Aaron's headstone indicates a birth year of 1865, but in the 1870 U.S. Federal Census in San Bernadino County CA, Aaron was enumerated as 2 years old. Likewise, in the 1880 census, he was enumerated as 12 years old. In addition, his birth year was listed as 1867 in the California Death Index, which also listed his age of 44 at the time of his death in 1911. Based on these reasons, I am leaving his birth year as 1867 for now. If anyone has further information about Aaron's birth year, please suggest an edit.

Aaron was born and raised in San Luis Obispo County, and he resided with his parents there up until at least the 1880 census. Voter records indicate he continued to live in the same county after his marriage in 1889, and up to at least 1908. His wife's family was living in Hollister during the same era, which may explain the couple's move there by the time of the 1910 census, shortly before Aaron's death in 1911.
