Windsor County 1883-84 Page 414 Elihu N. Finney Norwich Farmer 140 acres Wool Grower 40 sheep Elihu Finney bought a farm ca. 185something (from ?? ??), and sold it ca. 1888 (to ?? ??). Who did he buy it from, and who did he sell it to? Through the years, I have always been told that there is (1) nothing up there, (2) just cellar holes, (3) all grown up with brush, (4) a private cemetery. When did the buildings come down, who owns the 140 acres today, and is there a picture of the farm when it was standing? It has always been explained that to get up from the Strafford side or the Norwich side, (1) you need a four-wheel drive, (2) a hay wagon, (3) why go up only to find nothing? What does it look like up there? Has anyone at all ever made the bumpy ride at all? How about walking? How many miles would it take to walk up one side and down the other? Or, maybe it's true, that there is nothing up there, and nobody has been up there in years. Any clue at all to the above questions will be thoroughly researched by inquiring descendants nd historians who want to know. Charlie Anderson Descendant of Elihu Finney, 140 acres, ??????????????? Augustus Finney, 120 acres, can still be seen today! Homer Finney, 160 acres, can still be seen today! Annie Finney Anderson, 60 acres, can still be seen today! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
