Facts About Early Concord The story has often been told of how Stephen Cabarrus persuaded our hard headed Scotch-Irish people and the stur dy Germans of Eastern 'Cabarrus to agree upon a town site, and how the county seat was named Concord in cel ebration of the harmonious adjustment of the difficulty. But no one has told the story of the laying out of the town site. The General Assembly of 1795 author ized John Means, James Scott and Leon ard Barbrick to act as Commissioners of Public Buildings for the new county. On February 4, 1700, they purchased 26 acres from Samuel Iluie, and on April IS. 1790, we find these Commissioners conveying certain lots in the town of Concord to a number of citizens. The 20 acres platted and laid off into lots was about 800 feet wide exclusive of Un ion street and about 1320 feet long exclus ive of Corbin street. The Court House was built in the middle of the. inter section of Union and Corbin streets, aud was, built of logs and upon stilts or log supports high enough for people to* ride underneath the building. We find that taking Union street and Corbin street as they now run, the town was laid off into what they called the North East Square, tlie South East Square, the North West Square and the South West Square, although so-called squares were in fact parallellogrums 400 feet by 600 feet. The North East Square included the part of present city now running up North Union street 660 feet from. Corbin street at Allison’s corner, and running out East Corbin street 400 feet, 'With out attempting accurate measurement we may say that:, the North East Equare stopped at the town line somewhere be tween the l old I’rifer building and the Dove and Host store and cornered on Church street jiear the marble yard, and thence with the town line down Church street to Corbin street. This square was laid off in 11 lots, every one of which was sold on April 18, 1790. Lots 1,2, 3, 4,5, 6, and 7 fronted on Union street; Lot 7 ran through 392 feet and then ex tended back down in rear of Lot 5 and 0. Lots 8 and 9 were on this rear st ret.’t unnamed, but later called Church street when the first Methodist Church was built thereon near the present cotton platform lot. Lot 10 was on the corner of Church and Corbin. Lot 11 in the middle of block on Corbin, with Lot. 1 extending 133 feet on Corbin and 165 feet on Un ion. This lot No. 1 was bought by Sam uel Huie. The first owners of these lots may be of some historical interest, hence I shall give them: Lot. No. 2, beginning 165 feet from Al lison’s corner and runs North 82 1-2 feet, thence 264 feet deep, was purchased by Henry Furrer (doubtless an ancestor of the numerous Furr family of our day). Lot No. 3, 247 feet from Allison's corner, and running thence wifth Union street 82 1-2 feet, being a part of the Court House lot next Means street, was purchased by James Scott. Lot No. 4 was bought by Philip Kress (Cress). Lot No. 5 was bought by Frederick Miller. Lot No. 6 was bought by Samuel Fer guson. Lot No. 7 was purchased by George Harris. Lots Nos. 8 and 9 were bought by Ityn hold Abenshine. Lot No. 10 was bought by Geo. Mas ters. The South East Square extended down South Union street 660 feet and out East Corbin 400 feet. A visit to this part of the town will cause you to doubt the wisdom of the Commissioners in laying off into lots laud so hilly as to be still unavailable. Doubtless you will be amazed to learn that in spite of the un favorable topography, all of these lots were sold the very first day they were open to sale, except Lots 2 and 3 on Un ion street which commenced 165 feet south of Corbin, and Lots 6 and 7 ex treme lower end of town down South' Union, that is to say about 500 to 660 feet from Corbin street. Lot 8 which lay in the deep ravine in rear of Lots 5 and 6, was also unsold. The other lots in Souih East Square were Lot No. 1, fronting 138 feet on Corbin aud running dow r n South Union 165 feet sold to Rob- ln a Changing World the Negligee Alone is Constant ILmmh e vmm—m—mmmmmm i Fashions for deshabille are the least L;;E# JiilM i"temperamental of all the modes.

