Subject: What Cemetery is Clement Phinney in?
Saw your post...hoping your information tells the cemetery where Clement Phinney, bn 16, Aug. 1780, Gorham, ME;died: 2 March 1855, Portland, Cumberland, ME. is buried.
I have information from old Cyclopedia of Free Baptist, pub. 1889, that he was a minister; other records say he married Joanna Walace, 24 Mar. 1803, Gorham.His ministerial work centered in Gorham and surrounding areas.
I believe he is the grandson of Col Edmund Phinney, Rev. War, d. Dec. 15, 1815, age 85, and is in "Old Burrying Yard" Gorham, ME, according to "Sprague's Journal of Maine History."Any help will be appreciated.
