Tam... I really don't know. I would say that Pleasant was definitely one of Peter Blankenship's grandchildren. He was an orphan, so his parent (maybe an unknown daughter of Peter) had died. Too bad they didn't keep death records back then and this bunch was too poor to leave any possessions in a will. Don't guess we'll ever know for sure.
