NOTE - Because of the different spelling of the surname, the different residential location of Kentucky instead of Indiana, and the lack of the wife being present, I am not sure this is the correct person although it certainly seems as if it is. William and Margaret are not found elsewhere in the 1910 census and there is no reason why William would have left Indiana and returned to his home state of Kentucky unless they were experiencing marital difficulties and were temporarily separated.
