Book 5, Page 135
Dated 16 January 1773, recorded 25 January 1773
Robert Pleasants, executor of his late father John Pleasants of Henrico County, surviving partner 
of his late brother John Pleasants of Cumberland County, both deceased, sold to Thomas Morgan of 
Cumberland for the sum of 30 pounds, acknowledged land sold to him at public sale by John 
Pleasants on 9 March 1771, resulting from a mortgage made to the said John Pleasants, surviving 
partner of John Pleasants, Jr., (then deceased), by William Davis the elder, to secure a debt 
due from William Davis, Jr.  But, since John Pleasants of Henrico died before a deed could be 
duly executed, Robert Pleasants as executor and heir-at-law executed a deed for about 50 acres 
bounded by the lands of Elizabeth Davis, Charles Woodson, and Henry Macon.  Witnesses were 
James Pleasants, Charles Woodson, Jr., Francis Harris, and Edmund Toney (his mark).
