Sylvia, I don't know if you've looked yet, but the 1820 census has three Deckers in Lexington. Cornelius, Isaac, and John. All three had males less than ten. A Cornelius was?living with his son Abner in 1855. Said he was born COL, but Abner and other Deckers?in Lexington indicate they were born Greene. -----Original Message----- From: Sylvia Hasenkopf <[email protected]> To: Greene County List <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, 5 Jan 2009 6:02 pm Subject: [NYGREENE] John Decker and Sarah Soule Anyone out there working on the Decker family? Seeking some advice on the parents of John, b. abt 1817. Was living in Lexington in 1850 census. I am seeing that the Decker family was Dutch, not Palatine - is that correct? It also appears that the Decker family in the Prattsville, Lexington, Jewett, Ashland area all seem to be related somehow.
