What evidence is given for linking this William Jones as the son of the rector of St Nicholas Acon? (The preceding generations on this tree are also a mess & unsupported. Liz shifflett has already added a source from the same register to Rev. John Jones’ profile, showing that the mother of the rector was named Rachell; which is probably why the rector had a daughter called Rachell.) William A.Jones seems to be of unknown origin & should probably be detached from the rector & his wife.
