I am new to this list, and I need some help. I have seen several post about the marriage records of Houston county, would anyone be willing to check for the marriage of my GG grandparents Michael Watson and Nancy Ann Sledge they should have married in the 1850's, they had their first child in 1857 in Georgia, they then show up on the 1860 Wood County Texas census. I would check this myself but I live in Texas. I have a friend who found a Michael Watson listed on the 1830 and 1840 Houston County census, I have found him living in nearby Crawford County in 1850 with his first wife and four children, I have not had a chance yet to go to the Dallas library and look at the age of this Michael Watson to determine if he is the same one but if he is it is possible that he kept contact in Houston County and there is a Sledge Family listed in Houston County on the 1850 census and their is a Nancy Sledge although the age is off by one year, if there is a marriage record then this is my Nancy Ann Sledge. Also is there any one on this list that is related to the Sledge family that lived in Houston County in the 1850's? I would like to contact them to see if we are the same family. The Sledge family on the 1850 Houston County census is as follows: Margaret Sledge age 43 b. South Carolina, (widow) female Mary Sledge age 17 b. Georgia, female Louson Sledge age 15 b. Georgia, male (farmer) Joel Sledge age 11 b. Georgia , male Sarah Sledge age 9 b. Georgia , female Also in Household William Snellgrove age 75 b. South Carolina (merchant) Respectfully Wally Wadsworth [email protected]
