He was listed in Campbell Co, (now Kenton Co) KY in 1800, and by 1810 was in Butler Co, Ohio, living on land in Wayne Twp, adjoining Silas, John, and Samuel Garrison, his younger brothers. This land had been purchased in 1803 by Levi Garrison of Hamilton Co, (OH). Aaron moved to Miller Twp, Dearborn Co, IN, where in 1816, he and his wife, Lucy, sold 80 acres of land; the balance of his Dearborn Co. land was sold by them in 1824. By 1830, they were living in Rush Co, IN.

Portrait & Biological Album of McLean Co, IL, Vol 1, by Brookhaven Press, 1887:
"Mrs. Clarissa Wall, a native of Kentucky was born 30 Nov 1807. Her father, Aaron Garrison, a native of South Carolina, left his native state when a young man and wound his way to Ohio, stopping first at Cincinnati where he met Miss Lucy McCollum, who was a native of his own State, and where her parents removed to Cincinnati, while it was yet an infant village.

After marriage, Mr. Garrison located across the river in Kentucky, where he remained until 1811. He then proceeded to Indiana and settled nine miles west of Lawrenceburg in Dearborn County, upon a tract of timber land, consisting of 60 acres, where he put up a hewn-log house and cleared 50 acres.

In 1824, he disposed of this and purchased 248 acres of timber land in Rush County, where he put up another hewn-log house, which he occupied with his family until 1856. Then disposing of this, he purchased 160 acres in Brown County. This was partially improved. He was then in the 84th year of his age and lived but a few months, his death occurring in December of that year. (No year stated).

Mr. Garrison was married three times, his first wife (Lucy McCollum) is the mother of our subject, dying in Rush County in 1829. The second wife, formerly Miss Elizabeth Scott, also died in Rush County. He married his third wife, Rebecca Johnson, when 80 years of age. His children, nine in all, were by the first marriage. Of this, four sons and four daughters grew to years of maturity".
