Hocutt:  On 22 Sep 1862, at the age of 20, Stephen H. Hocutt enlisted in the Confederat Army in Winchester, VA.  He enlisted as a Private in Company C, 24th Infantry Regiment North Carolina.  He was killed Jun 1864 at Petersburg, Dinwiddie, VA.         Stephen married Elizabeth Bailey on 11 Jul 1860 two years before enlisting.                                             The 1870 Census finds Henderson & Gillie Hocutt and 8 of his children living with his son Zachariah Urias Hocut and his family in the Springfield Township of Nash County, NC.  Zach had married Jane E. Hollimon (transcribes on the Census originally as "James") on 21 Mar 1869 in Johnston County, NC, and the Census shows them with a daughter Sarah E. (age 6 months).   I had seen this Census previously and had decided it wasn't Henderson.  His age is listed incorrectly and someone transcribed the name below his as "Suelly" instead of Gillie.   Henderson and Gillie have 8 of his/their children living with them.  The children listed on p. 45 of the Nash County Census were: [Children by Henderson Hocutt and Rebecca Tisdale] Samuel (age 22), Polly (age 19 - even though on the Census it looks like "40"), Thomas (age 16 - listed on the Census as 18) and Lou Ella (name written as "Louoler" on the Census, age 15).     [Children by Henderson Hocutt and Gillie Dodd] J. C. R. (actually John Calvin Breckenrige - age 10), Creacy Jane (age 8), Robert E. Lee (age 5) and Rebecca (age 3).   Even though Zach is listed first on the Census, indicating that he is the head of the family, the only Real Estate Value is assigned only to Henderson (although it has been listed beside of Gillie's name).  Henderson and Gillie's Real Estate Value is $1300 and their Personal Estate is valued at $1200.  This is a major difference from their 1860 Estate Value in Nash County, NC, of over $10,000.   1870 Nash County, NC, Census   Name Age Sex Race Trade Estate Value Birth Can't Read Last First Real Estate Personal Estate Hocut Zach 23 M W Farmer   $185 NC X ----- Janie E. 19 F W House Keeper     NC   ----- Sarah E. 6/12 F W       NC   ----- Henderson 32 M W Farmer     NC   ----- Guilly 34 F W House Keeper $1300 $1200 NC   ----- Samuel 22 M W Miller     NC   ----- Polly 40 F W House Keeper     NC   ----- Thomas 18 M W At Home     NC   ----- Louoler 15 F W "     NC   ----- J.C.R. 10 M W "     NC   ----- Creacy 8 F W "     NC   ----- Robert L. 5 F W "     NC   ----- Rebecca 3 F W "     NC             Even though Henderson is listed as a "Farmer" on the 1860 and 1870 Census, he accepted the "call" and eventually became a preacher.  He was the founder of the Antioch Baptist Church near Emit, North Carolina and also organized Cornith Baptist Church (of which he was a pastor).  He was also a member of the White Stone Masonic Lodge.       The 1880 Johnston County, NC, Census shows the Henderson family living in O'Neals Township.  Hender's age is listed as 60 and Gillie is 45.  Children still living with the family are Brechenridge, Robert, Rebecca, William and Nellie.  Reecca's age was 12.  The Census shows that all the children attended school (except Nellie) during the year, but for some reason Rebecca couldn't write (even though she could read).  The Census also shows that Henderson suffered from Asthma.   1880 Johnston County, NC, Census   Name Race Sex Age Relation S M W Trade Health School Can't Write Birth Last First Hocutt Henderson W M 60   M Farmer Asthma     NC ----- Gilly W F 45 Wife M Keeping House       NC ----- Breckenrige W M 19 Son S Works on Farm   X   NC ----- Robert W M 15 Son S Works on Farm   X   NC ----- Rebecca W F 12 Daughter S     X X NC ----- William W M 9 Son S     X   NC ----- Nellie W F 7 Daughter S         NC       Gillie Dodd Hocutt       Rev.
