Some major things seem to have happened to Henderson and Gillie
between 1860 and 1870. To begin with, he lost 2 sons in
the Civil War. The family had a Real Estate and Personal
Estate value in 1860 of over $10,000 (which was a LOT for that
time), but by 1870 it was $2500. |

Elisha Ruffin Hocutt: On 15 May 1861, at the age of
20, Elisha Ruffin Hocutt enlisted in the Confederate Army in
Johnston County, NC. He enlisted as a Private in Company
C, 24th Infantry Regiment North Carolina. He was killed on
19 Apr 1864 at Plymouth, NC. |
|
|
|
Stephen H. 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. |

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. |
