ROWNUM for different values of a Field

Hi,

I have a table say Table1
with Field1, Field2, FieldDate
Field1, Field2 is the Primary Key

SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM Table1 ORDER BY FieldDate) WHERE Field1 = 1 AND ROWNUM < 2;

Gives one Record for Field1 = 1
Similarly for Field1 = 2 and Field1 = 3

SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM Table1 ORDER BY FieldDate) WHERE Field1 = 2 AND ROWNUM < 2;
SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM Table1 ORDER BY FieldDate) WHERE Field1 = 3 AND ROWNUM < 2;

Instead of writing multiple SELECT stmts or using a For Loop How can I accomplish this in a single SELECT stmt so that I get 1 record for each value of Field1

Thanks in advance
