Add PhotosThis small burial place, containing about an eight of an acre, sits in a grove on Thunder Hill, remote from any road, abut a mile southwest from the village of New London. It belonged to the Finney family and their connections. Robert Finney, a ruling Elder of the New London Presbyterian Church in 1729, probably established it on what was his large tract of land. An acre was left by will in connection with it, but in the late 19th century most of it was sold to raise funds for putting a stone wall with an iron gate around the smaller lot. There are several ancient tombstones on this ground among them one of Judge Finney and of the first wife and child of his son, the Reverend William Finney, of Churchville, Maryland.
