Electrical – Single Electrical Outlet in home not working

electricalreceptacle

I have been replacing all the electrical outlets and light switches in my home. In one bedroom, one of the outlets stopped working after replacing all of the outlets in the room. I even tried several brand new outlets just to make sure I didn't have defective ones. I have checked every single outlet in the house, and they all work. I have tried every switch in the house to see if for some strange reason that was the cause. This particular outlet should be downline from a GFCI plug that I installed, the GFCI is not tripped, and every outlet down the line works. I have an old fuse box, and none of the fuses are burnt out. Any suggestions are much appreciated. I am not an electrician, just a DIYer.

Thank you

I found the solution guys!! I traced the wiring of that outlet to the basement, and it isn't hooked up to anything. Hahaha. I don't understand why the outlet is even there if it isn't hooked to anything, but now I can rest easy knowing that my house won't burn down. Thanks for the help and the suggestions.
