Notes:

There was a child, Marcellus Moss living with William Stanley Jones and Cornelia Falconis Westbrok in the 1870 census. According to Laura B. Grover:

"The child Marcellus was the illegitimate son of my great grandfather, Robert Henry Westbrook. He was not married at the time of the boy’s birth and the Jones family took Marcellus to raise because Cornelia was Robert Henry’s sister. I found documentation to this effect in the probate records of William S. Jones in NC a couple of years ago when I went to the archives to do research. Marcellus apparently only lived with Cornelia and William. I believe his mother was a Morris. There was no bastardy bond required to be filed because the child was not taking money or support from the parish. He eventually married and had children. I looked at his death certificate and it does not give the name of his mother or father. Says unknown in both places."
