Posted by Laurie G. Lenz #2 This cemetery is located across the railroad tracks from Route 460 to Route 648 on land now owned by Mickie Thompson. This is the road to Paradise Lake. #3 This cemetery is located from Route 460 about .5 mile on Route 648 at Spout Springs on the left side of the road across from the present brick church. #4 This cemetery is located behind the present church. The church members wish to fill in the gaps and write the history of the church and its cemeteries. This massive task cannot be done without the help of the citizens of the area who had family that were born into the church, married at the church, and buried in the churches cemeteries. We are asking anyone who has information concerning the Old Concord Presbyterian Church to please contact us with any information that will help reconstruct this wonderful old church history. Without the help of genealogist, family historians, family Bibles, and family histories this will be almost impossible. Please help us by contacting one of the following people: Ronnie Carter at RBackN67@AOL.com Carolyn Austin at cmeaustin@comcast.net Laurie G. Lenz at LLenz52063@AOL.com

The Appomattox Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy is working with the Old Concord Presbyterian Church of Spout Springs to research the names and individual grave locations of persons buried in the churches 4 cemeteries. The cemetery locations are:
#1 This cemetery was originally in Bedford County, then Campbell in 1784, then Appomattox in 1845. It is in the woods approximately 30 feet off Route 718 between intersection with Route 609 and 460. It is beyond the present day Concord Cemetery.
The original church dates to about 1735 and their records were, at best, poorly kept, some lost, and some may have been destroyed.
