In 1862, his house was on the north side of Main St. between the house of his parents to the west and the Westmorland Bank to the east. He was “bank cashier” (the title for bank manager) of the Bank of Westmorland, at the corner of Main and Church St. in Moncton which failed in 1867.81 Oliver Jones the bank’s owner was his father’s cousin.
He lived first in Moncton, then in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, then New York, then England and finally New York again.83
Greta Grant thought he was a lawyer like his brother but this doesn’t seem to be the case.60 In 1868 land deeds in Aug. and Sept. establish them living in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. In 1869 they moved to New York City.

from the Moncton Transcript Monday, April 7, 1913:
“W.C. Jones
On Sunday morning Mr. Fred C. Jones received a telegram announcing the death at New York of his half brother, Mr. W.C. Jones, a former resident of this city. Deceased was about 70 years of age, and was a son of the late Abner Jones of this city. He leaves a wife, three sons, two daughters, and a number of sisters and brothers. The late Charles Jones, of Moncton, was a brother of the deceased, and Mrs. Geo. H. Trueman, of Weldon street, is a sister of Mrs. Jones. The late Mr. Jones was born in Moncton but about forty years ago he went to Surrey County, England, after spending some time in New Glasgow. He lived in England till about a year ago, when he went to New York, remaining there up to the time of his death. Mr. Jones was at one time manager of the old Westmorland Bank here.”
