In March I shared the Abijah Decker family and that I am seeking to learn more and connect with others researching this family. I have located additional information on several of his children and therefore, I am reposting my original querry with the updates. Thus far, no one on the Decker list has come forward as being a descendant or researcher of this family. Abijah Decker was born in NY or NJ about 1787. Abijah was a private in Capt. Aber Bunnell's Co NY Militia in the War of 1812. He enlisted first in Dec 1813 at Penn Yan, Ontario County,(now in Yates County) NY and was discharged in 1814 for which he later received a 40acre land warrant in Jasper County, Illinois (although I have found no indication he ever entered on that land). He served again "[A]s a substitute for a drafted man" and received an additional 120acre land warrant (place unknown). Abijah married Tina/Tiny/Tyne Jacobus (we speculate she was Martynje d/o Hendrick Jacobus) in Ontario County, New York 3 Jul 1814. The couple removed to Hamilton County Ohio by 1818, then to (neighboring) Dearborn County, Indiana by 1850, then to a land patent purchase in Le Sueur County Minnesota by 1860. Abijah and Tina removed to Wapello County Iowa by 1869 where Abijah died in Polk Twp on 28 Jan 1869. Tina died in Jefferson, Greene County, Iowa 8 May 1879. They had (known) issue: 1)Hannah b. ca1817 NY married Joseph Hayes Guard ca1839 Indiana had issue. 2)James Decker (speculation) b. ca1818 OH married by 1850 to Elizabeth. Lose track of this couple after 1850 Dearborn Co IN census. 3)Sarah b.ca1823 Ohio married Thomas Hyatt bef 1865. They were living in Greene County Iowa as of the 1880 census. 4)John Henry b.16 Dec 1829 Hamilton County, Ohio. He was a Civil War veteran. He married Lucy Gates in Dearborn County, IN on 6 Apr 1858. They had issue, he died in Polk County, Iowa on 24 Jul 1923. 5)Mary A. Decker b. ca 1830 OH married a Mr. Marsh (who/when/where?). 6)Aaron Decker b.1835 Hamilton County, Ohio. He was a Civil War soldier and died from his wounds at the home of his sister Mary Marsh in Vevay, Switzerland County, Indiana on 30 Jun 1865. He married Lydia H. Miner (1840-1921) in Cleveland, Le Sueur County, Minnesota on 16 Aug 1860. They had issue. 7)Margaret b. ca1836 OH. She was enumerated with her parents in the 1850 census of Dearborn, IN; UPDATE: She married Richard Bowton in Dearborn County, IN on Sep 19, 1855. He was s/o Mark Bowton b. England and Mary Nash. Richard and Margaret had issue. Richard died in 1902 and margaret after January 1903 and probably in Dearborn County. 8)Frances (Fanny) Decker b.1839 Ohio. She was enumerated with her parents in the 1850 census of Dearborn, IN; UPDATE: She married William H. Gipson in Dearborn County on Jun 22, 1858. They had issue. Who were Abijah's parents and siblings? Who were the parents/family of his wife Tina? Seeking more information on the children of Abijah and to connect with any descendants/researchers of these Deckers. Thank you. Vicky.
