Hi LOL 20 years!!! Persistence pays, doesn't it?? At the time of these marriages, there is only information on the white families. In 1865-66, you will see marriages listed as to white or colored. So the folks we are discussing here are white. I am sorry, I don't have very much on the Sledge families or the Snelgrove family. One of my gr-gr-grandmother's sisters -Susan Wilder married a Snelgrove. That is really all the information I have on them. Leonidas Sledge wasn't really an ancestor but he married a Lisenby and I know very little about these families, but Jeff Shirah is related to the Lisenby family. I don't know if he knows any more about them. On the marriage records that I have of my ancestors from Houston County, there are no other people mentioned, except bride - groom- jp - Wish it was different. I am in Australia, so I haven't heard anything about marriage licenses in Georgia, being reclaimed after all this time. Maybe someone else can help with that question. Best of luck for the next 20 years, it shows all of us that brick walls can come crumbling down. You might want to have a look at the Houston County page and think about joining the Central Georgia Genealogical Society. You would find more help there. best of luck, Gaila
