Thanks so very much, Howard, for the lookups. That "c. 1742" marriage date is the first--and only--one I've seen for Isaak & Annetjen [BOGARDUS] DECKER. Yes, Levi was the son of Peter and Maria [HOFFMAN] DECKER, and, as you say, the sixth generation. Again, thanks for going to the trouble to dig out this info--very nice of you to do so.
