Who was Ben?

I don't know that anyone really knows where my Dad's Uncle Ben was born. The approval card lists him as being born offshore of Yokohama and the 1930 census has him born in Japan. Other sources list Indonesia or the South China Sea as his birthplace. This to me is not a problem that needs to be hashed over. Obviously the earliest references are probably the most accurate. Perhaps someone got confused later but I am sure that the truth is known even if the knowers of it are no longer living to explain the discrepancy. Thus, there is no reason for me to be troubled regarding this insignificant point.
