There are no written records of the earliest burials within the Finch-Sneed Cemetery. Robert Sneed is identified as being buried in the "Sneed Cemetery" on Six Forks Road by family historian Bill Sneed based on long standing oral tradition derived from Robert Sneed's granddaughter, Lucy (Sneed) Finch (1849-1941), a daughter of John Sneed and Sarah (Aycock) Sneed. She also identified her parents, John Sneed and Sarah (Aycock) Sneed, as being buried in the Finch-Sneed Cemetery.
Robert Sneed's grandson, Junius Sneed (1848-1921), son of John Sneed and Sarah (Aycock) Sneed, is buried in the Finch-Sneed Cemetery. His death certificate records his place of burial as the "family cemetery."
