I am seeking any information on John Decker who was born in Hess Darmstadt who was a shoemaker in Hamilton Butler County Ohio. I was hoping to connect John with Casper . John was born around 1836. My great grandfather was Casper Decker(Decher) who was also born in Hess Darmstadt about 1829 who arrived in USA about 1856. He was a carpenter. He fought with the German group out of Cincinnati in the Civil War having been stationed at Denison. Casper died in 1875 . He had married Anna Maria Deinzer on Dec 26,1873. They had two children Herman Henry born 1874 but died before 1883 and Katherine Caroline born 1875. 1880 census John DECKER Self M Male W 44 HESSE DARMSTADT Shoemaker H.D. H.D.
