From the book History of Walworth County Wisconsin, by Albert Clayton Beckwith, publ. 1912 - page 503-504

DAVID COON was born in Rhode Island, March 16, 1785; lived in Madison and Jefferson counties, New York; in 1852 followed his sons to the town of Walworth; died June 9, 1838. Mary BENTLEY, his wife, was born June 5, 1787; died September 25, 1870. Not enough has been gathered as yet from family records to determine all of the children or next nearer kindred. Gardner COON (1808-1879) and wife Damaris (1808-1883) had children, William, Henry, Charlotte, Alzine. David COON, Jr., (1810-1886) married Hannah M. (1818-1889), daughter of Stephen CLARK and Judith MAXON; their children were Louisa and Lucy. Elisha Bentley COON (1817-1901) and wife Louisa had daughters Catharine and Caroline. He had been a teacher in his wander-years, and among his pupils had been John Griffin CARLISLE, of Kentucky. Charles Douse COON (born 1825) and wife Cynthia N. CRANDALL (born 1826) had children Charles, Mary, William. Some of these names and dates may be incomplete and inexact. They are shown by the census of 1860, which also shows, in the same town, Dr. Nathan COON (aged thirty-eight), wife Penna (aged thirty-seven), daughter Josephine (aged fourteen). Also, Orrin COON (aged forty-eight), wife Mary (aged forty-seven), daughters Catharine (aged nineteen), Harriet (aged fifteen. George COON (aged twenty) lived with William CLARK. Besides these, Marshall COON (1856-1908) married, first, Lucy CAMPBELL; second, Luella CRANDALL. He left two sons.
