Snelling W. Campbell 1834 –

He had lived in Schuyler County, Missouri with his parental family until his first marriage to Mary Ann Cornelison in 1851. They lived near her family in Putnam County, Missouri. They had one son, John F. Bennett (1838-1920). Mary Ann died sometime after John's birth and Fielding returned to live with his widowed mother and his sisters during the Civil War period.
In the 1870 census, Pembrook and Fielding were living in Independence Township of Macon County, Missouri. In the home were Pembrook's son James 13 from her first marriage, Fielding's son John 17 for his first marriage, and their first child together who was 9 months old.
