Pop-up Pedigree

Father   Edward Brockway2 b. 1736, d. 4 March 1813
Mother   Abigail Palmer b. 20 November 1734, d. 11 August 1769

Birth 1 August 1769 Aaron was born on 1 August 1769 at Branford, Connecticut.3,4

Marriage #1 30 June 1796 Aaron Brockway, 26 years old, married Mary Williams Emmons, who was 31 years old, 30 June 1796 in Connecticut.  History of Ashtabula county says that they had "Children" that were born in Ohio and died as infants. Also, it is said that during the first 7 months that they lived in Ohio she did not see another white woman.5,6

July 1798 In July of 1798 Aaron Brockway brought the first family to Vernon township in Trumbull county Ohio. The first births in the township were Aaron's children, that died as infants. Other early settlers were Thomas Giddenger, Martin Smith and a Mr. Ely. It appears that brother Titus was also a very early resident of this area and is considered the first permanent resident of Hartford.7

1802 Aaron kept the First public house in Burg Hill in Trumbull county, Ohio which he opened about 1802.8,9

Marriage #2 1 Feb 1804 Aaron Brockway, 34 years old, married Lucy Lucinda Bushnell, who was 23 years old, daughter of Alexander Bushnell and Chloe Waite, 1 February 1804 in Hartland, Connecticut. Pioneer Women also gives 1804 as date of marriage but in Ohio. Since Aaron was in Ohio as early as 1789 a marriage in Ohio is possible. Though he could have returned to Connecticut to marry.6,4

Tax List between
1807 and 1810		 Aaron Brockway appears on the tax list or duplicate for Trumbull county, Ohio, for the year of between 1807 and 1810.10

1818 Aaron was one of the big $$ subscribers to the building of the first Congregational church in Hartford, Trumbull county Ohio in 1818.9

1820 Aaron shows on the tax duplicate in 1820 for land that he purchased from WILCOX in Range 1, Township 10, what is now, Ashtabula county, Ohio. He shows as a non resident owner for this land in 1821. in 1822 he paid $1.95 tax on this land as a non resident owner. In 1823 and 1824 he again paid tax on this land as a non resident. By 1830 he shows with land in Richmond, Ashtabula county but was deliquent on the 1829 tax. Again he is list as non resident.12

Cen1830 1830 Aaron Brockway may appear on the 1830 U.S. Census in Hartford, Trumbull county, Ohio, with a household that is recorded as 011110001 01111001. This would mean that he was 60 to 70 years old and therefore born between 1760 and 1770. The youngest 4 children are Uriah, Emily, Olive and Edmund. It is hard to decide who the older four are since there is no male born between 1811 and 1815 that was alive in 1830.13

circa 1835 About 1835 Aaron Brockway and Lucy moved to Jenks Forest in either Wyoming county or Forest county, PA.14

Death 29 July 1848 Aaron died on 29 July 1848 at Jenks,  Pennsylvania at age 78. 4,15

Burial 31 July 1848 Aaron was buried in Jenks, PA. He was buried near the school house in a "pease of land given for that purpose".15

3 Sept 1848 On 3 Sept 1848 Olive Brockway Hoadley wrote a letter to her sister Aurelia telling of the death of their father Aaron, the illness of their mother Lucy and the death of Amos Jones Jr., the son of Amos Jones Sr. and Roxanne Brockway, a sister of Aaron Brockway.   This Letter.

At this point in time Olive was living in Hartford, Ohio, it appears that her parents, Aaron and Lucy were in Jenks Pennsylvania and sister Aurelia was in Missouri.
