    1. The name Pleasant

    3. Would anyone know why the name Pleasant pops up in various family lines in Missouri? Is it a surname or just an attribute that is awarded to some via their name? Thank you for your thoughts. Frances

    3. As I recall from my readings on VA families, there was a family of that name very prominent in the state early on. I have just checked a l905 history of Culpepper/Orange Co's and found the name twice there.

    3. The name of Pleasant was the first name of my husbands great grandfather and his grandfather's name was Walter Pleasant McCann. They came from Ky and settled in Paris Missouri. If you see the name let me know.

A Thomas Bybee, supposedly a French Huguenot, came to VA in the summer of 1700 with his family. He had a son, John Bybee, Sr., b. abt 1670; d. 1729 in Goochland Co., VA. His son, John Bybee, Jr. m. Elizabeth McCann in 1763, dau. of Neely McCann. John Jr. had a brother, Pleasant Bybee, b. 1758; d.16 Jul. 1835; m. 3 sep. 1789. Mildred Priddy. He enlisted in Capt. Kendall's 9th VA Regiment in 1778 in Fluvanna Co., VA and received a pension dated 27 May 1818 (#18687). The DAR will give you lots of additional info. After his death, on 23 Nov. 1840, Mildred, applied for a widow's pension from Clark Co., KY. She stated that she was 81 and a widow of Pleasant Bybee. You can find Pleasant Bybee (Bibee) in 1810 census of Fluvanna Co., VA and then other Pleasant's in KY, TN, and MO. The given name was used over and over by his descendants. Clark Blake --

    3. I have no idea of the origin, but I had an uncle, Pleasant Turner, who was from the Boone Co. Turners. I always thought it a bit unusual, especially for a man.
