Birth
Aaron was born in the town of New Scotland, Albany county, New York, in 1797.[1] He was the son of Coenrad Hotaling and Janetta Bogardus.[1]
Occupation
At the division of his father's property it was supposed that he got the less valuable half, but he later discovered upon it quarries of bluestone that made him a very rich man. Albany sidewalks are paved almost exclusively with flagstones taken from these quarries, and innumerable carloads have been shipped to distant points. In 1855 he retired from the active operation of his quarries and settled in a comfortable home in Albany, where he died eleven years later. The quarries are located near Reidsville, in the town of Berne, and are yet a source of supply for flagging purposes. He was originally a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, but later became connected with the First Baptist Church in Albany. He was a man of religious nature, and lived a most exemplary life. In politics he was a Democrat.[1]
