John, Sr.'s sons in 1830 are Caleb, James T, John, Jr. and William. Son Alex disappeared between 1820 and 1825. He either moved out of Grayson or died. John, Sr. died between 1834 and 1840. Catherine died between 1830 and 1840. James Wesley Hayse was the s/o William Hayse and Nancy Blair and s/o John H. Hayse and Catherine Decker. He was born 11 May 1828 in Grayson County and died there on 24 Feb 1911. He was buried in the McGrew Cemetery in Grayson County. His wife Rachel Ann Wilson was born in 1830 and died in 1905. He was shown as Wesley, age 21, in the 1850 census. I understand that John Decker, Sr. was born 21 Oct 1752 in Mecklenburg Co, VA; that he served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Capt. Monroe's Co, Col Munford's Virginia Regiment for three months. That he was still in Meckinburg in 1782, and then went to Georgia in or about 1788. The 1850 census for Grayson County for Loddick Martin Decker shows he was born ca 1800 in Georgia. Was he also a son of John, Sr? Records show the family of John Decker, Sr was in Mercer Co, KY in 1806, in Hardin Co, KY in 1808 and in Grayson Co, KY at the time of the 1810, 1820 and 1830 census. I have been told that John, Jr, Barnett, Caleb and Ezekiel were his four sons who were in Kentucky with him. Allen R. Decker, b. 1778, VA, was the son of this John Decker; it appears to me that he would be the oldest of John, Sr's children. If Allen married a Georgia girl, it would logical to me that he would stay in Georgia with his wife, when his father and siblings moved on into Kentucky.
