This is Pleasant Vincent Rhea, son of John and Sally Rhea of Lincoln Co., TN.
He was born circa 1803 and died circa 1864 Washington Co., AR (probably
Fayetteville).

The following is from Goodspeed's 1889 History of Washington County, AR pg.
1009-1010:

Pleasant V. Rhea (deceased), one of the early settlers of this county, was
born in Lincoln County, Tenn., grew to manhood there, and there married Miss
Fannie B. White. They moved to Washington County, Arkansas in 1830 and here
Mr. Rhea followed the occupation of a blacksmith, and also taught school,
taking his pay in corn, pumpkins, etc. His family consisted of seven
children, three sons and four daughters. He was a member of the Baptist
Church and died at the age of 61 years. The mother is also a member of the
same church, and is now living at the advanced age of 88 years. Their eldest
son, William H., was born in Lincoln Co., TN in 1825, and came with his
parents to Washington County, Ark., where he learned the blacksmith trade.
