Both were listed in the 1800 census for Monson, Chester with two sons under 10 and Jonathan with one. The chances are good that this Aaron was the son of one of these, but I can't say which. I would guess, too, that Chester and Jonathan might have been brothers and that their father was the Jonathan Sr also listed in the 1800 census at Monson.
