!He marched with the E. Hartford company for the relief of Boston in April 1775. Afterwards he was a captain in the China trade.

The city of North Olmsted in Cuyahoga County, Ohio was named after Aaron as he was the principle investor in Township 6 Range 15 as a wealthy merchant of East Hartford, Connecticut. Because he died before the land could be deeded to him, his son, Charles Hyde Olmsted, took over his holdings. He offered 500 books for a library if the town were named after his father. Charles never lived there, either.

Norton, early in May 1775, accepted the position as Clerk and Orderly Sergeant in a Company ofFoot in Lt. Col. George Pitkin's regt. and was stationed at Roxbury for the siege of Boston. He was discharged there late in Dec. 1775. During his servicethere, about August 1, 1775, he received intelligence of dangerous sickness inhis family and went home, leaving as his substitute Aaron Olmsted, who was an officer. It is proper to state that the files in this office show instances ofofficers volunteering short tours of duty as privates. Olmsted was or had beenadjutant of the regiment and was of East Hartford,CT. Norton was appointed at the May session 1775 of the Legislature, cornet in the 19th REgt. and Lieutenant in Jauary 1778, and Captain in April 1779. The Light Horse was composed ofmembers from East Hartford, East Windsor, and it is probable from some of theother adjoining towns. He is alluded to as in the 4th Company and 2d REgt. by witnesses testifying to portions of his services. He served 2 or 3 months in 1776, as cornet in the Light Horse in NY City, and when the place was evacuated Sep. 15, 1776, he retreated with the army under Gen. Washington to White Plains,Westchester Co. Early in 1777 he, with the Light Horse, was ordered for dutyin Rhode Island, and in Aug 1777 under Capt. Joel Loomis and Lt. Augustus Fitch, he marched to oppose the advance of Gen. Burgoyne, at or near Saratoga, NY.In the same year, or in 1778, he was on duty at Horse Neck in Greenwich, Fairfield Co., CT In August and September 1781, as Captain of the Light Horse, he was escort to Gov. Trumbull going to the headquarters of Gen. Washington with a large sum of money to pay the troops of the State.
