Charles B. Ferguson

As shown in the above census records there is conflicting data as to his place of birth. In 1920 it is shown as Kentucky but in 1910 it is shown as Iowa. Likewise with his parents, in 1920 they are shown as Scotland but in 1910 as Kentucky. The Charles Ferguson in these census records is a likely candidate for Fred W. Ferguson's father.
