Shawnee Cabins. A prominent landmark 

 on the traders' trail between Rays Town 

 (Bedford, Pa. ) and the Ohio r. in the 18th 

 century, situated 8 m. w. of the site of 

 Bedford and not far from the present 

 Schellburg. It was first settled by the 

 Shawnee as they came northward from 

 the Potomac early in the 18th century, 

 and was a well-known point on the In- 

 dian trail when the traders of Pennsylva- 

 nia commenced to visit the Ohio. James 

 Le Tort was perhaps the first trader to go 

 westward over this route, having trav- 

 ersed it as early as 1701; in 1712 he was 

 granted a license as a trader by the Pro- 

 vincial Council (Col. Rec. Pa., ii, 562, 

 1852). Conrad Weiser passed through 

 in 1748 on his way to Logstown (ibid., 

 v, 348, 1851). The locality is noted 

 on all early maps of Pennsylvania and 

 is mentioned in nearly all the traders' 

 journals. (g. p. d. )

 1805, but was already abandoned at the 

 time of Croghan's vi^-it in 1765.
