I am looking for information on the ancestors of Mary Jane DECKER b. ca 1818 possibly PA. She is listed in the 1850 PA census for Westmoreland Co., Fairfield Twp., PA along with a Jonathon MOODY as her husband and with five children. The census record gives PA as place of birth and her age was 32. Does any one have any information on her? She is my gggrandmother. Robert Peter

The only information I have is: Joseph Decker was son of Henry. I have never found a Henry that had a son Joseph. Joseph married three times First in New York to Jane Benson they had son John. Second he married my GGGgrandmother Minerva Wood from Sullivan Twp Tioga Co., PA. I have most of their descendants. Third he married Eliza A. Ackley, of Westfield Township, Tioga Co., Pa - No children . John Barr [email protected]

Cautionary notes on my descent outline: Some of the relationships are just guesses at this point and that should be noted! Those include the notion that Mary Evans is the daughter of Robert Evans, Jr. It seems likely but is not proven. Also the notion that Hannah Alyea is the daughter of Peter Alyea and Martha Bertholf, which has less evidence than the Mary Evans relationship. I am still actively working on both of them! I would love to hear from anyone who is following any of these lines. Now I suspect that Henry Decker who m. Hannah Alyea may have come from Orange County to Sussex, in the late 1780s, rather than having been born there in Sussex.

Robert, Great idea. Here is my contribution [see below]. Am looking for the father of Henry Decker who m. Hannah Alyea.

Robert, I'm searching for Alexander Decker born abt 1864-73 (conflicting records) the family thinks he was born in Troy, Rensselaer Co NY. That's all I have. Thank's Jacklyn Decker

Robert, Great site! Are any of the 6 publications you have on the Decker's on the Staten Island branch? My line is with Noah Selleck Decker whose parents were Mathias Decker and Ann Hillyer Decker. Thank you, Deborah Ferris [email protected]

Floid, No apologies are reguired. I am always open for constructed criticism. The page is meant for you the researcher. It must be easy to use and naviagate. If it is not the chances of you coming back again is greatly diminished. Any suggestions for improvement will be immediately considered and implemented where possible. I have plans to include more printed reports on specific families. I have expanded the size of the total memory for the page so space won't be a problem. Time is my main drawback.

Robert, On our "tree" there appears a Caroline Decker born (26 Oct,1802) in or around Rochester NY. She married Cornelius Davenport (b. April 19,1803) from Manchester Twp., Ontario Co, NY. I am looking for parents names and a definite location. I'd be thrilled to find anyone knows of them!

Robert, I am researching, Vincent Decker,b.abt.1813,Ny.? could this person be in your files?? thank you. David in Sc.

Does anyone have a John Decker, born ca 1803, in New York, unknown county, married in 1822, Morgan County, OH, to Clarissa Morgareidge, born 1806 in Davistown, Lincoln County, Maine? They had six sons: ...Simeon M. b, ca 1823 in Ohio m. 1) Mary Jane Niles 2) Mary Delilah Smith Decker ...Isaac D. b, 1826 in Ohio, d. ca 1865 in WI m. Mary Delilah Smith ...Burnham M. b, ca 1828 in Ohio, m. Mary I. Rhodes ...Ezekiel b, ca 1829 in Ohio ...Eldridge b, unknown ...Robert S. b, ca 1839 in Ohio m. Ellen F. ? Would really like to find parents and/or siblings of John Decker. If anyone has a John that maybe fell off the face of the earth in early 1800's, let me know. <grin> Thanks, Kathy

Do you know who Catherine Decker married and where she lived? My G-G- Grandmother was Catherine Decker, who married Jabez Case in 1851. She lived in Glenham, N.Y. and this is all I have been able to find thus far. Have a Happy Easter. "Joanie"

Robert. I think this is a wonderfuly idea and so kind of you. I would be more than happy to send you some information, but still can find nothing on my Dutchess County Decker. Her name was Catherine and she married Jabez Case in 1851. She supposedly resided in Glenham, N.Y. at the time. When I come up with something, will be glad to submit it. Hoping you might have something on her and I will read it someday on my computer. Keep up the good work. Have a Happy Easter. "Joanie"
