Born in Stow, MA in 1808, Aaron followed the carpentry trade like many Walcotts before him.

In 1840, when he was thirty-two, he abandoned the carpentry trade and embarked on a new career as "an upright and faithful officer" of the City Watch and Police Department of Boston. His son (Aaron Francis) and one of his grandsons followed in his footsteps as law enforcement officers for brief periods of their lives.
