Aaron HAIT

Abt 1756 - 1780  (24 years)

• Name	Aaron HAIT  [1]
  	The New York Genealogical and Biographical Register: Aaron Hait was listed on a revolutionary War militia pay roll dated 20 March 1777 in Greenwich, Connecticut. He had served nineteen days in the 9th Connecticut Militia, Captain Charles Smith's Company, Col. John Mead's Regiment, under the command of General Wooster, and was discharged 28 November 1776. Aaron's father and brother, David and Frederick Hait, and his brother-in-law Gideon Palmer, married to Aaron's sister Mary, also served in the 9th regiment. Gideon, like Aaron, enlisted in Greenwich on the same day, and served in the same company. Other men associated with the David Hait family also served in this unit: Benjamin Brush was ensign, John Todd was drummer, and Jacob White was a fellow private. Captain Charles Smith was "of Stanwich", in Greenwich just over the town line from the Long Ridge area where the Haits resided. An unpublished and undocumented family history written by Henry Hait's granddaughter-in-law says of Aaron only that he "was a sailor in the English navy." No contemporary evidence regarding this alleged British service has been located, though his patriotic service seems to contradict this tradition. [1]
