Good Afternoon fellow Cemetery enthusiasts!
Today's Walk through the Tombstones is at the lovely and historic Greenlawn Cemetery in Franklin, Indiana.
GPS Coordinates: 39.4768982, -86.0597000
This cemetery is located just off of W. South Street in Franklin and filled with so many lovely graves. There are several examples of Victorian funerary art and two above ground sarcophagi. Greenlawn Cemetery, also known as Franklin Cemetery, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013 not only for the lovely graves, but also for the small chapel built in 1878 near the back of the old sections of the cemetery: Pine, Voris and Zeppie. The chapel now houses the offices of the cemetery. Next to the chapel, under and awning, is a replica of a canon from 1861 that was made by the Stedman Company. The actual cannon is at the Indiana State Museum.
This cemetery has just over 18,000 interments on over 30 acres of beautiful green, well-kept land. Several drives allow access to the cemetery and the two mausoleums. It is gated and likely closes at sunset.

Nancy Maria Allen Finch (1818-1908) - buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Franklin, Johnson County, Indiana
His occupation is listed as Farmer and Tavernkeeper. I am not sure where that was located, Ohio, Kentucky or Indiana. I have found that in 1805 he and his family emigrated to the US, specifically to Kentucky, to claim an estate that was left to them by an Uncle Nathaniel Allen. A year later they ended up in Ohio and then on to Franklin, Indiana in 1837.

I haven't found any reference to any children.
I have some concerns about her marriage to Thomas Brice. The location and the time frame are correct. I haven't found a date for when she married Samuel Herriott as of yet. The thing that concerns me is that I have only found one reference where she is listed as being married to Thomas Brice and where they had two children, Alice and James. But when I dive further into the children, they are linked back to a woman named Phebe Goble. I am confused. If anyone has any clarification, please let me know.

He was the son of a Presbyterian Minister, Reverend William Wick, Sr. (1768-1814) and Elizabeth McFarland Wick (1791-?). I am unsure as to where either of them were buried. A note in William's entry on Wikipedia states that his father was the first minister of the Western Reserve.
William Sr was the son of Lieutenant Lemuel Wick (1743-1813), a lineal descendant of a Pilgrim by the name of John Wickes (1609-1675), and Deborah Lupton Wick (1751-1809). Lemuel and Deborah are both buried in Southampton Cemetery, Southampton, Suffolk County, New York. John Wickes had a rather sudden and violent end to his lift. He had ventured out to search for his cows when he encountered the Pequot and Mohegan Indians who beheaded him and placed his head on a pole near his home. His head was buried in the Stone Castle Cemetery in Wariwck, Kent County, Rhode Island. His torso was found the next day and buried with his body.
Deborah was the daughter of Colonel Daniel McFarland (1762-1844). He was an officer in the Continental Army and is buried in McFarland Cemetery, Bainbridge, Geauga County, Ohio.

Henry Wick (?-?) -
He was married to Isabella Barber Wick (1825-1875). They were married in 1839 and she is buried in Oakland Cemetery, Saint Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota

William Watson Wick served several roles in the state government. He was clerk of the House of Representatives in 1820 as well as for the Indiana State Senate in 1821; appointed Judge and served as President Judge of the 5th Judicial Circuit from 1822-1825, 1834-1837 and 1850-1853. He presided over the trial resulting from the Fall Creek Massacre. This case was important as it was the first where a white man was hanged from crimes against the Native Indians. He also served as Secretary of State for Indiana (1825-1829). In 1838, he was elected to Congress as a Democrat. When he was not reelected, he returned to his law practice.
