Hi Karol. I believe that John Decker is the son of Isaac Decker and Elizabeth Deyo. No concrete evidence yet, however Jacob Soule Decker, infant son of John H Decker and Sarah Soule is buried beside Isaac Decker and wife Elizabeth Deyo in the Deyo cemetery in Lexington. It seems to make sense. Sarah Soule is the daughter of Jacob Soule and wife Maria. JACOB SOUL of Prattsville Will probated June 15, 1864 Heirs: wife, Agnes Maria; sons, Ebenezer I. and Madison; heirs of daughter Betsey Haner, deceased; daughters, Cornelia Griffin, Olive, wife of Joseph Huggins; Sally, wife of John H. Decker; Maria, wife of Richard Deyoe, Abigail N., wife of George W. Bloomburgh. Executors: Joseph Huggins and John H. Decker Witnesses: Ezekiel P. More and Jacob C. Frazer of Prattsville. John H. Decker and Sara and buried alongside Jacob and Maria in the Little Westkill Cemetery ion Prattsville. Haven't seen a Mercy yet, though.

Thanks, Sylvia.?Mercy Frazee?and this Jacob Soule were probably siblings. I think Mercy and Eliphalet Frazee?were married in Schoharie Co. and settled in Oneida Co. I'm not a descendent but certain names in Greene, Delaware, and Schoharie catch my interest.?Karol Hi Karol. I believe that John Decker is the son of Isaac Decker and Elizabeth Deyo.
