Concord Quaker Meeting House and Cemetery 1782-early 1900s
On Negus Road, Colerain, Belmont  County, Ohio


 

At one time there was a schoolhouse located next to the meeting. As you face the meeting from the road, it was on the left.

Note: This is the cemetery where the Quaker Josiah Fox, the Naval Architect  who designed and built the USS Constitution and other Revolutionary War era ships is buried. Fox was ostracized by the Quakers for his role. His retirement estate, still occupied and now known as "Quaker Acres." is located just Southwest of Colerain. It was purchased by my Great Grandfather Theodore Clark circa 1865 and sold by the family in 2000.
