Lydia is said to be born in Atchison, Atchison Co., KS, but the records make it appear more likely the children were born in Wayne Twp., Doniphan Co., KS.

I can't figure Winnie's placement if she's their daughter, especially as the birthplaces of her parents don't jibe with the birthplaces of our subjects.  Is she adopted?  Or is both her placement and the birthplaces  enumerator error?  Listed next to Napoleon's father, T.J. DRUMMOND (æ 59, b. KY) and his wife, Nancy J. (æ 49, b. IN).
