Aaron Abbott was born January 21, 1728 and died in Woolwich, Maine on November 26, 1817, age 89 years, 10 months, 5 days. It is said that Aaron came from Berwick to the Montsweag area (now a part of Woolwich) as a young man in about 1748.

Aaron was in the French and Indian War and served both in Capt. Lemont’s Company and in Capt. Solomon Walker’s Company. He was present in 1755 at the defeat of Maj. Gen. Edward Braddock, Commander-in-Chief of the 44th & 48th Regiments of the British forces in North America.

He signed the petition to separate from Georgetown and to incorporate as the town of Woolwich. This petition passed, and Woolwich was formed on October 20, 1759
