Sylvia, Did you figure out who John Decker belonged to? The one married to Sarah Soule? Wasn't that how the Decker exchange started? And was Sarah the daughter of Jacob? I have a Mercy Soule married to a Frazee and am curious. Karol -----Original Message----- From: Sylvia Hasenkopf <[email protected]> To: Greene County List <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, 12 Jan 2009 8:25 pm Subject: [NYGREENE] More Deckers up the mountain I have now determined that Cornelius, John and Isaac had two other brothers who also came over to Greene Co. It appears that 5 brothers - John (b. 1768 and married Maria Brandow), Isaac (b. 1781 and married Elizabeth Deyo), Cornelius (b. 1778 and married Elizabeth Fowler), Derick (b. 1765 and married Elizabeth Sesson) and Laurens (b. 1761 and married Cornelia Brisee) came to Greene Co - Prattsville/Lexington area abt 1800. I see Gysbert and wife Catlyntje being sponsors for Laurens' son Andrew in 1800 in the Prattsville RDC. I have the baptisms for all these sons. There is one other son of this family, Nicholas, b. 1772 that I do not see here in Greene Co. There is also the family of Leendert (Leonard) Decker and Elizabeth Randall. This couple was married in the Linlithgo RDC in Columbia Co on July 2 1780 and removed to Greene county in the early 1800's. They had 5 children that I have found: Elisabeth, b. 1788, Jannetje, b. 1781, William b. 1783, John, b. 1786 (never married) and Nancy b. 1791 (never married). Leendert is the son of Cornelius Decker and Jannetje Conine, bap. 11.11.1752 in Germantown RDC. I believe these are all the old Decker families from up the mountain. Can anyone elaborate on any of the children of Derick and Laurens? What I have to date is: Derick: married Elizabeth Sesson John, b. 1786 married Christine McFall Catalyntje, b. 1788 Sybil, b. 1789 Christina b. 1797 Rebecca b. 1801 James, b. 1803 Dolly, b. 1805 Dolly b. 1808 Polly, b. 1810 James Lawrence, b. 1813 Laurens: married Cornelia Brisee Catalyntje, b. 1785 Cornelius, b. 1786 married Cornelia Laraway Geisbert, b. 1788 Peter, b. 1790 married Cornelia Swart Andrew, b. 1800 married ?? Christina, b. 1801 Anna, b. 1803 Harriet, b. 1804 Gitty, b. 1809 married James Judson Possibly a John L. b. 1795 but can't find a baptism married Margaret (Peggy) ? For the other three brothers: John: married Maria Brandow Mary, b. 1800 Gilbert, b. 1802 Catalina, b. 1803 Isaac, b. 1810 Isaac: married Elizabeth Deyoe Solama, b. 1809 Jame s Gilbert, b. 1811 married Caroline S. Huggans Cornelius: married Elizabeth Fowler Louise, b. 1802 married Lucas D. Schermerhorn Isaac C., b. 1804, married Polly Lament Abner H., b. 1810, married Maria Lasher Lucinda, b. 1818, married Corydon Kipp Anyone know who Giilbert Decker(b. 1808 and married to Christina Scheffer) parent's were?
