Good going. The dinner party certainly did "actvate" the Deckers. This motivated me to try again solving the mystery following: The list may be help in solving a long time family mystery. This concerns the DECKERS buried in the WOODARD family plot in Alleghany cemetery Allegany, Cattaragus County NY . I feel Mary must be a WOODARD/WOODWARD. All else has failed but sounds like your Deckers scattered around NY and Steuben county may show up a Miles. MILES DECKER b.1808 d.1894 and Mary DECKER b.1818 d. 1899. Thanks for any help.
