Notes for Aaron Wallace
His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records Aaron Wallace, age 42, born 4 Nov 1875, residence Clearfield, Rowan Co., Ky, farmer, self-employed, nearest relative Anna Wallace, same address.
His WW II draft registration card, filed April 1942, records Aaron Wallace, age 65, residence 1326 W. 13th St., Muncie, Delaware Co., Indiana, born 10 Nov 1877 in Logan Court House, W. Va, nearest contact Earl Huffman, 1515 W. 10th.
His gravestone splits the difference between these two birth dates, and records him as born 10 Nov 1876.
If he is a twin of his sister Lillie (they were both listed as age 4 in the 1880 census), then the 1875 year would probably be correct. If they are not twins, then Aaron was probably born in 1877, because Nov 1876 would be only 11 months after her reported birthdate of Dec 1875.

Census
1900 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Pearce precinct, enumerated 5 June, lists on p. 4B as family #73:
Wallas, Aaron, 22 overwritten in pencil with 19, b. Sep 1881, farm laborer; Annie, wife, 24 overwritten with 14, b. Nov 1885, number of years married 10/12, mother of 1 child, 1 living; Maudie (or Mandie) S., dau, 5/12, b. May 1900.
The ages before the correction are more consistent with other records, and the birthdates as recorded are very inconsistent, especially for Annie. The preceding household is that of Annie’s parents, Andrew Jackson Alfrey and Lou Gregory.
1910 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Pearcy precinct, enumerated 12 April, lists on p. 3A as family #38/41:
Wallace, Aaron, 33, b. WVa WVa WVa; Anna, wife, 30, b. Ky Ky Ky, married 10 years, mother of 5 children, 4 living; Maudie (or Mandie), dau, 8; Henry, son, 6; Clemie, dau, 4; Clifford, son, 2; Alfrey, Dorsie R., dau, 7/12. All children are listed as born Ky Ky Ky, although that is inconsistent with the birthplace for Aaron.
1920 census of Delaware Co., Indiana, Center township, Muncie ward 6, enumerated 8 Jan, lists on p. 8B as family #171/205, at 123 Eleventh St:
