Eleanor Traywick

Notes:

Eleanor married Edward Hocutt, who bought land in Wake County, NC just after his father-in-law Robert Trawick died. September 1778 Edward Hockett entered 150 acres of land lying on the south side of Little River and the south side of Buffalo Creek, entry #566. In the 1790 census of Edward Hocut we are probably far off in in calculating his age and that of his wife, and in estimating the date of their marriage. "3 free white males 16 years and upwards including heads of families, 4 free white males under 16 years, 6 free white females including heads of families."

By checking the 1800 Wake County, NC census, we find that something there is either misinformation, or we do not know all the facts. Edward Hocut "Males, 4 0-10; 1 16-26; 1 26-45; females, 1 1-10 years, 1 26-45 years."

Edward Hocutt made the following conveyances of land, as recorded in Wake County, NC deed books:

12 Feb 1785 Edward Hocut of Wake Co to William Hocutt of Johnston Co, land partly in Wake and partly in Johnston, on Buffalo Creek; 150 acres conveyed to Edward by Lodowick Alford, and now conveyed to Edward's brother, William. Book F, pg 119.
