Wellington
1880 April - born, Nebraska
1880 census - with parents in Webster Co, Nebraska
1880-1900 - died
In 1900 Martha said she had only two children living, so Wellington must have died before then.
Unknown
1880-1900 born & died
In 1900, Martha said she had 5 children, 2 living. Lulu and Thomas were the living ones.
Actually, the ones who died might be Wellington and Lafayette and then one of her children by her first marriage, William and Mary R Knapp - so maybe there was not one born between 1880-1900. But if she was counting the Knapps, then there should have been 6 children altogether.
Another possibility is that they had an earlier child (before Lafayette) who died. Woodland Cemetery in Des Moines, Iowa (they were married in Des Moines in August) has this listing:

In 1910, Martha said she had 7 children, 2 living. Thomas and Lulu were living. Wellington, Lafayette, unknown child from Des Moines, George William Knapp, Mary R Knapp could be the dead ones. It is fairly unlikely that a child was born between 1900-1910 when Martha was in her 50s.
