Individual:
Shortly after the death of his father, Aaron Condit was placed in the family of his uncle, Silas Dodd (who married a sister of his mother), where he remained four years. He then entered grammar school at Bottle Hill (now Madison), NJ where he spent five months. He then entered a grammar school in Newark under the care of Rev. Dr. Alexander McWhorter, and continued there until 1782. He then went to live in the family of his eldest brother, John (who was practicing medicine in Orange) with a view of studying medicine. This purpose, however, was abandoned in 1786, for reasons which he gives at length in his autobiography. He was converted in 1785 and was admitted to the Orange Presbyterian church in August of that year, during the pastorate of Rev. Jedediah Chapman.
One of the reasons he gives for the relinquishment of the study of medicine was that he had formed a desire for thorough collegiate education, with a view to entering the ministry. He entered school and pursued his educational course until the autumn of 1787 when he entered Princeton College. After a little more than a year of college, he began a theological course under the care of Rev. Dr. Chapman, his pastor, and while thus engaged he had charge of the Orange Academy as a means of support.
He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of New York at Morristown, NJ on January 7, 1790, after which he preached for a time in the vacant pulpits within the bounds of this Presbytery. On January 1, 1793, he accepted a call to the church at Stillwater, NY and was installed as the pastor on the 15th of that month by the Presbytery of Albany. From this pastorate he was dismissed at his own request in August of 1796 and in December 1796 he was installed pastor at Hanover, NJ.
Rev. Aaron Condit's ministry at Hanover embraced thirty-five and one-half years. After his pastorate there was closed, on account of age and declining health, he moved to Morristown in 1839, where he remained until his death.
