Aaron was born in about 1729, in Maryland, to George and Elizabeth (Lucas) Moore. He married Polly Prather in 1750, in Maryland. They had 16 children. He served in the 3rd Battalion, Lancaster, Pennsylvania Militia during the Revolutionary War. He enlisted in December 1776. He died in Fayette, Pennsylvania, in 1785, at the age of 55. He is buried in Moore Cemetery, Fayette, Pennsylvania.
Aaron Moore may be a sibling of a number of Moores identified to Fayette and Greene County, Pennsylvania, but, despite some suggesting he was a son of George Moore and Elizabeth Lucas, there are only two children for George and Elizabeth DOCUMENTED with St. Barnabas Church: George and Mary.[1] There appear to be no birth records for other children, and place of birth used for all the others appears to have been extracted from Find-a-Grave pages, none of which provide source information. A SAR application, dated March 1941, shows John Moore (aka John Nathaniel Moore), as a son of George Moore and Elizabeth Lucas, but no primary source for this is cited. Further, Y DNA tests of descendants of supposed sons Aaron and William G. Moore indicate haplogroup A9863, yet, descendants of James Moore/Muir, brother to John Moore (George's father) fall under haplogroup FT176771. A9863 and FT176771 do not match, and, therefore, Aaron and William G. Moore cannot be sons of George Moore and Elizabeth Lucas. Considering this, it is also likely that Simon, Ezekiel, Martha, and John Nathaniel Moore were not children of George Moore and Elizabeth Lucas.[2].
