Notes:

Census:

Houston, J. Dunn Jr. son Dec 1878 21 TX MS TX
Houston, Robert A son Oct 1883 16 TX MS TX
Willie Annie dau Dec 1889 10 TX MS TX
note: block for marital status shows Sally (S.J.) Wd, faded ink, then a darker "S" written on top of it.

several discrepancies here - but names and dates for occupants match up; so it's obviously the same family, but the discrepancies are curious.
note: block for number children born says 3 and 3 living, again, faded in, and in darker ink says 8 births, 1 living. She has 3 living in the census. So...
note: 1880 census Sally states her parents were born in Texas. This census she says Kentucky.
note: J. Dunn "Jr." - father's name was Robert A. and Robert A is listed right below J. Dunn's name - looks like they just wrote "Jr" by the wrong name.
note: J. Dunn b.d. is same as in other records, but in other census records states parents born in Texas. Here he states his father born in MS. 1880 census Robert states he was born in Texas.
note: James Dunn is also shown in 1900 census in San Antonio on June 4, just a few days prior to this census, June 25. He was listed as a lodger with a family who lived next door to Addie. Must have gone back to his mother's in the interim and got counted twice.
