    Notes 
    • The Sledge femily traced its ancestry to one Richard Sledge and his son Richard Sledge, Jr. of County Somerset in England. Richard, Jr. and his son Charles, in the middle of the 17th century, settled in what would soon become Surry County, where we find their descendants still living 200 years later. It may be helpful to the reader if he/she follows this narrative while referring to the two charts on the Ancestry of Mary Etta Cotton and Chart CC, Ancestry of Amos Sledge I.

      Amos Sledge I was apparently a go-getter and entrepreneur. He became a merchant, probably operating a dry goods and trading business in Waverly, Virginia, and prospered. [1]
