  1. 1.  Eliza Ruth Pleasant was born on 23 Jun 1904 in Johnson County, , , Tennessee (daughter of Garfield Abraham Pleasant and Eliza J. Morley); died on 5 Jun 1975 in Johnson County, , , Tennessee; was buried in Happy Valley Memorial Park, , Carter County, Tennessee.

    Notes:

    Family lore says that Eliza Ruth Pleasant was the daughter of Garfield Pleasant and his first wife Eliza J. Morley. Further research is required to prove this. Eliza Ruth Pleasant would have been the third child of Garfield and Eliza J. Morley, and was born on 23 Jun 1904. Eliza J. Morley Pleasant died on 18 Aug 1904. Prior to the 1910 Johnson County census, Garfield married Ella O. Treadway. The 1910 census lists:
    Household 237
    Garfield Pleasant 28 TN
    Ella O. 28 TN
    Clarence E. 10 TN
    Maude O. 8 TN
    Arthur C. 2 TN
    Martha E. 1Mo TN

    Eliza Ruth is not listed here, but rather in the household of Garfield's father:

    Household 53
    William H. Pleasant 68 TN
    Martha 49 TN
    Blane H. 15 TN
    Walter B. 13 TN
    Nellie E. 12 TN
    Randall 7 TN
    Eliza R. 5 TN [Granddaughter]

    Eliza R. is also listed in William Pleasant's household in 1920:

    Household 125
    William H. Pleasant 78 TN VA PA
    Rondal 17 TN TN TN
    Lizzie 16 TN TN TN Granddaughter

    Garfield PLeasant's second wife, Ella O. Treadway died on 21 Jun 1918. He married his third wife, Eunice H. ____ prior to the 1920 census, which lists:

    Household 129
    Garfield A. Pleasant 38 TN TN TN
    Eunice H. 21 NC NC NC
    Maude O. 18 TN TN TN
    Arthur C. 14 "
    Eva M. 12 "
    Harry A. 3 "

    So, Eliza Ruth Pleasant is never listed as a member of Garfields household, but is listed as a granddaughter of William H. Pleasant.

    Reportedly, Garfield did not want the responsibility of raising a newborn child, and so Eliza Ruth Pleasant was raised by her grandparents. Hopefully, a birth record can be found which will prove this relationship.
