The settlements, in a general way, were made first along the water courses, from the facilities for communication afforded by the navigation of them. It was during this year (1764) that the first plan of BURBRIDGE'S SETTLEMENT. 199 lots, known as the Military plan, was laid off adjacent to Fort Pitt, and the projected village called Pittsburgh. It was likewise during this same year that the old Redoubt, still standing, was erected by Colonel Bouquet immediately after his return with the army fr...om the Muskingum. Anions the settlements made on the Lovalhanna at this period, an old hunter, by the name of William Bur- bridge, had commenced one near where New Alexan- dria now stands. He had built his cabin on the banks of the creek at a considerable distance from any other; which, shaded by the luxuriant forests, had long been the remote home of the hunter-hermit before any other than himself had entered it. He had commenced what was called a tomahawk im- provemrnt ; but possibly when he took up his residence here, the acquisition of land had been no object.
