Hello, list New to this particular list and would appreciate leads or information on this puzzle: Looking for the parents of Martin DECKER living in Roxbury, NY (Delaware Co.). In 1880 he was maried to Frances M. GAGE. Martin is listed as 34 years old in the Roxbury Census of 1880 (b. 1846). There are other earlier Martin Deckers living in Roxbury, but the dates/ages do not match. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1880 NY Census, Town of Roxbury: Martin Decker, age 34 (b. 1846); Frances M. Gage, age 35 (b. 1845); Jay Decker, age 17 (b. 1863); Lee Decker, age 14 (b. 1866); [Not shown, son Edward O. Decker, age 23 (b. May 02, 1857) left home already]. Living in this household is a Jacob Decker, age 60 (b. 1820). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would like to know if and how the above Martin Decker is related to the Martin(s) in some earlier censuses in the same town: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1850 NY Census, Town of Roxbury (#1696) - Martin Decker, age 50 (b. 1800); Martin Decker, age 15 (b. 1835); and others. Living in this household is a Jacob Decker, age 26 (b. 1824). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1840 NY Census, Town of Roxbury - Martin Decker, (presumably 40-49 years old, likely 40, b. 1800, but uncertain); Mrs. Decker, (presumably 30-39 years old); Childrens names not listed, just a count of age ranges. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Daniel Long Sunnyvale, CA USA
