		+	A brief history as told by Mr. George Steiner, a parishioner,
		+	and a member of DANK, a German-American group:
		+
		+	"Concord Presbyterian Cemetery is one of many located along Brownsville
		+	Road. At the time it was founded (probably in the 1840s, judging from some
		+	of the stones) only a few farms existed in the Carrick area. Most of the
		+	population lived in Birmingham (South Side). The families buried in the
		+	cemetery gave their names to many of the streets in the Carrick/Knoxville
		+	area, eg, Nobles Lane, Stewart Street."
		+
		+	"The cemetery was vandalized a number of years ago. (You can see the repairs
		+	that had to be made to erect the stones after they were knocked over.) It's
		+	possible some of the stones are not in their original locations. The rear
		+	section of the cemetery is filled in by broken gravestones. You can see
		+	partial names, dates, etc."

-Concord Presbyterian Church is located at 1907 Brownsville Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15210. The church was established June 19, 1832. The original church was moved to the rear of the property when the new church was built in 1885. The old church was used as the first Carrick grade school. The new church was used until the present church was built in 1915. The cemetery is located next to the church. The Veterans Survey of Cemeteries, a WPA project in 1935, listed the cemetery as having 200 graves and 15 veterans graves.

 This reading is a compilation of several done in 1992 by Mary Grace Denk, Betty Felix, and Nancy Long. It was reviewed by a return visit to the cemetery in 1999 by Jeanne Will and Nancy Long. Many of the stones are illegible and appear to have repaired and placed in rows, not necessarily in the order of the original burial. For this reason, this list has been placed in alphabetical order.
 Notes in parentheses are either comments or questionable dates.
 Entries marked ** are taken in whole or in part from Allegheny County Cemetery Records, Vol 1, compiled by Mrs. David A. Scott, Chairman, D.A.R., Jan 1965.

-The oldest of them in age and the first one of them connected with this church, was the Hon. John Morgridge Snowden.  Shortly after the first settlement of Virginia, a large family, by the name of Snowden came to that colony. The Snowdens of New York and Pennsylvania are descended from the Snowdens who came from Virginia about the year 1663. William Snowden who was the great ancestor of John M. Snowden, owned land in what is now Philadelphia in 1669, thirteen years before arrival of William Penn. His son, John Snowden, was born there in 1685, and was one of the founders of the First Presbyterian Church of that city.  Isaac Snowden son of John, was one of the founders of the Second Presbyterian Church of the same city.

-John Morgridge Snowden, better known as John M. Snowden, was born in Philadelphia, in 1776. His father (William Snowden) was a sea captain, and entered the service, of the Continental Congress at the beginning of the Revolutionary War, was captured by British, and died in one of the "prison ships."  His mother was a woman of wonderful energy, of a high order of intelligence, great force of character, and most ardently devoted the cause of American Independence. Not only did she assume the support of her three sons and two daughters, disdaining to receive assistance from her Tory relations on the side of her parents, but she performed a difficult and dangerous part that her country, for which her husband bad died, might be free. She was the trusted friend of General Washington, and from her he received, by means of trusted messengers, his knowledge from time to time, of the numbers and operations of the British while they held Philadelphia.
