There are many unmarked graves and graves marked with fieldstones. Among the marked graves are Mahala Finch Brown, daughter of William and Polly Dunn Finch, and her family. The other known graves belong to descendants of Etheldred and Elizabeth Finch Drake, also daughter of William and Polly Dunn Finch. As was the custom in the 19th Century this cemetery was designated with a black walnut tree and a huge cedar tree, both of which were severely damaged in the blizzard of 1993. Many of the tombstones already have relationships on them. I have included the other relationships, that I know, in ( ).
