Daughter of Fam2)
Margaret Bannon b. 1822 in Fermanagh emigrated c. 1842 married Thomas Preston also of Fermanagh in New Haven, CT in 1843
I knew that family was from Fermanagh and when searching records the best match is for names that show up in In 1835 Tithe Applotments
The following Bannons all in the townland of Cavancurragh in Derryvullen, Fermanagh .. many of the names match My family:
Hugh Bannon,James Bannon Sr and James Bannon Jr; Michael Bannon, Patrick Bannon, Sarah Bannon, Thomas Bannon, William Bannon.
There was also a Maguire family that was somehow connected to My Bannons in New Haven.

Part of the 1821 census for Co Fermanagh has survived and that includes the parish of Derryvullen. You might want to look at that. There?s a copy in PRONI (the public record office), Belfast (ref: MIC/5 & 15A). I am not aware if it?s on-line anywhere. Possibly not.

Rootsweb has the 1821 Fragments online but they do not have Cavancurragh
I assume since the list of townlands that they DO have is fairly long.. that it is a complete
list of the fragments that do exist... so I'm out of luck.
There are some Bannons but not mine.
I also saw that the LDS is in the process of filming the 1821 Census
