Dea. Aaron Lewis was selectman in 1793 and 1794, and town clerk in 1809 and 1810, a deacon in the church, a man of great piety and a citizen honored for his integrity and uprightness of character. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War (See Chap. VII), and was sometimes called Col. Lewis. In the records of the church is this record: "Voted that as there is not found any record of the vote of the church, whereas they made choice of Brothers Samuel Houston and Aaron Lewis as deacons, that the present clerk record the same." Aaron was deacon from the election there recorded until 1830, when he removed to the home of his son, Amasa, in New Boston.
