John and Phebe lived on the north side of Knob Mountain, on the south side of North River. Originally this land was owned by Jonathan Hiett, a 154-acre grant by Lord Fairfax (Deed book 11, pages 606-607, in Romney.)
In 1786, he witnessed the will of Thomas Edward, pioneer to Capon Valley.
He served as a security for the settlement of his mother's estate in 1829. His brother, Benjamin, lived on the old homeplace and I suspect that they were negligent in taking care ofthe legal matters. John did not own land in Ohio, as stated in Early records: Hampshire Co., Vir by Sage and Jones. One can see this error in interpretation by looking at the original documents in the courthouse in Romney.
It is believed that this John Slane served in the War of 1812, holding the rank of ensign. He and Phoebe were the parents of three sons and five
daughters.References:

The Slane family own a tract of land in the mountains of Hampshire Co., W. Va., which was granted by Lord Fairfax to John Hyatt October 2, 1762, and they also have the original grant of the same. This tract, 91 acres, was willed by John Hiatt (in 1764). to his son Timothy, but as Timothy left no descendats the land must have been given to his sister Phebe. (R2).
The 1790 Census of Virginia (1782-5 Tax Lists). gives John Sloan (1782 Tax List). in Hampshire Co., Va., with 6 white polls; 1784 Tax List: John Slone, 7 white polls, no dwelling, and 2 other buildings. Evidently Phebe Hiatt was not his first wife.
