In the will of the latter, this mention is made: 'I allow to my nephew, Archibald Roan (in case the above persons, the Rev. George Duffield, and my executors apprehend him religiously disposed), twenty pounds towards his college expenses.' He studied law and removed to Tennessee, where he obtained a license to practice that profession; he was shortly afterwards appointed District Attorney General; and in 1796 was honored with the position of Judge of the Supreme Court of Tennessee. From 1801 to 1804 he was Governor of that State, and afterwards held a number of prominent offices.
