He was a pioneer who established a land claim at the junction of Wheeling Creek and the Ohio River in 1770 where he established the first permanent settlement.
He later acquired additional lands including the present Zanesville, OH, which was named after him. Ebenezer was a frontiersman who blazed the trail, Zane’s Trace from present-day WV to KY. "
