Some sources calucluate his birth date as June 3 1838.
It was suggested that Aaron died in Peru, possibly because some *transcripts" of Vermont burial records have been indexed to suggest that everyone died in the same town where they are buried. That is often not the case.

Aaron died from injuries he received while working at a grist mill owned by Enos Canfield in Arlington, Vermont. (The Manchester Journal, November 19, 1867: "He was a young man of unblemished character and loved and respected by all who knew him. )
