Jeff,
I have done most of the original research on Sledges of Conway County, AR.I do not show Sarah Sledge as one of the daughters of Henry and Betsy Sledge, but she evidently was their daughter.Henry Sledge and family migrated to Arkansas in the 1830's and settled in Conway County.They were not enumerated in the 1840 Census, so there was no way to know how many children were in the family.Little by little, I thought we had discovered all of them.I have always felt there was a connection between the Shelton/Sledge family, but I guess you have the proof, if you have the Bible record!!Henry's family was the only Sledge family in Conway County until 1860, to the best of my knowledge, and the first Sledge marriage record in that county (that still exists) was for John Sledge.The earlier records do not exist....so the Bible record will do!
I am so pleased you posted on this site!
