Frank, The only Aaron French I have was born in 1739 in Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, NJ. I have info on his parents and siblings but nothing else on him. Good luck.

Carol, Saw this post -- My ancestor is the same Aaron French born in 1739 in Monmouth Co., NJ and married first to Mary Clark. Their daughter, Elizabeth married my Jacob Bartholomew in 1787 -- -would anyone have a marriage record, obit, church record or anything on either of them?
