Hi Peter,

Thanks so much for the directions- I don't think I'll have a problem finding
it now. The Finch cemetery may be another story. According to someone who
gave me information on the cemetery, Finch cemetery is on the old H.C.
Spencer farm on rt. 247, just south of Finch Hill. They said that the
cemetery is all overgrown and enclosed by a stone wall, hard to find. I am
looking for the Horn family- came to Carbondale Township in the early
1800's, their land is now on the border of Greenfield and Fell townships. I
know they are buried there, from transcriptions, just want to see it for
myself.
