Aaron was born about 1818 in Ross County, Ohio. His grandfather and great uncle Joseph and Robert Beathe had come to America from Ireland before 1750 and the first records of them in the colonies are found in the Augusta County, Virginia, courts. The surname was originally spelled with a final "e" --Beathe. Most Beathes who went to Ohio dropped the "e." Others who went to Missouri and Kansas kept the "e."
Aaron was a son of Joseph Beathe and Barbara Moomaw Beathe. After his father's death, one Daniel Pricer was appointed guardian for him and his underage siblings.
Aaron married Elizabeth Snyder on January 7, 1841 in Ross County, Ohio,[1][2]and in the 1870s they moved to Kansas. Aaron died there in 1899.
