According to Jabez Doss, writing in 1907: "Among the children, besides my Grandmother [Lydia Ann Doss], of These old patriots [Azariah Doss and Lydia (Ayers) Doss] were John, James, Gabrel, Azariah and Geo. Washington [Doss]."

Muhlenberg County, Kentucky Abstracts of Wills and Administrations, Marian G. Hammers, 1968. "The nephew, Bushrod Washington Doss, was the son of John A. Doss. This proves this John A. Doss is the brother of Azariah Doss Jr., and they are proven to be the sons of Azariah and Lydia (Ayres) Doss."

Tax records for Monroe County, Kentucky reveal that John A. Doss was a resident there during the time when he married his first unidentified wife. The marriage records of Monroe County were burned, making the process of locating this wife's name extremely difficult.
