Sep 1705. Some sources say that her husband was Hendricus Schoonhoven, b. 1699 Kingston, NY. The other half say her husband was Hendrick Schoonmaker, b. 1709 Kingston, NY. None of the articles I have found so far cite a marriage record, just other genealogies and researchers. Does anyone know for sure? Are there two Joanna Deckers?

I don't have a marriage record for Johanna Decker, but I have baptism records for five children of Johanna Decker and Henricus Schonhoven. The first of these is Cornelia, baptized 4 July 1733 at Menissing (Minisink), from page 196 of the "Baptismal and Marriage Registers of the Old Dutch Church of Kingston, Ulster County, New York" transcribed and edited by Roswell Randall Hoes, published in New York by De Vinne Press, 1891. Johanna was baptized on 22 Sep 1705 at Kingston as recorded on page 74 of the same source. The second through fifth children were baptized 1741 through 1751 as recorded in the "Churchbook of the Congregation of Walpeck (NJ) commencing with the Ministry of Joh. Casparus Fryenmuth local Preacher in the year of our Lord 1741". In the same churchbook there is an entry dated 1 July 1786 on page 263 "upon confession" for "Johanna Decker, wid of Hendericus Schoonhoven". I have no idea if there were two Johanna Deckers. Hope this helps.
