Your setters are strange, which is why you may be seeing a problem.

First, consider whether you even need these setters - if so, they should take a List, not just a string:

set
{
    _subHead = value;
}

These lines:

newSec.subHead.Add("test string");

Are calling the getter and then call Add on the returned List - the setter is not invoked.
