Thomas Pleasant McCune

THOMAS PLEASANT MCCUNE WAS THE SON OF PETER AND MARTHA (PATTY) PARSONS MCCUNE. HE WAS BORN APPROXIMATELY 1853-57. PETER WAS THE S/O DANIEL MCCUNE,WHO WAS THE S/O THE OLD PETER MCCUNE.

ACCORDING TO FAMILY, PLEASANT'S MOTHER'S NAME WAS RHODATH PARSONS. RHODATH OR PATTY, MAY HAVE BEEN A NICKNIME (POSSIBLY). THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND.

THE FATHER PETER IS NOT FOUND IN THIS CENSUS.

ACCORDING TO PLEASANT'S MARRIAGE LICENSE HE WAS BORN IN CALHOUN COUNTY, ACCORDING TO "ROANE COUNTY MARRIAGES " HE WAS BORN IN GILMER COUNTY. (THE COUNTY BOUNDARIES WERE CHANGING DURING THIS TIME)

HE WAS KNOWN OR REFERED TO AS PLEASANT, T.P. OR , PLEZ MCCUNE BY FAMILY MEMBERS. HIS FIRST MARRIAGE WAS TO HULDA GRAHAM ON OCT. 21,1870 (ROANE COUNTY MARRIAGES, PG 34). HE WAS 18,SHE WAS 39.

SOME SOURCES STATE SHE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF ISAAC AND MARGARET GRAHAM FORMERLY OF PIKE COUNTY, KY.

BUT I BELIEVE THAT GRAHAM IS THE NAME FROM HER 1ST MARRIAGE TO WILLIAM E. GRAHAM.

I BELIEVE SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF CHARLES AND CLARISSA (REALMS) DRAKE OF ROANE COUNTY.

LISTED IN THE "1880 CENSUS OF ROANE COUNTY"

T. P. MCCUNE AGE 26

HULDA GRAHAM 48

MORRIS GRAHAM 21

EDWARD GRAHAM 18

MARTHA GRAHAM 13

ACCORDING TO THE " INDEX AND REGISTER OF BIRTHS OF ROANE COUNTY ", IT LISTS THOS.P.AND HULDA MCCUNE GIVING BIRTH TO A MALE CHILD, JULY 29,1871. IT GIVES NO NAME, STATING ONLY STILLBORN.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS GIVEN TO MY MOTHER BY NOAMI (MCCUNE) MCINTOSH.

SHE SAID THAT PLEZ MARRIED MAUDE HONAKER'S GRAND MOTHER. SHE DID NOT KNOW HER NAME,BUT WHEN HE MARRIED HER, HE WAS VERY YOUNG AND HE LIED ABOUT HIS AGE ,HE LOOKED OLDER THAN HE REALLY WAS 16-17 YEARS OLD.AND THAT HE LEFT HER NOT LONG AFTER THEY MARRIED.BUT WHEN HE LEFT HER, SHE GAVE HIM A LANTERN AND SENT HIM ON HIS WAY,AND TOLD HIM SHE HOPED HE HAD A HOUSE FULL OF CHILDREN.

(AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE DID !)

ON JUNE 29, 1885 PLEASANT MARRIED, ELIZABETH P. (OR B.) ROSE. HE WAS 28, SHE WAS 17. ACCORDING TO "ROANE COUNTY MARRIAGES" (PG 83) SHE WAS BORN IN CLAY COUNTY,AND LIVED IN ROANE COUNTY AT THE TIME OF THEIR MARRIAGE. A. H. BAILEY WAS THE MINISTER AT THE HOME OF A. B. LOONEY.

ELIZABETH ROSE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF JOHN WESLEY AND LEVICY JUSTICE (BUTLER) ROSE OF CLAY COUNTY.

THE "1870 CENSUS OF CLAY COUNTY " SHOWS IN HENRY TOWNSHIP AS FOLLOWS:

JOHN W. ROSE..........34…… FARMER

LEVICY......................34.........HOUSE WIFE

ELIZABETH................2

LOUSIA BUTLER.....14

WILLIAM BUTLER 13… FARM WORKER

WILLIAM ALSO DIED YOUNG.THE CAUSE WAS UNKNOWN. PLEZ AND ELIZABETH, ALONG WITH ALL THE CHILDREN THAT DIED YOUNG ARE BURIED IN THE MCCUNE CEMETERY NEAR AMMA, ROANE COUNTY. ON THE HILL ABOVE THE OLD PRESS MCCUNE PLACE.

According to my father (Jack McCune) Grand Pa (Peter) had spoken of a time that while plez lived on big sandy that their drinking well went dry. They carried water from a spring in the hillside from behind (now Presently Wilson Carper's home). During this time is when all the girls got sick and died. My Grand mother Ella went to help care for the children during this time. We often wandered if something happened to the water while the well was drying up.

It was said that Plez always had a whiskey barrel in one of the rooms in his home for colds and toddies.The late "Maggie Burkhalter" told my parents that she could remember attending 6 of the children's funerals. Also the Late Mrs. Looney of Amma told of my great grand father. She said that they were well liked and a respectable family in the area. But did not have a lot of assets.
