John Pleasants, II is actually the fourth to be given this name from his line in England. It's origin comes from John Pleasants, Ist (1588-1640); then John2, II (1618-death unk), then John3, III (1644-1698) aka John, I in America and aka John the Immigrant. This has confused many. This is an attempt to clear up that confusion. John Pleasants, II (aka IV, from his line in England) married Dorothy Carey, dau. of Thomas and Ann (Milner) Carey. They are the parents of (there may be more):

to me
Comments (John2 Pleasants b. Est 1670 Henrico County, Virginia d. Yes, date unknown): Do you have proof that Alice Pleasants who m. Sylvester Proffitt is a daughter of John? I have looked for this for a long time.
Thanks, Debbie
Record on Ancestry:
Thank you. These documents are not source records and cannot be verified. I have spent many hours in the Quaker records, and there is no Alice Pleasants to be found. Sylvester was a Jacobite, so Alice should have disallowed from the Quaker faith. There is no mention of her in any will, deed or otherwise that names her as a Pleasants. Before my mother died she really wanted to join the Jamestown Society and this was the only probable line we found and just have no proof.
Appreciate your reply. Will keep looking forever I am afraid. Kind regards, Debbie DeHart
