Hi and welcome to Rootschat

George was the illegitimate son of Drusilla Jones.  It wasn't unheard of for illegitimate children to make up a fathers name when they married so they appeared "respectable"

Per IGI at www.familysearch.org

Many thanks CaroleW, this info will be a great help.
I had viewed the 1861 census info but did not make the connection.
