Wake County, NC - Finch Cemetery 3 Mar 2006, Revised and updated 3 Aug 2007 Finch Cemetery 0 Duraleigh Rd. Raleigh, Meredith Twp. Wake Co., NC N 35° 49' 51.5" W 78°42' 37.2" The cemetery is located on Duraleigh Rd. (SR 1664) at the intersection of Burwell Rollins Circle, the entrance to "Olde Raleigh" Subdivision, about 1/2 mile north of the intersection of Duraleigh Rd. and Edward's Mill Rd. (SR 3009). It is barely visible from the road, with a fine brick wall shielding it from view. You can park in the small courtyard in front of the guard house. It contains .09 acre and is no longer in use. Ann Brosnahan, BROZYMOM@aol.com, a direct descendant of the interred, has gained ownership of the cemetery and is restoring it. Permission to enter the cemetery is required. A large fallen tree has been removed and headstones cleaned making it possible to add names, dates, and correct any prior errors. I walked through the cemetery and recorded from the headstones.
