Dear Frances,
I have a John Strimple (born abt 1770, died 1814 Kingwood NJ) married to an
Elizabeth Pettit (c.1775-1856). They married 22 November 1795. John died
intestate, so his estate doesn't name his children. I wonder if he and wife
Elizabeth were the parents of your Aaron and Christopher Strimple.
