Well if what my family has told me about my great-great-great grandfather is true then, the Atchison family was split between North and South. The South siding family spelt their name Atchison while the North side spelt it Atchisson. His ancestors were indentured servants from Northern Ireland who came to America in the 1760's and even were part of the American Revolution.

David Rice Atchison. Senator Atchison did serve as President and did sleep through his term. James K. Polk's term expired on Saturday March 3, 1849. The President-elect, Zachary Taylor did not want to be inaugurated on a Sunday, he preferred Monday, March 5. So the next person in line, since our country can not be without a president, was Atchison.
