Note: NI2391 -----------------------------------------------------
It has been incorrectly reported by a few genealogy researchers that Pleasant Palmer Proffitt was married to a Louisa Dougherty (Darty, Daugherty), born 1842, daughter of Andrew Jackson Dougherty. There are simply no facts to support this. A marriage certificate was issued for Pleasant Palmer Proffit and Louisa Forrester on September 13, 1862. It was not returned signed but that is not unusual during that day and time. The marriage is listed in the Johnson County, Tennessee marriage records. Pleasant Proffitt's first child, Sara Alice Proffitt, was born July 1863. There was scant time between the September 13, 1862 marriage certificate date and the July birth of Sara Allice for Pleasant to have ended his relationship with Louisa Forrester, courted, and have married someone else. The 1880 census for Johnson County, Tennessee listed Pleasant Proffit's wife as Aethia L. along with their correct children. The 1900 census for Johnson County listed Pleasant Proffit's wife as Altha L. with some of their children still living at the home. Pleasant and Louisa Proffitt were listed in the Johnson County 1910 Census, ED127, Sheet 1, with Corda, Julia and two granddaughters. (Altea) Louisa (Forrester) Proffitt died May 19, 1934 in Civil District #4, Johnson County, Tennessee. Her death certificate says she was the widow of Pless Proffitt. Her age was given as 96. This age agrees with the birthday for Altea Louisa Forrester who was born in March 1838. Louisa was buried in the Tester Cemetery on May 20, 1934. Her death certificate also stated that she was born in NC but did not list her parents. All of these facts point to Altea Louisa Forrester as the wife of Pleasant Palmer Proffitt.
