Have you looked for relatives on the other side of the family? They may be able to provide some insight into who his parents were...

Chip...I've done as much as I can via internet & family.The only thing I haven't done is make a trip to Breathitt County library.But yeah I've been searching for 10 years believe it or not.I think my only recourse will be to actually go to Breathitt,I was there several years ago but didn't get to the library.

@Ken Jones... I suppose we could continue this for a while, but have you looked for his marriage record? Many times the parents names were also listed. I'm just not sure how much research you've done, but have you also looked for an obituary or news story about the hunting accident?

Chip...yeah I've seen a few in census but not knowing anything about Joshua makes it hard to pick him out. I have no parentage on him,no birth date,place of birth,nothing,zilch. Family lore says he was killed between 1894 & 1900 in a hunting accident in possibly Breathitt County,Ky. His youngest son was born 1894.Like I say,it's a mystery and a brick wall.

@Ken Jones... have you searched all census records for Kentucky? I can find a few Joshua Jones' listed that were born in Kentucky around 1865. Have you looked at any of these listings?

Chip...my source is my grandmother,she was also Susanna's niece.My grandparents were first cousins. Joshua is named on their marriage license. Also Joshua is named on my grandfathers death certificate as well as family info handed down.I assume and am guessing Joshua may have went by another name,but I've never found census info on Susanna living with anyone else (Besides Benjamin Clemons after the death of Joshua)

@Ken Jones... what is your source of information for Joshua Jones? How do you know he was married to Susanna Back?

@Laurie Jones... What year did William Henry Jones leave Wales and what type of record are you referencing for his birth date and location?

I'm stuck at William Henry Jones. He was born in 14 May 1878 in Bethesda, North Wales. He married Jane Ellen Lewis (nee Griffiths) on 22 Mar 1909. Died 21 Mar 1918 in Emporia, Kansas. His widow and children moved in Canada a few years later. I was able to get a copy of his obit and it lists his father as Grififth Jones who was from Ty Newydd, Llanffewin, Anglesey, Wales. It also listed a brother Richard Griffth Jones who was born in 14 Mar 1874 in Bethesda Wales and died 11 Mar 1959 in Lebo Kansas. Richard was married to Mary Thomas and they had 7 children. William had a sister Alice who was married to Evan Hughes. Not sure if there was another sister.

If you need any information on the Jones family that started in Eastern Virginia let me know. I literally have the book. And am in the process of expanding it.
