Biography
Pleasant was born about 1806. Pleasant Blevins ... He passed away about 1880. 1850 - Whitley county, Whitley, Kentucky
Delilah (Blevins) King was born on Jan. 4, 1828 in Wayne Co., Kentucky. She was the daughter of Pleasant Blevins (1806-aft 1880) and Elizabeth Abbott (1810-abt 1872 ?). She was not Cherokee as some family trees claim.
Delilah's father Pleasant was born in 1806 in Wayne Co., Kentucky. The county had been created just a few years earlier (1800) from Pulaski and Cumberland Counties.
The year and place of Pleasant's death is uncertain. The 1880 US Census shows that at the age of 76 he was living in Buncombe, Pulaski Co., KY so Pleasant probably died between 1880-1900. There is a Buncombe Baptist Church and cemetery located just south of Eubank, Pulaski Co., KY.
