Pleasant Vincent Uriah Jackson Glenn Rhea is my GG Grandfather as well. I have
heard from several people on the net that Our PV is not the son of John. However
I find it very hard to believe that there are TWO people with this same name.
Our PV did die in Hood County and is buried there. PV was married to Mary
Elizabeth Fannon on November 24, 1845 in Flat Creek Bedford Tenn. He owned and
ran a black smith shop on what is now the Square. Can anyone out there prove
that these two men were not the same. Is there proof that one was the son of
John and one was not! I would like some proof if there is any. Can any one
explain how such a unusual long name came about.

Thanks,
LaNelda Gordon
