Tracey,

This thread is a few years old and I don't know how much information you've gotten about your Pleasants family line since you posted this, but I have a lot of information to share if you're still interested. I've been researching this line for 20+ years. I've also been in touch with another descendant of John Randolph Pleasants/ William Giles Pleasants/William Gafford Pleasants who is probably related to you. Please let me know if you're still interested. I'd love to help
