****For starters, there were a ton of Abraham Deckers in that time period. And, the marriage record you mention above only shows the name of her father. Since her supposed mother Christina lived until 1658, why isn't her name in the record also? When/where/who did this Sophia marry? Where is Church of England, St. Armand West.... Quebec, Canada?***** Christina died in 1858 not 1658. Sophia Decker married Joseph Kelly 24 Nov. 1811 St. Armand is in Missisquoi Co, Quebec, Canada ***That would work for the Anthony we are talking about. So when did he die, you didn't include the date above? I'm wondering if the dau Christina b. 1795 as shown in the Decker book is the same person as Sophia?*** Anthony, I think you mean Abraham. He died 10 Aug. 1822 als in St. Armand, Missisquoi Co, Qc., Canada From the 1825 Canadian census we learn that Sophia (Decker) Kelly was born in N.Y. in 1797. All church records I have found show her name as Sophia except once it shows as Saffiah. ****John Decker, the son of Abraham and Christina was b. 1790. In 1809 he mrd. Christian Wells of Goshen as per the Decker book.**** John Decker and Susanna Schoolcraft were married before 8 Feb. 1820 as their first son, Enoch Gerrish Decker was born 8 Feb. 1820. ****It also shows a Hanna Washman as the wife of Lourenz Decker b. 1775, the son of Isaac Decker and Rebecca Spoor.**** *****I'm guessing that Hanna and Anatje Washman are one and the same person.***** Hanna & Anatje being one and the same seems to be so as Anatje Washman and Laurance Decker as sponsors to Laurance VanDeusen's baptism on 25 June 1797. The mix of Washman, Decker and Spoor is the part I love the best. Just seems to point me in the right direction. Sandy Williams **************It's Tax Time!
