from History of Huntingdon and Blair counties, Pennsylvania by J. Simpson Africa

John Dickey, who came from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, was one of the earliest settlers of the present township. Some years before the Revolution he took up a large tract of land in the neighborhood of the Manor, but the unsettled condition of the country caused him to return to Carlisle, where he lived several years, then returned to Barree, which was his residence until his death in 1814, at quite an advanced age

. Of his six children one of his daughters married Michael Murray, who lived on the Manor; another John Phramton, who lived on the small stream which bears his name, formerly called Ewing's Run; while the third daughter married John Henderson, and lived on an adjoining tract of land. The sons John and Thomas removed to the West, and James died in the township.
