History of Westchester county : New York, including Morrisania, Kings Bridge, and West Farms, which have been annexed to New York City / . own, and the late IsaacRequa are grandsons. Among the names dis-tinguished for benevo-lence and public spirit,and worthy to be held inreverence as benefactorsof their race, few are de-serving of loftier mentionthan Benjamin HazardField. The his-tory of the familyof which he is sodistinguished arepresentative can be traced far back to the Middle Ages. Theirancestor, Hubartus de la Feld, is said to have beenone of that warlike race who came to Englandwith William the Conqueror. He was the holderof lands in the county of Lancaster. During thereign of Henry I. his descendant, John de la Feld,appears as the owner of lands in the same coun-ty. In after years the prefix de la was discontin-ued, and, by the various changes so familiar to thegenealogist and historian, the name became fixed inits present form. In 1840 the family appear to havehad their seat at Horton in Bradford, which wasthe residence of William Feld, and letters of adminis-tration were granted to his widow, Katherine, in that.
