While John "Jack"
Hoxit and his presumed sister Rebecca "Granny
Beck" both died in Jackson County, NC, it is
believed that they were born in present day
Transylvania County, North Carolina as the
children or grandchildren of Samuel or Walter
Hogshead/Hogsed. Rebecca is found in the
Catheys Creek area in census
records.
This pension
application provides an important link in the
continuing search for the parents of Jack and
Rebecca in that it contains both the Hogsed and
Hoxit spellings in the same
document.
