Faithy Pleasant was the mother of my great-great-gandfather. She was apparently married to a Job HOlloway in 1812 and then to John F. Roach(My Great-Great-grandfather according to the records on Ancestry. They had a number of children. Sammuel Cuey Roach was my great-grandfather and we were told that he was 1/2 Native American. However, Neither Sammuel or My grandfather (John Henderson Roach) would talk about it and even denied it.
I have sent off for a DNA test. Has anyone in the Pleasant family ever heard of Faithy Pleasant being attacked by indians and lived to tell about it? We have a photo of her when she was very old, she is wearing a dolie on her head which is suppose to be covering a bald spot, left from the attack. Faithy is Sammuel Cuey Roach's mother. My family is just wants to verify what we have been told all our lives!
