Note

Note: Of "Uppowoc" on the Mattaponi, King William County, VA. Married a Miss Jones from Middlesex County, VA. He and his brothers, Col. William Roane and Thomas Roane lived about 20 miles apart, almost at the three corners of a triangle, each on a large tract of land, and each owning other large tracts. Some one asked one of them, why, considering their very great attachment to each other, they had not settled close together, and the reply was sensible and characteristic, "It is precisely because of our attachment to each other, and our wish to preserve it, that we have separated, upon full deliberation, and gone so far off that when we meet at each other's houses, it will be as brothers and guests. Brothers should never join fences, for if they should agree, it is likely that their wives and children might not; and if we quarrel, there will be the devil to pay." ....

John Roane was never in public life except to act as Justice of the Peace.
