On the 1840, he seems to have died, since Sarah Harmon (b. 1790-1800) is head of household. This couple was the only Harmon/Harman family in Hawkins Co. during those census years. They had several children. The Harmons lived next to Susan or Judith Smith on both censuses, and next to Alfred Bailey in 1830. There are numerous Harmons in neighboring Greene Co., TN during 1840 and 1850 at least. I'd say David was somehow related to these. Interactive map of TN: http://www.familyhistory101.com/maps/tn_cf.html Also, there is a Henry Harmon in 1840 neighboring Grainger Co., TN, b. 1780-1790, possibly a brother of David. Lewis Harmon of Grainger is the other possible relative, b. 1800-1810, possibly a son of Henry. Adam Harmon b. 1785 of neighboring Washington Co., TN (1840 census) may be a brother of David. And, Ira Harmon of the same county, possibly Adam's son. I would look for a will for David Harmon in Hawkins Co. I would also look for any Smith wills in Hawkins Co., of the period 1800-1860, in case Sarah Harmon is mentioned in one. There is a good possibility that those wills exist if they weren't destroyed during the Civil War when courthouses were burned. Patricia Treadwell at Mrwonderful @bledsoe.net is a volunteer willing to do look-ups of will abstracts. I have not verified her e-mail address, but I hope it is current.

You might find some birth and death dates which will help narrow down your search. For example: http://genforum.genealogy.com/harmon/messages/6441.html.
