All Hocutts should look into Hockett which camne from Hoggatt, reportedly three brothers from England.(The English Hocketts are not related to American Hocketts.)Philip Hoggatt m. Mary Glendennigs.They were in Pennsylvania then moved on down around High Point, NC.They were Quakers and you can follow the family in Hinshaw's Enclyclopedia of Quakers in most libraries. Quakers kept very good records.Some married out of unity and was kicked out of the meetinghouse.Some of those I suspect are some of the Hocutts.Also slavery was a dividing factor within the family. I think an Anthony Hoggatt left and went south.Of all the researchers all these years, no one has gotten farther back than Philip and Mary.They are buried in NC and their log cabin is in High Point. Good luck!
