Anyone out there know anything additional about Elizabeth Fowler (b. about 1775) married to Cornelius Decker? The couple is listed as living in Lexington, Greene in the 1850 Census and they are buried in the Lexington Village Cemetery. I know that two of their children are Abner H. and Louise. My family may be in possession of Elizabeth's sewing thimble but I need to confirm a middle initial and/or her lineage. The thimble was given to my grandmother Dorothy M. Decker a few decades ago by a cousin by the last name Parks(?) or Parker(?) -- I'm not familiar with any of these cousins so I'm unable to share the exact history of the family heirloom. My mother describes the thimble as "large" a size 11 (?). Thanks,

She may be the daughter of Silas Fowler. His son married Hannah McLean. Hannah's mother was a Decker. These two families came from the same area in Columbia Co, about the same time to the mountaintop.

Sylvia, I wanted to tell you thank you so much for transcribing marriages and obituaries from the Catskill Recorder. I found very helpful information about my family in each of them!!! I really appreciate your hard work. Thanks, Nancy
