One of my ancestral surnames I am researching is
Hogshead. Mary “Polly” Hogshead
(1800-aft 1857}, a Cherokee Native American, was married to Jacob “Jake”
Trammell. She drowned in the Little
Tennessee River, in Franklin, Macon County, NC., while tending her fish traps. Her parents were Walter Hogshead, Jr. and
Rebecca Ashworth.
I have wondered if you pronounce the surname as “Hog’s Head”
or “Hog Shed”?
This morning on THE TODAY SHOW Sally Hogshead (pronounced “Hog’s
Head” gave a review, sort of, of yesterday’s commercials on the Superbowl.
Mystery solved!
