      Notes:

      Happy might be a nickname for Keren Happuch, a girls name somewhat popular at the time.

      KEREN-HAPPUCH - ker'-en-hap'-uk, ke'-ren-hap'-uk (qeren happukh, "horn of antimony," i.e. beautifier; Septuagint Amaltheias keras): The 3rd daughter of Job (Job 42:14), born after his restoration from affliction. Antimony, producing a brilliant black, was used among the Orientals for coloring the edges of the eyelids, making the eyes large and lustrous?ce, the suggestiveness of this name of an article of the ladies' toilet, a little horn or receptacle for the eye-paint.

      The name "Happy" may also be a nickname for Happuck, a surname found about that time in Virginia where Sarah, Randolph and Happy were born.

      Notes:

      In the 1850 census for North Carolina, there is a Sarah Westbrook with children Robert and Cornelia of the expected ages. She is living next door to Randolph and Happy Westbrook. Also in that household is a Nancy Westbrook.
