Greenwich Presbyterian Church

The church building which stands here today was built in 1834. [11] It replaced an earlier church building which stood on the side of the street where the cemetery is. All but one of the Greenwich Tea Burners were Presbyterian and would have attended services at that earlier church building. Philip Vickers Fithian preached some sermons at the church after he became a minister. [12]

Several of the Greenwich Tea Burners are buried in the cemetery: Thomas Ewing, Joel Fithian, James B. Hunt and Joel Miller. Philip Vickers Fithian is commemorated on one side of a Fithian family monument in the cemetery, but he is not buried here. He is probably buried in New York City, near where he died at Fort Washington, but the gravesite is unknown.

The cemetery also contains the graves of other Revolutionary War veterans, including John Bereman, Thomas Brown, Abijah Holmes, James Johnson, John Miller, Azariah More, and Enos Woodruff.
