My mother was a Fielder.Her father and his father raised their families in the Springfield, Missouri area.I have no information on Jessie Fielder, but would like to know why he went to the Springfield area.Have information from gazeteers and maps that says Springfiled was only about 650 people at the time the war broke out. So it could be that he went to visit kinfolk. You may be dealing with a "galvanized yankee", these guys took the oath of allegiance to the US and in return they did not have to serve against Southern forces.A lot of them enlisted in US Units that were sent west to help control the Indians. Do you have any idea where he or his family came from before Illinois.
