Perplexed~When Did Tobias Huneycutt Die?

Tobias Huneycutt was born in 1824, a son of Mark I. Huneycutt and his wife, Charity Drye. He was their first born of eight children, five sons and three daughters. 

Tobias married Elizabeth Mariam “Mary Ann” Huneycutt, daughter of Andrew Jackson Huneycutt and Mary Ann Crayton on 7 Nov 1852.

On January 1st, 1864, Tobias enlisted into Capt. Snead's Company (Local Defense) North Carolina; Formerly Company C, Salisbury Prison Guard Battalion
(also known as Freeman's Battalion, Infantry), Confederate.

On 23 August 1864, Tobias Huneycutt is reported to have died from remit[tent] fever.”
 



Remarks: Rem Fever Aug. 23, 1864
was discharged from Hospital  and then
Obtained leave of absence to go home
where he relapsed and died on Aug. 23
His death was not reported in the report
for that month.
O. F. Taylor




But, did he really die or was this a hoax to avoid the war?

In 1870, Tobias and his wife Elizabeth can be found in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
 


Another potential indicator of Tobias’ survival of the Civil War is the birth of his youngest daughter, Tabitha Huneycutt, in 1869. 

If he did survive the civil war; when did he really die? Is the 26 June 1874 his actual death date; if so why does so many individuals have this date listed but none of them can give you a source for the date?
