Surnames: Decker Harrington Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hgR.2ACIB/1815 Message Board Post: James was my ggg grandfather and I am at a loss how to check this out. He was born September 27, 1811 in NY and I think in Columbia County. I have no parents. This is what I would really like to have. He married Cinderella Harrington March 9, 1840 in Orland Township-Cook County-IL. He died on May 27, 1851 on the way home from the California gold rush, in St Louis, MO and he is buried on the banks of the St Francis River.in St Louis, at least this is what is written in Cinderella's obit. She died in MN in 1897. Any clues, ideas, or any hope you can give me?
