Biography
"THE FIRST PERMANENT WHITE SETTLEMENT"
“We find that the next recorded account of a white man's passing through our county was that of Martin Chartier, the white leader of the Shawnee Indians, in the year of 1695, as they were migrating to the Ohio River from Virginia. This tribe arrived on the great East-West Trail at Alliquippa's Gap, by the Warriors' Trail. Since the East-West Trail crossed over the ridge at the Willows, east of the Narrows, this migration may have been a factor in the location of the first permanent settlement by a white man west of the Susquehanna River.
"Records in the Library of Congress show the following: the first permanent white settlement west of the Susquehanna River was made in 1710, by one John de-Burt and wife Mary Seaworth, the daughter of Martin Chartier and his Indian wife. It has been established that the name de Burt later became Dibert. Records in Deed Book "A" in Bedford County Court House .show copies of warranties to Christopher Dibert, taken out by his son Michael in 1766, in Cumberland County. In one Michael mentioned; "This is the land my Father returned to, which was his Father's (John) settlement." Doing much research, not only in Bedford County but in Virginia, Humphrey Dibert found that John and Mary Dibert and seven of their twelve children were massacred by the Indians in 1732. The five that escaped made their way back to their kin in Virginia. Of the three sons and two daughters, only one, Charles Christopher, returned to Bedford County."[1]
