  Research Notes:

Second son of William and Nancy Ann Nolan Zane.

From Shenandoah Valley Pioneers, pp. 436-437 :

It seems appropriate to mention this family, as brief notices are given the families living along Cedar Creek and the North Mountain during the 18th Century. But we cannot claim the family for these sections exclusively; for we find Isaac Zane in Winchester at one time, dispensing lavish hospitality. He owned several desirable properties, and, as shown elsewhere, was a substantial friend of the old Winchester Academy in its early history. At one time he lived in Stephensburg. He had temporary residence at his Marlboro Iron Works, and spent some time with his friend Maj. Mordecai Bean, while engaged in testing the ores of the North Mountain in a smelter which they started on Bean's large tract. There is some confusion about this name. Some writers fix Isaac Zane's first appearance as one of the first pioneers, and also as Genl. Isaac Zane of the Revolutionary War period; and Col. Isaac Zane one of the Burgesses, 1773; and member of the Virginia Convention, 1775; and member of the first House of Delegates, 1784. The father and son were confounded. Isaac Zane Snior came first. It was in 1767 that he purchased 350 acres of land along the North Mountain from Henry Secrist, adjoining Michael White and Jacob Cackley. He was then a resident of Philadelphia; and it is doubtful if he ever lived in Virginia.


  Birth Notes:

Per www.wyandot.org/emigrant.htm (Larry Hancks), he was born in Berkley County, Virginia.
According to familysearch.org, Moorefield, Hardy, [West] Virginia.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Purchased: 350 acres along the North Mountain from Henry Secrist, 1767. adjoining Michael White and Jacob Cackley. He was then a resident of Philadelphia; and it is doubtful if he ever lived in Virginia.


Isaac married Myeerah, daughter of Chief Tarhe and Ronyouquaines La Durante, in 1776 in Wheeling, Ohio, (West) Virginia, (United States). (Myeerah was born about 1757 in Solomontown, Northwest Territory, <(Ohio)>, (United States) and died in Feb 1816 in Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio, United States.)
