Aaron Cleaveland was born on 27 Nov 1727 in Canterbury, CT to Josiah Cleaveland and Abigail Paine.^[1]

He married Thankful Paine, his mother's 15 year old niece, in Canterbury on 7 Jun 1748 when he was 21 years old.^[2]

Ten years later he served as a 1st Lieutenant in the French and Indian War under Israel Putnam, who was later a famous general in the Revolutionary War.^[3] In 1775 when he was 48 years old, Aaron was a captain of the CT militia at the Battle of Lexington.^[4] Several books refer to additional military involvements.^[5] He died intestate at the age of 57 on 4 Apr 1785.
