I found some dates on a web page for Elisha and he would have > been 11 years old if all the dates are correct, so I have my doubts about > Elisha being the father of Pleasant. Pleasant is known to have gone to > school at Nashville Medical School in Nashville TN to study dentistry. It > is also reported that his father was killed by Indians in Nashville. > Pleasant married Ann Ridley on Apr 05, 1834. He was born Mar 04, 1804 and > died Jul 18, 1873. Together they had 16 children that I am aware of. They > resided in Gibson Co TN. > I have found a Mark Mitchell in Nashville/ruthford co area but have no > true link at this time. Mark I believe was born Jan 19, 1756(undocumented > source) and died Apr 18, 1838(also undocumented) I also believe Mark's > father to be on Joab Mitchell and mother to be Mary Henderson, this info > comes from someone's research years ago, but no documentation remains as to > the source.
