Dear Sir
Did Aaron Warren of Vt. and later of Murray, Orleans Co. N.Y. have a pension?
If he did will you please send his military service and as much family matter as possible.
We do not know the name of his wife but the Landmarks of Orleans Co. says, he had five children: Joel, George, David, Aaron and Polly.
From the history it appears that Capt. Aaron, as he was called here, was the son of Aaron.
Aaron was born at Montpelier Vt 1803.
In 1932 the Historical Dept of N. Y. state and Orleans Chapter, D. A. R. placed a marker with the names of Revolutionary soldier of the town of Murray on it. At that time I asked for this along with the other soldiers of Murray. I have a copy of the others but not this one. We had to turn in the original records to the state, as I recall it you did not have time to cover all of them. Thank you for this help you give us. we are going to place a marker on his grave May 30.
