Elizabeth Zane Chapter History:
The Elizabeth Zane Chapter makes its home in the beautiful town of Buckhannon, West Virginia. The Elizabeth Zane Chapter was organized July 21, 1902 by Frances Mabel Hart and is the third oldest chapter in WV. The name chosen for the chapter was Elizabeth Zane, heroine of Fort Henry Wheeling, West Virginia, on September 11, 1782. She was born in 1759, died in 1823 and was the daughter of William Andrew Zane. Buckhannon is known for being the location of the Pringle tree where John and Samuel Pringle hid out in during the French and Indian was after fleeing Fort Pitt sometime around 1768. This would begin the movement of settlers traveling into central West Virginia, though the original land claims would not be recognized by the Virginia government until 1781.
