REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO WHOM WAS REFERRED, ON THE 4TH INSTANT, THE PETITION OF ISAAC ZANE. 21ST FEBRUARY, 1800.
[Philadelphia: 1800]. 4pp. Disbound. Else Near Fine.
Isaac Zane was a member of the Zane family of Wheeling, after whom Zanesville, Ohio is named. He was "made a prisoner by the Wyandot Indians when an infant of nine years of age, with which nation he has ever since remained, having married an Indian woman by whom he has many children."
The Wyandots assigned him a tract of land. That land was later ceded to the United States by the Treaty of 1795. Zane asks that his title be confirmed. The Committee agrees, recommending that the United States convey to him 2560 acres of land at Big Bottom on Mad River. The Committee observes that Zane, during "the Indian war, rendered great and repeated services to the frontier settlements..."
