Vicki, The United Brethren (sometimes United Brethren in Christ) and Evangelical denominations merged in the late 1940s to form the Evangelical United Brethren Church (EUB). The EUB church then merged (maybe in the 1960s) with the Methodist to form the United Methodist Church. There are archives of the EUB Church held at United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. The archives of the Methodist Church are held at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. I would suggest that you write to the EUB archives in Dayton and inquire whether they have any record of Aaron GROVER. I am sorry that I don't have the specific address (it might be 1810 Harvard Blvd) but you should be able to find it with a search using Yahoo or Google. You might also want to look at the records available through the FHL <http://www.familysearch.org>. Quite a few of the Wood Co church records have been filmed; I do not recall if this includes the United Brethren Church. You might also want to check the catalogue at the Center for Archival Collections (CAC) for Wood Co church records. Hope this helps.
