Bob,
Not related but found some info that might help. Is it possible Charles' middle
initial "N" stands for Newton?? The reason I ask, is that I did find a family
with a son the same age as Charles, but he is listed as "Newton" in 1860 &
1870 Brown Co., IN census. In 1880 he is listed as Charles N. Ferguson in the Jesse
Sample household. Also in 1900 Charles states his father was born in VA & his mother
was born in KY. The family I found with Newton living with them, father is born in VA and
mother is born in KY.
Here is the info I found:
