Zane family

Zane family

The Zane family is an important family in the history of the U.S. state of Ohio. Ohio's connection to the Zanes began with the brothers Isaac and Ebenezer Zane (1747–1811), who laid out much of the Ohio Territory, including the municipalities of Zanesville and Zanesfield.

Zane Grey (1872–1939), a popular author of Western novels, was the latest notable figure of the family. Grey's mother was part of the Zane family, and was given the name Zane in honor of this maternal line.

Other places named for the family include::* Zane Township, Logan County, Ohio:* Zane's Trace, an early road running through Ohio from Wheeling, West Virginia to Maysville, Kentucky.
