Notes:
Note:
David Kennon was born in Massachusetts about 1786. His father was Isaac Kennon also born in Massachusetts. David's mother may have been Ruth Burnham. By 1830, David Kennon was living in Plattsburgh, Clinton, New York. He appears to have been married twice. His first wife may have been SophiaTowsley/Tousley. Together they may have had at least 5 children: Elvira, Elizabeth, Sophia, Julia and Caroline. In the 1830 census for Plattsburgh, Clinton, New York, David Kennon is the head of household for a family of 14. By 1830, David Kennon had remarried to Fanny Fillmore. She had two daughters from an earlier marriage and David and Fanny had one son, Albert, about 1830. By 1840, Isaac Kennon, David's father is mentioned in the family as a pensioner for the Revolutionary War. May 26, 1845, David Kennon was appointed administrator of Isaac Kennon's estate by the Clinton County court as Isaac Kennon had died intestate. By 1850, all five of David and Fanny's children are mentioned:Albert, Septa (after Fanny's father), Frances, Sophia and Helen. In 1860, David and Fanny are living by themselves in Plattsburgh, Clinton, New York. Albert, however, is living next door with his wife Betsey Garrett and their two children, Frederick and Clara. The three daughters are all unmarried at this point and are living with other relatives. David Kennon probably passed away between 1860 and 1870. David Kennon was a tanner and currier by trade.

Until 1850 the Federal Census lists only the head of household and after that the number of inhabitants by age and sex. There is no way of knowing whether the family is blended or if the household members are employees or not.
This David Kennon and household does not fit any scenario I can discern. In 1810 David and Sophia are newly wed and have no children, David is about 24 years old and Sophia about 18.
