A number of people have mistaken me for others, since I have a very common name. I have assembled a list of possible alternative identities below. If you are looking for another William Jones, perhaps you will find him here:
I don’t write science fiction.
I have never run for Governor of California.
I am not a twin, nor do I make realistic carvings of fish.
Nor would I write or utter the phrase “I am allergic to free.”
And I am not this photographer, either.
I am not a chastity belt designer.
It is not I, but I do take public transportation.
I've never painted a carriage, either.
I was never Secretary of the Navy.
I do not have a home in Georgia.
And I did not serve in the Confederate Army.
I have no connection to Johnny Appleseed.
I did not write The Scholar Armed Against the Errors of the Times.
I cannot claim authorship of Quaker Campaigns in Peace and War, either.
Nor did I write this lovely book with a gold stamped binding.
These are not my paintings at the Tate Gallery.
I am not a member of the NZ Master Monumental Masons Association.
I suppose Sir William could be my most distinguished ancestor.
If that were the case, his father would be an ancestor, too.
And I was never mayor of Bootle.
Could the first Native American anthropologist be a relative?
This possible ancestor was executed on July 26, 1693.
Here is another nefarious character, this one a Canadian.
There are still more possibilities.
