Hi Chris,
Although a cousin and I are researching what old records are available (personal trips to view records in Metz, VA,TN,KY,NC,IN,IL,and MO)all I have on Allen Deckard comes from Dr. Percy Deckard's 1932 book, GENEALOGY OF THE DECKARD FAMILY.However, there is not documentation for a Johannes Jacob Deckert associated with Jacob Deckard, Sr.The documentation I have seen presented for verification turned out to be apparently false.
Percy's book says Allen Deckard was a private in the 57th Indiana regiment on the Union side in the Civil War and died during the war. Percy says that according to the 1850 Census, Allen was born Feb. 24, 1835 near Smithville, IN.He married Armina Malidontory Houk on August 4, 1855.
