    Daniel Hennion, age 42, was living in Caldwell, NJ and working as a farmer. Family included wife Abby (37) and children Josephine (15), Minnie (Jemima, 13), Abel (11), Charles (8), Stuart (1), a yet-unnamed 1 month old baby (Elenor), and his mother-in-law Jemima Davis (61).

    It is worth noting that William Campbell and family are listed on the same census page. William's daughter Zoe would marry Abel.

    In 1900 Abigail Jane Hennion was a 67 year old widow living with her mother, Jemima Davis (91), and her aunt, Dorcas Davis (89). No one in the household was working, although both the Hennion and Davis extended families were living and working in the Caldwell area.

    In 1920 Abel Hennion was living with his widowed mother and sister (Abbie, 86, and Josephine Jacobus, 64, respectively) and his nephew (Charles Jacobus, 37) in Caldwell, NJ. Both he and Charles were working as carpenters. Although he was still married to Zoe she was not living with him, instead living in Manhattan with their two youngest daughters.

    Daniel Hennion, age 31, was living in Caldwell, NJ and was working as a farmer. Family included wife Abigail (27, called "Abba" in this census) and children Josephine (5), Jemima (3), and Abel (1).
    Davis, Jemima - 1850 US Federal Census
    Davis, Jemima - 1850 US Federal Census
    Jemima Davis, 41 years old and recently widowed, was living in New York City with her daughters Abby (17), Sarah (15), and Elizabeth (10). The census does not record that she had a job or occupation. Also living in the household were two 2 year old boys, George Bradford and Bradford Gilbert, whose relation to the family is unknown. The question of the boys' connection to the Davises is made all the more mysterious by the fact that 2 year old George Bradford's birthplace is listed as "unknown."

    It is also worth noting that Elizabeth Davis is also listed on her grandfather Moses Taylor's census as a resident of his household.
