William Plasants was born January 5, 1756, in Surry County, Virginia. The names of his parents are not shown in the papers in the pension claim.
While living in Surry County, Virginia, he enlisted in December, 1775, under Captain Charles Perkins and was engaged for one year as a minute man guarding the shores of the James River in Surry County, Virginia; he volunteered in the spring of 1779, served as a private in Captain Thomas Howard's Company, Colonels Lawson and Richardson's Virginia Regiment, and was engaged at Portsmouth, Smithfield, and Suffolk intercepting the enemy; length of this service not stated; he enlisted in 1780, served as a private in Captain William Gay's Company, Colonels John C. Wells and Josiah Parker's Virginia Regiment, and was in several skirmishes in 1781, and was discharged in November of that year.
After the Revolution, he lived in Isle of Wight County, Virginia until 1787, when he moved to Caswell County, North Carolina.

Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
I am writing to ask information in regard to the Revolutionary soldier, William Pleasants , who moved from Virginia to N. C., receiving his pension in N. C.
The first Census of N. C. 1785-90 shows him to be in Caswell County, though he owned property in Person and Granville Counties and I think lived in Person County, later.
I am very anxious to get as many details as possible about his service, his wife's name and the names of his family of children. My son's great grandfather, Stephen Pleasants, was his son.
In searching the Va. records, I find there were three William Pleasants, living during the period of the Revolution and we hope to get information from you that will point out from which county in Va. the William Pleasants of N. C. came. This branch of the family left the final S off of the name for two generations.
I should also like to know if any Norvells living in Tenn. received a pension. The name was also spelled Norrell, Nowell, Nevill, Norvil, Norville, Norvells. I am especially anxious to know if any John Norvill, James Norvell, William Norvell or David Norvell of Bedford Co. Tenn. or of Giles Co. Tenn. received a pension for either Revolutionary service or service in War of 1812. They were four brothers, all of whom served either in Va. or N. C. in Revolution and from Tenn. in Indian Wars & War of 1812.
