I am seeking any additional information that you can add to these
families especially the parents/siblings of Pleasant Webb. Thanks a million.
============================================================
Pleasant (Plesent) WEBB was born about ca 1760. His son, Elias, said that
his father, Pleasant was born in Ireland (not substantiated). He died
between 1830 and 1840 in Ohio, USA. Around 1800 Pleasant and family came in
to the Ohio valley from Rutherford County, North Carolina. In 1803 (reported
to be 45 years old) he was in Scioto County, Ohio and was said to be a
notorious character. Supposedly, he tried to break up a fight between James
Bradley and the wife and children of James Quire (Squires). He ended up
shooting Mr. Quire (Squires). After this incident at the Licks, he was
driven out of that area. He is also said to have been a Tory during the
Revolutionary War. Pleasant was in GreenupCounty, Kentucky in 1820 and in
Lawrence County, Ohio in 1830, he did not appear in the 1840 census, so it
is believed he died between 1830-1840. Pleasant (Plesent) WEBB and Unknown
(Margaret BLACKWELL?) had the following children: James WEBB (1786), Elias
WEBB (1788), Thomas Hanley WEBB (1795), Aden WEBB (1797), Temperance WEBB
(1799), William WEBB (1801), Margaret WEBB (1806), Sarah (Sally) WEBB
(1809), and Baker WEBB (1811).
