Susanna simply doesn't work for the female having lived only 1 day.      Census day was 01 June and enumeration should have described the situation on that day but this one seems to have been somewhat later, after the 11 July birth of daughter Susanna.

Marriage*

He married Clarissa Hamilton, daughter of Dr. Washington Hamilton and Clarissa Bartlett, between 1840 and 1845. She appears to be living with her parents in the 1840 census, though husband Dwight could be the unknown male 20-29 yo living with them. She & Dwight had a son Herbert D who was born ca 1856 based on his marriage to Martha Elizabeth Dickens 03 Jul 1895 in South Amherst, MA at age 39 yo. These numbers all close enough to suggest Clarissa died within a year of having Herbert.2,1
