Defining "Settler"

At a new web site devoted to definitions, I found this:

settler

“In the majority of cases such lands are either cleared or partly cleared, and the settler is able to put in a crop right away, providing he obtains possession at a seasonable time."

Definitions
American Heritage Dictionary:

1. noun One who settles in a new region.
2. noun One who settles or decides something.

Examples

"This settler was walking alone, needing no group to support him either physically or morally."

"'A settler is always an outsider who does not have the same claim as other people of a country," said Mulder. " — IOL: News
"Olmert called the settler attacks "brutal and unacceptable" and declaring that "pogroms against non-Jewish residents" would not be tolerated. " — It's Almost Supernatural

The proper word is revenant.