V METIS MO TRIBUNE PENNY COLIjt PAGE THIRTEEN I ert Smith. Lot 11, fronting 133 feet on Corbin aud 165 feet deep was sold to Joshua Bradley. The corner Lot • 10, fronting 133 feet on Corbin and 165 feet deep was bought by Charles Harris. The strangest fact of all is that Lot No. 9, lying 165 feet south of Corbin-mnd 247 feet East of Union was purchased by Da vid Carlock on April 18, 1796. Lot 4on South Union 330 feet from Corbin was sold to John Shaver and the lot next be low to Richard Fonable. s The North West Square extended up North Union street 660 feet and then ran at right angles 400 feet to a store in Huie’s line North of a Rocky Spring, thence with Huie’s line a line parallel with Union street down to Corbin street and then up Corbin to the corner. Here again we are unable to understand why some of tlie purchasers chose such unde sirable lots. For example, who can sur mise what was in the miniT of John Means, one of the commissioners, when the only lot he bought in the entire town was Lot No. 9. which was 165 feet from Corbin and 246 feet from Union street. All the lots in this square were sold on April 18, 1796, except Lots 4 and 7 fronting on Union street, although Lot 7 ran down into tlie hollow near the rocky spring. This spring was in the line of the present storm sewer of the city iu rear of tire First Presbyterian Church. Lot No. 4 was not sold. Samuel Huie not content with owning all of the Allison property, also purchas ed the property opposite, Lot, No. 1, ex tending 132 feet on Corbin and 165 feet on Union street. Hector McCaehrun bought Lot 2 on Union now owned by Morris Realty Company* Lot 3 on Un ion street beginning 247 feet from Cor bin was bought by John Barringer. Lot 5 was bought by Henry Plott. Lot 6 was bought by Geo, Masters. Lot 9 was bought by Francis Ross. Lot 10 on Corbin by Thos. Maxwell and John. Simianer, first Register of Deeds, bought Lot No. 11, now owned by Mrs. jno. SI. Cook. The South West Square covered tlie property within tlie following lines. Run ning down West Corbin 400 feet thence across to South Union street 400 feet. Strange to say, that Lot 1, where the Lutheran Church stands, was not sold, and it was, doubtless, reserved for sale by the commissioners as the site for a prospective court house. This must be true although the Court House was later located on the Samuel Huie Lot No. 1, across the street. There are no records to show whether Samuel Huie exchanged lots with the county or sold to,(fthei-s. Leonard Barbrick, one -of tlie Commis sioners after whom Barbrick street was named, bought tlie middle lot on Corbin street, which is now owned by Mr. Thos. 11. Webb. Silas Shinn bought the cor ner lot below, near present corner of Corbin and Spring. Lot No. 2 was sold to John Furrer, lait 3 to Adam Cauble, Lot 4 to Wallace Spears, Ixit 5 unsold, Lot 6 sold to Win. McKnight and I_jit 7 which was last lot next to town boundar ies and had 50 feet on Union au(P ex tended back to .Iluie liue aud also*lay iug rear of Lots 5 and 6, was bought cby Michael WinekauT. Stephen Hadley bought Lot 9 which law 165 feet from Corbin and 247 from Union street This is tlie chronicle of the first and most suc cessful lot sale ever pulled off in Concord. It is interesting to note the number of Scotch-Irish names as compared with the German purchasers. Among the list of Scotch-Irish purchasers we find Huie, Smith, Scott, Ferguson, Harris, Masters, Bradley, McKnight, Spears. Hadley Max well. Ross. Means, McCaehran, Carlock. Among tlie German purchasers werer Bar ringer. Kress, Winekauf, Goodman, Fur rer. Abenshine, Miller, Cauble, Shinu, Plott, Shaver. y Such was the beginning of what is now tlie City of Concord with it’s magnif icent buildings, with its corporate limits extending more than 12.0 feet in length, Where formerly it was only 1320 feet in length and only 800 feet wide. Lo, the 26 acres has increased to 1920 acres. But with all this progress and material growth let us not despise these men of the pio neer days. They wrought worthily aud well deserve our praise and emulation. MORRISON H. CALDWELL. Concord, N. C., Sept. 15, 1923.
