Aaron was born about 1748. He passed away about 1818.

Research Notes
The inaccurate (or lack of) specification between Aaron Bridges Sr. and Aaron Bridges Jr. on multiple documents and document transcriptions has me very confused. I have family records stating that Aaron Bridges was the father of Aaron Bridges, both born in North Carolina with approximate years listed. I thought I had found plenty of evidence to confirm this, but recently found some documents that contradict the others. Needless to say this profile is being researched (I am a direct descendent of this Bridges).
