Have u tried to get his death certificate? Or even go to Rising Sun and ask for his death
listing? I have gone there in the past and although they wont let u look yourself they
will look up names for you...They have it all on a computer. That should tell you his
fathers name if u notice in 1870 it says his father is of foriegn birth.
Could not find Oscar anywhere in 1860
In 1860 there was only 1 Jones family that came close to matching them and still no Oscar
but notice that there is a Phillip Barker living with them..maybe a possible father for
Oscar (if this is them)
