Thomas Warren Field was born in Onondaga Hill near Syracuse, New York, was the son of a small tradesman.
After a brief education in the elementary schools he became a teacher; in the long career that followed he “was everything by starts, and nothing long. ”
He moved to New York City in 1844, where he became an engineer. After a time in business as a florist he moved to the village of Williamsburgh (now in Brooklyn), New York, and did surveying and school-teaching. On May 14, 1849, he was made the principal of Public School No. 18 on Mauger St. , Brooklyn.
Through fortunate investments in real estate he acquired wealth and considerable property, especially in Bushwick Avenue where he established a nursery which he called “Weirfield” in honor of his first wife, Charlotte E. Weir. His income enabled him to retire and devote himself to fruit culture.
He had previously published, in 1848, a thin volume of verse, The Minstrel Pilgrim, greatly influenced by Shelley and the romantics. In 1858 he published a manual on Pear Culture. Field became a member of the Board of Education in 1854 and served for twenty-one years.
From 1865 to 1873 he was an assessor and from 1873 until the time of his death he was superintendent of public instruction in Brooklyn. His avocation was scholarship: in 1865 he edited Alexander Garden’s Anecdotes of the American Revolution and in 1869 he edited for the Long Island Historical Society a collection of original documents on the battle of Long Island (published as Vol. II of the Society’s Memoirs), to which he contributed an introduction of more than three hundred pages.
Other volumes which he issued were Historic and Antiquarian Scenes in Brooklyn and its Vicinity (1868) ; an edition of the Relation of Alvar Nunes Cabeqa de Vaca; and The Schoolmistress in History, Poetry and Romance (1874). For many years Field had been collecting books dealing with American Indians.
In 1873 he published a catalogue of his library: An Essay Towards an Indian Bibliography, which listed 1, 708 items and contained critical notes distinguished alike for their delightful spirit and for their erudition. In 1875, because of a decline in real-estate values and because of legal expenses incurred in a scandal that time has effectively obscured, he was forced to sell his library.
With the Essay as a basis a Catalogue was compiled, listing 2, 663 items and containing the original notes by Field and many additions by his friend, Joseph Sabin. The sale by auction brought more than $13, 500.

Field became a member of the Board of Education in 1854.
After the death of his first wife, Field married Helen Tuttle, who was killed in an accident on the Hudson River Railroad on the day of her wedding. His third wife, Emiline Van Siclen, he divorced in 1874 after she had become involved with Thomas Kinsella, the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Alice E. Martin, whom he married in 1876, survived him.
