"Copeland-Finn-Drummond House", is a reference to the "Lattimer-Hickman Burial Grounds", adjacent to the Lattimer-Wilson House, owned by Taylor S. Holtzclaw.
References is then made to the Drummond Burial Grounds, a small walled section of three graves, an unknown Confederate soldier and a Poquoson couple.
Thomas Drummond was the third owner of nearby Copeland-Finn-Drummond House, the oldest house in Fox Hill (now City of Hampton), reputedly the base of Blackbeard the Pirate. The house was built sometime between 1720 and 1750 and can be seen from Mears Plantation, "Brittain".
A grant of 180 acres in 1632 to Thomas Bonwell/Bonnell, stayed in Bonnweell hands until 1803, when give by Makel and Elizabeth to daughter Catherine, who married Caleb Mears.
The brock wall is still standing standing, the iron gate is lying on the ground. There is an evidence of graves inside the wall. There is a confederate marker to the east and three Messick graves to the north west.
