Isabell is a half niece of Elizabeth Jane Dale Decker. Elizabeth Jane is my husband's g-great grandmother. Solomon is most likely connected to Elizabeth Jane's husband, Alcona B. Decker. It seems like there were several marriages between the Dales and the Deckers. 1850 Illinois, Brown County, S R 4 W Twp. Solomon T.
