Third of the six sons of General Edmund Fielding and his second wife, Anne Rapha, John was born on 16 September 1721 and baptized at St. James’s Church, Piccadilly. Suffering from weakness of vision, he was rendered completely blind in his nineteenth year through the incompetence of the eminent surgeon James Wilkie, a jury awarding damages of £500.
