The slashes in columns 11 and 12 mean William's parents were foreign born, which is untrue.
George's middle initial is definitely, "E," but in all other records I've seen where he has a middle initial, it's an "L."

This enumerator's capital P's are indistinguishable from his capital I's. Mary's "condition" was hard to read; if it actually is "In," it may stand for "Insane" (see legend for 1885 census), but be aware that, back then, "insane" was a blanket term for afflictions we would not, today, remotely consider insanity (e.g., depression, alcoholism, senility, retardation, etc.).

Both of William's parents were born in NY. Maria's father was born in VT, but her mother was born in NY. Charles is William's son from his prior marriage to Mary BEDFORD, who was born in NY, not VT. Ashley HORSINGTON is Maria's son from her prior marriage to L.P. HOISINGTON, making him William's stepson, who may or may not have been legally adopted. The birthplaces of Ashley's parents are reversed; his father was born in VT and his mother in NY; Ashley may have been born in IA, not WI.
