Person:Aaron Coolbaugh (1)

[From Wikipedia: 1769: The Pennamite-Yankee War (or the Yankee-Pennamite Wars) began when settlers from Connecticut and Pennsylvania fought over land claims along the North Branch of the Susquehanna River in the present Wyoming Valley. July 3, 1778: A force of British and Tories led by John Butler, with the assistance of about 700 Indians, attacked and killed nearly 300 Wyoming Valley settlers. Today in Wyoming, PA a monument marks the grave site of the victims from the Battle of Wyoming. September 11, 1780: Reports of Tory activity in the region caused Captain Daniel Klader and a platoon of 40 to 50 men from Northampton County, Pennsylvania to investigate. Captain Klader's men made it as far north as present-day Conyngham, when they were ambushed by the Seneca nation and by the Tories. 18 of Klader's men were killed in what is known as the Sugarloaf Massacre. September 25, 1786: Luzerne County was formed from part of Northumberland County.]

One researcher has this record: Coolbaugh Family in America, ref 840 Aaron Coolbaugh, born 01 Feb 1806 in Lockville, Pennsylvania; died unknown; met Mabel Dymond 1820 in Lockville, Pennsylvania; born 30 Mar 1808 in Lockville, Pennsylvania; died 18 Jan 1889.

Another researcher has a slightly different record, supposedly from the same source. [I have not seen this source.] This was posted to Aaron's Find-a-Grave memorial page: "From The Coolbaugh Family in America by Edward Coolbaugh Hoagland: AARON COOLBAUGH m. 1828 MABEL DYMOND, b. 30 Mar. 1808, d. 15 Jan. 1889, da.
