Default Aaronic Priesthood Question

Does anyone know when we started ordaining 12 year olds to the A.P.? I have been unable to find anything and I'm extremely curious to know the history surrounding it.
My oldest will be 12 soon!

If nobody knows, can anyone think of any references I could look to for answers?

You might find these interesting:

Journal of Mormon History, Volume 22, Issue 1, Spring 1996 (start on page 80)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That is exactly the info I was looking for. The timeline looks a lot like I thought it would.

ETA: The Journal of Mormon History is a very good read and shed much light on this topic!
