the three tracts along the rivers anyway in 1800. The surveys for the tracts Zane acquired were completed as indiscriminate surveys before the surrounding lands were surveyed, and so do not correspond to sections or township lines in the later surveys. Surveys Survey on Muskingum The tract Zane chose for a ferry on the Muskingum River was at the confluence with the Licking river, where he laid out the town of Zanesville, Ohio in 1799. The survey was directed by Rufus Putnam in 1797. Zane gave this tract to his brother Jonathan, and son-in-law McIntire, with the deed finally signed in December 1800, for their services in laying out the road. They, in turn, leased it to William McCullough, (a relative), and Henry Crooks for five years, provided they operated the ferry. McCullough and Crooks became the first residents of Zanesville in fall 1797. The tract lies partially in what would be the United States Military District, in township 1 range 7 (T1 R7), and T1 R8 and partially in the Congress Lands East of Scioto River in T12 R13 and T16 R14. Survey on Hocking The town of Lancaster, Ohio was laid out in 1800, or 1799, at the site of the Hocking river ferry, by Ebenezer's sons, John and Noah Zane. These two had power of attorney to sell lots for Ebenezer Zane, and he never visited Lancaster. The tract lies in T14 R18 and T14 R19 of the Congress Lands East of Scioto River. Survey on Scioto Ebenezer Zane chose a site across from Chillicothe, Ohio, and about a half mile north of the town. The survey lies in T8 R21 and T1 R22 of the Congress Lands East of Scioto River Isaac Zane Tracts Ebenezer Zane's youngest brother was called Isaac Zane. He was taken captive by Indians at age nine, and taken to Detroit. He grew up there, and, as an adult, acted as an intermediary between the United States and the Indians. By act of April 3, 1802, Congress granted Isaac Zane three sections of land for his services, two of those sections reserved for his heirs at the time of his death. On August 28, 1806, patents were issued for section 15, T5, R12 in the Between the Miami Rivers Survey in fee, in Salem Township Champaign County, and in trust for the benefit of heirs at the time of his death for
