquez then became associated with Jim Bridger.
 By 1843 they had built Fort Bridger on Blacks Fork of the Green River, which became as much an emigrant station as trading post.
 At St. Louis in 1846 Vasquez married a widow, Mrs. Narcissa Land Ashcraft and took his new family, her son and daughter, to Fort Bridger in Wyoming.
 Vasquez opened a store at Salt Lake City in 1855.

 He died on 26 November 1313 leaving an only daughter and heiress, Margaret, who inherited the title and estates and was later nicknamed the "Flower of Gillesland".
 She married Ranulph (Ralph) de Dacre, whom she married because she found him chivalrous.

 The title and estates after Margaret's death in 1361 were inherited by the Dacre family.
