Shortly after the death of his father Aaron was placed in the family of his uncle, Silas Dodd (who married a sister of his mother), where he remained four years; then he entered a grammar school at Bottle Hill (now Madison), N. J., where he spent five months; he then entered a grammar school at Newark, N. J., 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 a practicing physician at Orange, N. J.), with a view of studying medicine; this purpose, however, was abandoned in 1786, for reasons which he gives at length in his autobiography (no known autobiography has been located, just the entry in Church history2787). He was converted in 1785, and was admitted to the Orange Presbyterian church in August of the same 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 a 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 at 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, N. J., Jan. 7, 1790, after which he preached for a time in the vacant pulpits within the bounds of this Presbytery. On the first of January, 1793, he accepted a call to the church at Stillwater, N. Y., and was installed its pastor on the 15th of the same month, by the Presbytery of Albany. From this pastorate he was dismissed at his own request, Aug. 16, 1796, and in December following was installed pastor at Hanover, N. J.
Rev. Aaron Condit's ministry at Hanover embraced thirty-five and one-half years. During this time the accessions to the membership of the church were six hundred and forty-four on examination, and eighty-one by certificate from other churches. The number of baptisms was nine hundred and eighty-eight. After his pastorate here was closed, on account of age and declining health, he moved to Morristown in 1839, where he remained until his death. Few men are blessed in their lives of usefulness, and in their families, as was Rev. Aaron Condit.8
Aaron Condit, a descendent of John Condict who immigrated to Newark in 1686 from Great Britain, was born on August 6, 1756 in what was Newark and later became known as Orange, New Jersey.  Due to financial difficulties caused by the Revolutionary War and a large family, he moved in with his uncle, Silas Dodd (d. 1830) at the age of 11.  In 1782, he moved in with his brother John.
Aaron Condit entered the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) as a junior in 1787 and graduated in 1788. After his graduation, he taught at the Orange Academy in Orange, New Jersey, until 1790 when he was licensed by the Presbytery of New York in Morristown, New Jersey.  He was ordained as a Reverend in 1793.
In 1796 Aaron joined the ministry at the church in Hanover, New Jersey as a pastor until 1831.  At this time he moved in with his second wife’s sister, Elizabeth Conkling.2788
Aaron Condit spelled his name without the "c", but has since been cross referenced with the spelling Condict.
