Aaron was a farmer who came with his father from Virginia to Kentucky at an early day. He began life in moderate circumstances, but by industry and economy acquired a handsome property. He gave to his children before his death about 450 acres, and divided by will 486 more, in addition to another farm of 230 acres which was to be sold and proceeds divided among the children.Â
Aaron Ashbrook began life in moderate circumstances as a farmer on Indian Creek. He remained there until 1821 when he removed to Mill Creek, Harrison county, and there lived until his death. By thrift, industry and excellent management he accumulated an exceedingly large property and gave to each of his children four hundred and fifty acres, while at his death seven hundred more were divided among them by the terms of his will. His wife, Sallie Veach, was a daughter of Thomas and Jane (Huff) Veach, and Thomas Veach was a son of John Veach, and his wife, Jane Stewart. Aaron Ashbrook's father, Felix Ashbrook, was born in Virginia and died in Harrison county in 1843 at the age of seventy-five years. His wife, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Todd, was born in Maryland, and died September, 1838, at the age of seventy years. Aaron Ashbrook was born, lived and died in the Old Dominion.
