Cleopatra Henley was the eldest daughter, and second of numerous children born to Nathan Henley (1800-?) and his wife Ruth Dicks (1801-1864) of Randolph County, NC. Her paternal grandparents were Stephen Henley and his wife Anna Pearson; and, her maternal grandparents were Peter Dicks and his wife Ann Hodson, all of Randolph Co.

Cleopatra was a Quakeress, but left her faith in order to marry William Field (c.1820-1852) on 18 Nov. 1845. He was a devout Methodist, and the youngest of eleven children born to Jeremiah Field (c.1764-1830) and his wife Eleanor Sherwood (1776-1859) of Randolph County.

William was a school teacher, and he and Cleopatra lived on the family's old plantation in Randolph County with his mother. A tree fell on him, and he was paralyzed, and later is bedclothes caught fire and he was burned so badly that he died at the age of 32. It was terribly sad and tragic.

Cleopatra and William had four sons, one born after his death. They were Julius Eugene Field (c. 1847-after 1880, was in Chesterfield, SC in 1880), Stephen Augustus Field (c. 1848/9-after 1882, was in Meadeville, Linn Co., Missouri in 1878-1882, not sure after that), Rev. Melville Chafin Field (1851-1919, a Methodist Minister of Randolph Co., NC) and William A. Field (1852-after 1930, went to California).

About six years after William's death, Cleopatra married Green B. Lamb (c.1815-1859) on 2 March 1858. They had one son, Charles G. Lamb, born in 1859. Mr. Lamb died of pleurisy in July of 1859. On 2 Oct. 1864, Cleopatra married George W. Baldwin, and they had a son Daniel Leonidas Baldwin (1866-1934).

In 1880, Cleopatra and her sons Stephen A. Field and Daniel L. Baldwin were living at Parsons Creek, Linn County, Missouri. Stephen had come to study law in Missouri in 1869, and became the city attorney of Meadeville, Linn Co., Mo. in 1878. He'd been a deputy sheriff of Livingston Co., Mo. in 1873-5, and his mother and half brother Daniel probably lived there with him, too.

In 1900, Cleopatra was living in Polo, Caldwell County, Missouri, with her son Daniel L. Baldwin, and his wife Estella Pearl Willis. Cleopatra died there in 1907.
