The book "The Decker Family of Grayson County, Kentucky" by Downs goes a long way toward sorting out some of them. It also mentions about 50 Saltsman names. (I gave the address of the author in a previous post in this thread.) Regarding the 1870 census: Jane Decker 36 is Amanda Jane Decker, Isaac's sister. Elizabeth and John B. are Isaac's children by his second wife Nancy Allen (who died sometime between the birth of daughter Cansada in December 1869 and the census which was taken in August 1870.)
