Here is a copy of the DeKalb, AL census of 1860 on the Jones family.I copied and pasted it from Ancestry.com . The "RECORD" seems to be incorrectly transcribed on the father's middle initial.
Name: William J Jones
Age in 1860: 26
Birth Year: abt 1834
Birthplace: South Carolina
Home in 1860: Division 2, De Kalb, Alabama
Gender: Male
Post Office: Lebanon
Value of real estate: View image
Household Members: Name Age
William J Jones 26
Josephine Jones 20
James F Jones 5
William T Jones 3
John H Jones 1
After looking at the actual census the father's name is William R. as you have shown - not William J. as the record shows which apparently is a transcription error as I mentioned above.
The son William's MI looks very much like a "T" (tee) as they have shown.
Hope this is helpful.
