  Gender	Female
  Death	5 Jun 1975	Johnson County, , , Tennessee
  Burial	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.
