Richard S. Field was born in Burlington County, New Jersey on December 31, 1803. He attended the College of New Jersey, now Princeton University, where he graduated in 1821. He studied law in the office of Richard Stockton and was admitted to the New Jersey Bar in 1825. He became a lawyer, practiced for a short time in Salem, and in 1832 settled in Princeton.
Field served in the Assembly in 1837 and, in 1838, he was appointed state Attorney General, serving for three years.
