Issue of 6 JOHN WOODSON3 (Robert,2 John1) and Judith Tarleton.

VIII 28 Elizabeth,4 born about 1708, in Henrico county, Virginia. She married Joseph Pleasants, of Pickanockie, who was a son of John Pleasants, who emigrated from Norwich, England, in 1665, to Virginia, settling at Curles on James River, in 1668. He died there May 12, 1698, aged 54 years. The name Pleasants is a no less prominent one in Virginia and the southern and western states than that of Woodson. A majority of the family until the last generation have lived in the gentle tenets of the Society of Friends. The collateral connections of Randolph, Bates, Atkinson, Webster, Brooke, etc., have reflected honor on the lineage. (R. A. Brock, Pres., Va. Historical Society.) It is believed that 28 Elizabeth Woodson4 was the second wife of Joseph Pleasants. There was no issue to this marriage. By his first wife, whose name was Martha Cocke, he had probably, several children, one of whom was John Pleasants3 of Pickanockie, who married 81 Susannah Woodson.6
