This is just FYI. I'm not a Westbrook researcher, but the 1800 census for Sampson Co. NC has as heads of households Moses, William, James, Joseph and William Westbrook. The Sampson Co. will abstracts has wills for James Jr., dated 1816 which lists a Moses as son; and several other Westbrooks. I can share the abstracts if this looks promising.
