• Notes

  Aaron, a farmer, was involved in the Anti-Rent movement in Andes, New York. In 1844, a Delaware county group organized in Andes, because Sheriff's men, the most flamboyant of whom was Undersheriff Osman "Bud" Steele, had been enforcing sales. They went along with their neighbors in adjoining counties and adopted Indian disguises, which in early 1845 were declared illegal. On August 7 of that year, Anti-Renters from a wide area gathered at the farm of Moses Earl near the foot of Dingle Hill, about a mile and a half southeast of Andes. They had heard that Earle's cattle were to be sold for non-payment of rents and were determined to convince the posse otherwise. Steele, who earlier in the day at Hunting's Hotel, a center for the pro-rent forces, had boasted his confidence of victory with the words "Lead can't penetrate Steele!" was in charge of the party. Events, later in the day, proved otherwise, the "Anti-Rent War" came to a crisis and the "War" moved into the judicial arena of the Delaware county Courts. Aaron was indicted 29 September 1845 on a charge of riot, dressed in disguise.
