They had a son John, born in 1838 in Pennsylvania who was raised in McHenry County Illinois, and then moved to Pottawattamie County Iowa in 1867. The Roanes are discussed in "The History of Pottawattamie County", Vol. 2, published in 1907. See web page at the following address [http://216.239.33.100/search?q=cache:rrXiFva2ovkC:www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/historical/pottawattamie/pot_18.htm+%22John+Roane%22,+Pottawattamie&hl=en&ie=UTF-8]. Any help is appreciated. - Chris Andersen cjandersen@attbi.com
