Hi I've been looking for the ancestors of my Decker for quite some time now and had a little breakthrough today. Maybe someone will recognize something and be able to add a bit more. My Decker/Alstons are most likely from Staten Island but could be New Jersey. Daniel C. DECKER married Catharine Ann ALSTON b. 9 Jul 1820 d. 17 Oct 1902 on 24 Nov 1839 - children: 1. Albert Alston Decker b. 15 Jan 1841 2. Charity Ann Decker (my gggrandmother) b. 1 Sep 1845 d. 18 Oct 1928 Great Kills, Staten Island, NY, married Robert KNIGHT 29 Oct 1865 3. Emma Jane Decker b. 27 Jul 1848 d. 19 Jul 1928, married Theodoric BRINCKERHOFF 30 Aug 1868. I would appreciate anything which might help me trace my Decker ancestors. - Ed Edward Coates Sinker - email: [email protected] Church Lea Bosbury Herefordshire HR8 1PX U. K.
