thanks for all your input. i found this on a link outling the history of CallowayCo & Murray... infer New Concord was called Concord until it's incorporation in 1868... or thereabouts.... prob because there was another concord incorporated in KY already? frank "New Concord - Known is 1835 as Concord was incorporated as New Concord in 1868. It had a population of about 150 and offered five stores, a tobacco factory, wagon and carriage shop, a church and academy." http://www.murraylink.com/government/profile.htm
