I know I don't know enough about Wikipedia's editing standards to do it myself, but there is much improvement to be made to this article, just given what is on Wikipedia already, in addition to reliable sources (e.g. https://www.womenhistoryblog.com/2009/10/mary-mason-jones.html). He was related to Edith Wharton (uncle or great-uncle?), and probably a huge part of the inspiration for The Age of Innocence. Read the book, or even the wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age_of_Innocence) and the similarities are clear.

He was a French Count (his father was a Baron), as well as a brother-in-law to another Count (both French). Reading a contemporaneous obituary from NYC on finadagrave[dot]com, we learn that he married Mary Mason Jones, the daughter of Mary Carre' Mason Jones and Isaac Jones (president of The Chemical Bank, '39-'44). Mason Renshaw Jones was Count de Trobriand's brother-in-law and Countess Burnett Stears de Maleissye (of Brest) was his sister-in-law. I'm not sure what a skilled editor can do with this information, but there is significant confusion simply because of the similar names between generations and missing info because both the American-born Countesses died in France (making their info difficult to ascertain.
