The Pleasants in my family came from Tennessee to Arkansas. There weren't many, if any, Quakers there either.

I have seven different spellings for one branch of my family. A name that has fascinated me in western Arkansas is the name Pleasant for a male. I have been told it is a "Quaker" name, but I am unaware of many if any Quakers in the Scott/Logan County area.
