Hi again, First of all, didn't think it would hurt to run my "help plea" again...one never knows AND add a little more information! Looking for these DECKERS:> >Horace - b. abt 1832 maybe in Pulaska MI, Jackson County; >he married Lucretia Bailey > From their marriage, at least 2 sons: >1) Harry - b. abt 1869 in Ransom MI, Hillsdale Co.; nothing else known >2) Edward Franklin - b. abt 1859 in Ransom MI, Hillsdale Co.; > he married Ann Elizabeth Bailey > From their marriage, at least 1 son and 1 daughter: >1) Stella Decker b. ?; married (someone) Abbot, had son named him Nelson >2) Harry Clayton Decker - b. 1882 in Elyria OH (or possibly Ionia MI); > he married Hercie Mildred Durkee I have reason now to beleive that Harry Clayton was born in Lake Odessa, Ionia County, MI--could make a difference!!! >From their marriage only 1 son: Murray Loraine Decker - b. 1914 in Woodland MI, Barry Co.; he married Dorothy M. Humphrey >From their marriage 2 daughters and 1 son ---- I have a contact and friend that has been most helpful to me, and old timers to the Decker mail list will likely know him, but for any "newbies" like myself I want to introduce him. John told me it would be okay to "broadcast" his address (are you ready for this John?). He's got monumental amounts of data of the Deckers from way back when-- from the Jans & Jans...and chances are, Karen (weir) and Judy (?) that he may be able to help you too...John can be reached at: [email protected] Karen (weir), I'm in Michigan, just north of Grand Rapids (west side of the state). Diane >(still) Lost in the World of Deckers > > >
