In 1836, this church, sometimes called Palestine, stood in the thriving village of Concordia on the Randolph Road Stage Route about one mile west of Braden. Political speeches were made and voting took place here for Civil District 8. In the 1870s, the railroad missed Concordia and ran across J. P. Braden's land instead. After Concordia residents moved closer to Braden Station, church membership dwindled and the village gradually disappeared.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
