No one knows for sure what his middle name was although the initial was M. It is true he named a son Pleasant Murry Derossett, who was called Murry, but that is not proof of the older Pleasant's middle name.

Son of Marvel R. "Marv" DeRossett and Myra Holloway

Married (1st) Rebecca (Owens) Rector, widow of Wm. D. Rector, on 7 September 1870 in Clinton Co., Kentucky

Married (2nd) Nancy Arminta "Minnie" Burns on 24 Jul 1906 in Clinton Co., Kentucky. Minnie left him sometime after the 1920 census

Plez and his first wife, "Becky", were the parents of Docie (DeRossett) Crabtree, Epsie (DeRossett) Campbell Shelton, Martin Byrd DeRossett, Doctor Hunter DeRossett, Elizabeth "Lizzie" (DeRossett) Rigney, Rosa Senabelle (Derossett) Bertram, and Pleasant Murry DeRossett

Plez and Becky are buried near her parents in the back of the cemetery. The row in which they are buried contains the graves of (left to right) Martin Byrd, Pleasant M. "Plez", Rebecca "Becky", Lizzie, and Epsie. Lizzie's baby girl, Flonnie is buried at the feet of Plez and Becky.
