Descendents of Jacob DECKERT b. Metz

I have never been able to find proof for the following:
1. That Jacob, Michael,and Peter Deckard had a father named Johannes Jacob Deckert who accompanied them to America.
2, That they came from Metz, France, or from Germany for that matter.
3. That they immigrated to NY in 1775-1776.
4. That Jacob's wife Mary Vance was the daughter of Samuel Vance and Margaret Laughlin.
5. That Mary Vance's full name was Mary Elizabeth Vance.
6. That the Samuel Vance who married Margaret Laughlin was a Colonel rather than a civil servant.
7. That the Deckards were in Wythe Co.,VA before 1790.
Does anyone know of any proof of any of these conjectures?Many times I have traveled to Metz, France; Essex Co., New Jersey; Wythe Co.,VA; Monroe Co.,IN; and other "Deckard sites" But can find no proof of these claims.Does anyone have any ideas?
I have been researching a long time and need help.
