Among other famous Carrick residents it was also the burial site of John Maugridge Snowden, mayor of Pittsburgh 1825-1829 and namesake of Snowden Township, later renamed South Park Township.

The following information was supplied by John L. Snowden:

My name is John L. Snowden. My Great-Great-Great-Greatgrandfather is buried at the Concord Presbyterian Church. My father Don added a maker there a few years ago. I have information and a picture to add to your web site if you are interested.

My ancestors, the Elliotts, owned much of the area around Saw Mill Run, including the Saw mill. The area was sold to Daniel Elliott on a Virginia land grant, which was honored when the area was made part of the Pennsylvania colony. I have a picture of one of them, Daniel's grandaughter Elizabeth Elliott Snowden. She was part American Indian.

God Bless, John L. Snowden
