Pleasant, James, and William were not hanged but shot by a federal patrol after stealing the horse of a Federal officer the night before. The three were riding together with three other men to a rendezvous with other Partisan Rangers when they stopped to rest their horses and themselves and were caught off guard by the patrol. The three brothers were killed and the other three men escaped. Montgomery Wilson, who was a student of and then a private who served with Pleasant witnessed the attack and left a detailed description. The three were mutilated after their death and their bodies were dumped in their mothers yard.
