Surnames: Decker, Roddy Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/hgR.2ACIB/1792.1 Message Board Post: Hi Dawn, >From the book "Names of Immigrants in Pennsylvania 1727-1776" by Prof. I. Daniel Rupp. pages 302-304: "Sept. 14, 1753, Ship Edinburgh, James Russel, Captain, from Rotterdam, last from Portsmouth." Among the passengers listed is a Michael DECKER on page 304. He is listed amont those passengers who were "sick" upon arrival. I don't know that this is your Michael Decker, but your Michael would have been about 23 years of age at the time this ship arrived in Phila. I was wondering if among the descendants of your Micahel DECKER, you might have any information on a Mary M. DECKER, supposedly b. in Westmoreland County, PA on December 9, 1800? Parents & siblings unknown. She married John RODDY about 1819 in Johnstown, Cambria Co., PA. She died July 21, 1889 according to her tombstone. Thanks much, Sally
