This is my road block. I can't seem to be able to go any farther back than Garrett and Mary. I'm Stuck! This is what information that I have on them. Garrett Decker born 1821 in New York. Died about 1876 in Vigo County, Indiana. He married Mary Thornbury Perkins, born 1824 in Ohio. Date of marriage October 15, 1846 in Boone County, Indiana. Children were: Louisa , Sarah, John T.W. b, abt 1848, Caroline b, abt 1849, Rosella b, abt 1849, Margaret b, abt 1852, Hariet b, abt 1853, William b, abt 1855, Lydia b, abt 1858, Josephine b, abt 1859, Joseph William b, February 10, 1867 (my great great grandfather). Garrett and Mary show up in the 1850 census in Boone County, Indiana and again in the 1860 census for Prairie Creek, Vigo County, Indiana. I just can't seem to get any farther back than this on the Decker side. If you could be of any help, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks, Gloria Decker Brown

I recently found information online that indicated my grandfather, Glen Decker, could be part of the MI Decker line. Here's what I found: Glen Decker b 1895, the son of George Milton Decker b 1852, d 1931, and Caroline Howe b 1862, d 1946. Is there someone on the list that's familiar with the Michigan Deckers? I'd love to hear from you and explore this further. Maggie Maggie Toussaint
