Pleasant was born in Crawford Co., IN in 1839. He joined the Civil War as a Union Volunteer in 1861 in Mound Ridge, KS. He served two enlistments in Co I and Co B, 10th KS Infantry Regiment mustering out in 1865 at Montgomery, AL.

He married Lucretia Washburn in McDonough Co., IL in 1868, and they had eleven children -- Josiah Henry, George Washington, James Thomas, Charles William, Walter Scott, Rose, Mary Elizabeth, Sarah Lucretia, Cora May, William John Sidney, and Elsie Rosetta.

He applied for and received a pension for disabilities he developed after serving in the Civil War. Census records list him as a House Carpenter and a Farmer.

He may have died in Jennings, Pawnee County, OK or Oilton, Creek County, OK, but is buried in the Jennings cemetery beside his wife, Lucretia who died in 1919. Two unmarked Bullington graves are beside Pleasant and Lucretia. One of them is believed to be their oldest son, Josiah. The other is believed to be Fannie, daughter of Josiah who died in a cellar fire as a teenager.
