Noted events in his life were:
• Research Notes: Otis Family in America by William A. Otis. 1 "Arunah Otis enlisted when he was eighteen years of age in the Revoutionary army, and assisted in laying a chain across North River, near West Point. He served in Colonel Samuel Canfield's militia regiment at West Point. A description of his person will give a good idea of his brothers. He was of full medium height, had an oval face, blue or gray eyes, a somewhat bald head, and sandy hair; his corpulency was probably increased by a dropsical affection, which made him appear larger than his brothers. His wife was the counterpart of her husband in her social qualities, and contributed her full share to make all happy. Arunah claimed that he manufactured the first saw in Vermont, and made the first cheese in Jefferson County, New York."
Arunah married Betsey ADAMS on 31 Aug 1786. (Betsey ADAMS was born on 31 Oct 1763 in Suffield, Hartford, Connecticut.)
