Jim, Have you done any more research on the DECKER line? I think I am the only one in the world researching my side of the DECKER line. My Ephraim DECKER was b. abt. 1807 in unknown but did live in Greene Co. during his marriage. He appears out of nowhere and then disappears after 1880.

Jim, Have you done any more research on the DECKER line? I think I am the only one in the world researching my side of the DECKER line. My Ephraim DECKER was b. abt. 1807 in unknown but did live in Greene Co. during his marriage. He appears out of nowhere and then disappears after 1880. Thank you, Elaine ------ I tend to think of the Deckers as a Columbia County family. I've seen their records in the Claverack and Linlithgo churches, probably others as well. Maybe he came over from there. It's probably worth pointing out here that as I've been looking through census records lately it's interesting how many people came to Greene from Rensselaer and Columbia Counties some time after the Revolutionary War period. Quite a few of them moved to the interior of Greene or the more western areas and firmly planted themselves there. The Van Valkenburghs in Prattsville come to mind. I think some of these people may have left rented lands of the Livingstons or the Van Rensselaers for the opportunity to own land in newly opened areas. Jim
