John Roane, the son of storekeeper and slaveholder Hugh Roane and Hannah (Seldon) Roane, was born in Lebanon, Tennessee, on January 8, 1817.
Roane moved to Arkansas in 1837 and settled in Pine Bluff (Jefferson County), where he studied law under his older brother, Samuel Calhoun Roane, a leading jurist and owner of one of Arkansas’s largest plantations.
Roane was not especially popular with rank-and-file Democrats outside the caucus, but neither the faction in power (known as the “Family”) nor its opponents had any particular objections to him, and serious opposition failed to coalesce in support of an alternative Democratic candidate.

White settlement in Roane County followed the establishment of the well-known CAMPBELL’S STATION on the western boundary of present-day Knox County in 1787, and the building of a road in 1788 from there that passed through Roane County to the Cumberland settlement.
The boundaries of the new Roane County were entirely North of the TN River.

Upon his relinquishment of that post, he sought the semi-elective position of Major-General of volunteer forces for all of Tennessee.
In that same year, Sevier would be reelected to the governor's chair, defeating Roane, and held it for six more years.
Partially because of the unusually short length of his first term due to the time of the admission of the state to the Union, Sevier served as governor of Tennessee longer than any other person except for fellow six-term governor William Carroll, who served for slightly over twelve full years.
