Person D. Sledge/ Warren Co, NC

In my continuing quest of Lydia Sledge who married Matthias Pringle Gahagan [or rather attempting to verify to whom she belongs; at the moment, I have 4 "researched" parents], I have a letter dated 3Mar1970 from Woodrow Sledge, that states that Lydia is the daughter of James Person Sledge and Mary "Polly" Park(e)s, who was the widow of Hamlin Sledge.This would be the Polley Sledge who married Person Sledge, 28Dec1803, Franklin co.,NC.Woodrow Sledge's descendancy was from a son of Hamblin Sledge and Mary "Polly" Park; i.e.,Robert Sledge who married Frances Ingles (O'Brien/O'Bryan) Wortham later Jones. [Frances O'Brien apparently married 3 times:1.Wortham 2.Sledge 3.Jones.]Robert Sledge was in Texas.Mary Park Sledge had to be very young when she married Hamlin Sledge (1764/67-1801).James Person Sledge was the son of James Sledge/Rebecca Person...and Hamlin Sledge was the 1st cousin of James Sledge.I've made notation of Person D. Sledge (but at the moment can't find it).I also have a notation from the will of James Sledge(will written:1827;recorded 1834,Warren co.NC) with the following children mentioned:Person Sledge,Sally Sledge Yarborough,Willis Sledge,Amos P.Sledge,Elizabeth Sledge Bennett, Tabitha Sledge(relict of Turner Sledge),Martha Sledge Person,Priscilla Sledge Powell, John W.Sledge,Lucy Sledge Aycock,Amy Sledge Person.I will be most interested in any clarification. [2 of the lines have Lydia as a daughter of James Person Sledge...this is the research in the DAR...one of which my aunt did - but I can find no verification.] Best regards.
