If you have access to Lexis, search "Archibald Roane" [John's nephew] where there is a good deal on the family. John came from n. Ireland as I recall. See: McAlarney, Mathias Wilson, The History of the Sesquicentennial of Paxtang Church, Harrisburg, Harrisburg Publishing Company,1890: it contains soemn of Rev. Roan's marriages etc.
