Notes:

GEORGE WASHINGTON3 ARNN SR (Abraham2 Aron Sr, Jacob1 Aaron) was born in 1772 in Pittsylvania, Virginia. He died on 11 Jul 1855 in Henry, Tennessee. He married SARAH WALKER on 10 Dec 1797 in Pittsylvania, Virginia, daughter of Elisha Walker and Judith Kirby. She was born in 1783 in Pittsylvania, Virginia. She died on 21 Jun 1849 in Henry, Tennessee. Notes for George Washington Arnn Sr: from LA: Identified in land tax records 1805 as "George W. Aron". According to Mrs. McRee of MI, a descendent, her great grandfather was named George Washington Aron and Mary Arnn who married George Sr's son Henry was his mother. No doubt the latter George Washington Aron was named after his grandfather. HP/RAC identifies him as George M. Aaron
Deed dated 17 Jul 1797 - purchased 164 acres on Sandy River from Henry and Elizabeth Warren for 24 pounds. Listed in the land tax records with this acreage until 20 Oct 1800 when he buys 120 acres from Abraham Aaron, Jr. for $100. This land was located on Turkey Cock Creek. [DB 12, p. 212, Chatham - LA, p. 36, ref 29] Deed recorded 14 May 1807 - bought 100 acres from Abraham Sr. This was part of a 220 acre plot surveyed 9 Apr 1801. Land located on branches of Sandy River and Turkey Cock Creek - paid his father 30 shillings. By 1829 he had extensive holdings [see LA, p. 34]; sold all remaining land in 1829. George left Virginia and moved to Henry County Tennessee about 1830. An inventory of his property is under the name of George Arun. HP/RAC lists him as George M. Aaron, Sr. Please contact me at jknight@boone.net for further information.
Notes for Sarah Walker:

LA: "George married Sarah Walker 10 Dec 1797. She was the daughter of Elisha Walker and sister to Isaac Arnn's first Wife, Polly. Sarah was a little younger than George; the 1820 census listing him as '45 years and afterward'. The 1820 census of Pittsylvania County, Virginia lists 'one
free white female between 26-45'. This is most likely Sarah...Sarah probably went by the nickname Sally...A note in a son's [Abihu] Bible stated her death..." LA mentions a letter from George and Sally Arnn living in Henry County, Tennessee to their sons Henry and George and others back in Virginia. This would indicate that spelling of the name was
Arnn bef 1849.
George Washington Arnn Sr and Sarah Walker had the following children:
i. HENRY CLAY4 ARNN was born in 1799 in Pittsylvania, Virginia, He died about 1858 in Henry, Tennessee. He married (1) MARY ANN ROBERTSON on 26 Nov 1825 in Pittsylvania, Virginia. She was born in 1800 in Pittsylvania, Virginia. She died in Henry, Tennessee. He married (2) NANCY MARTIN in 1821.

Notes for John Arnn:
Per LA - "In the letter ...March 1830 Sally or Sarah [her real name] mentions a boy John who was killed and another boy William and a child Kit." It is assumed that they were also children. No other record has been found of William or Kit.

By 1830 they and most of their children had migrated to Henry Co., TN where she died in Jun 1849 followed by him on 11 Jul 1855.

1. George Washington Aaron, Jr. was born in 1805 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died in 1880 in Henry, Tennessee.
2. Henry Clay Aaron was born in 1799 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died in 1858 in Henry, Tennessee.

Notes:

JACOB1 AARON was born about 1709. He married CATHERINE.
Jacob Aaron and Catherine had the following children:
2. i. ABRAHAM2 ARON SR was born in 1732 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. He died
about 1815 in Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA. He married (1) PHILPOTT about 1755 in
Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA. She was born about 1740. She died in 1765. He married
(2) JUDITH DILL in 1772 in Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA. She was born about 1752.
ii. GEORGE AARON was born about 1735.
iii. DANIEL AARON was born about 1736.

Abraham may be the son of Jacob Aaron and Catherine, his wife. However, no primary documentation has been found to support this relationship.

There were two Aaron men contemporary with Abraham in Virginia: William and Daniel Aaron. A DNA analysis has proven no relationship between these men and Abraham. I do not know if the Daniel given as a brother to Abraham is the same Daniel found in VA but there was not a DNA match even at the 25 marker level.
