Who were Tommy Doss' ancestors. How does he tie in. I did a little digging and found a few things such as his parents Thomas Arthur Doss and Thursey, but was unable in the short time I looked to find Thomas Arthur Doss' parents. Here is what I found.

I love listening to the "Sons of the Pioneers" so it was pretty neat to realize there was a Doss as was of the singers. I would love to found out who he goes through.
