This Jonathan Sackett Finney, one of three living simultaneously in the area where Clark, Jasper, and Cumberland Counties meet, was the son of Damon and Elizabeth (Kelly) Finney.
He married Susan Metheny, a daughter of James and Rhoda (Bell) Metheny in 1852.
He and his wife both died between the censuses of 1870 and 1880. They were both buried in unmarked graves, probably in Leamon Cemetery, since multiple family members are buried there and it is the cemetery closest to their last known residence.
Some of their descendants had a stone placed in their memory where we believe Jonathan Sackett Finney is buried, between his brother Ira and his father. If Susan is, in fact, buried in Leamon Cemetery, she is most likely a few feet south of J.S., with at least one burial in between.
Genealogical note
In early 2021, a secondary source was located that gives dates of birth and death for J.S. and Susan Finney. It seems to be derived from a Bible record started by their daughter Mary and continued after her death by her widower's third wife. The dates in this record are consistent with their census returns and have been used on the stone.

Gravesite Details
The previously unmarked space between his father and brother Ira was deemed the most logical place for burial, due to geography and the likely time of burial.
