Hi Jack, My names are similar, but probably no connection. Here is my DECKER history - I descend from George Decker, who was a blacksmith. George W. Decker Sr. was born in Copake, Columbia County, NY in 1814 and died in Scranton, PA in 1898. George and his wife Catherine had several children. William H. Decker was the oldest and first born son of 11 children. The other known children¹s names are Catherine, Martin, Mary, Eliza, Clara, George Jr., Edward, Harriet, and Ella. There was supposedly and Addie, but I have never found her. My Eliza A. Decker was born in 1848. My Edward was born in 1857. Was your Andrew Decker born in New York?

It looks like he settled in Manorton, Columbia Co. ,NY. By 1810 he had a family of six by his first wife Maritje Bohm. They then moved to Chenango Co., NY . His children were Jacob, Henry Elizabeth, Polly, Peter , Uriah and Frances. Jacob would be my gggrandfather. They then moved to Bradford Co., PA around 1840. One of his children was Rennselaer Dewey Decker who had 125 acres of land, one sawmill and a house. He "transfered" these assets to ANDREW DECKER who at the time was living in Mill City. This is why I'm trying to find out who Andrew is, I am assuming he is an offspring of one of the brothers. Jack
