person submitted the following about Pleasant. First wife Annie married
in app. 1827. Had 17 children born between 1828 and 1849 in AL. Joined
8th inf, Co. K from Tenn. during Civil War. Went to war with Louis M.
Cason. Neither man returned home to wife. BUT Pleasant married Cason's
wife Adaline! She had three children by Cason, then she had four
children with Pleasant. Their daughter Sarah married my husband's ggf.
Pleasant is buried at the Murphree Cemetary in Evant, Hamilton Co. and
Adaline is buried in Regency Cem in Mills County Tx.
Descendants
of Pleasant James say they were told he said he was related to Jesse
James. The historical record shows that Jesse James visited Pleasant
James in two different states. There is no known record proving the
relationship and the Jesse James descendants have refused to allow a DNA
test to clear it up.
