    Notes:

    Note:
    Frances Kennon was born between 1835 and 1840 in New York, the daughter of David and Fanny (Fillmore) Kennon. She grew up in Plattsburgh, Clinton, New York. She was probably included in the 1840 census enumeration of David Kennon's household and was listed as well in the 1850 census. In 1860, she and her sister Helen were enumerated at their aunt and uncle's (George & Laura (Fillmore) Bristol) in Wheatland, Monroe, New York. Why they were there is unclear. Their other sister,Sophia, was also found living away from their parents' home in Plattsburgh and was living with their mother's half-sister Mary (Luther) North and her husband Alexander in Chazy, Clinton, NewYork. All three girls were single. One might guess that finances at home weren't too great and it eased the burden some to have children living with relatives.Frances is said to have married Charles Bristol. As it turned out, there was a Charles E. Bristol in the George and Laura Bristol household in 1860, the same time that Frances and her sister were with the family. I don't know if the cousins married one another as there is no evidence yet to support this, but it's an interesting coincidence for the moment. (25 May 2000 AT).

    Francis married Charles E BRISTOL about 1861. Charles (son of George BRISTOL and Laura Ann FILLMORE) was born on 27 Apr 1840 in NY; died on 21 Feb 1924 in San Antonio, Bexar, TX. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
