My Decker Line---OH, IL
Hi
I'm trying find out information on my Decker line.My Grandmother is Marguerite Decker, b. 1916.She married Richard McKinney.Her father was Joseph Decker, who, according to some census records, was born in Feb. 1882.The information on the 1900 census states that he was born in IL, his father was born in OH, and his mother was born in IL.Listed also is a brother, Frank, who was born in Feb 1884....my grandmother didn't remember this brother.She did remember brothers named Lawrence Decker and Fred Decker, and that they had a sister who married a Clark.She doesn't remember anything about her grandparents...names and such....but she did say that Joseph's mother re-married an Elliott after the death of her husband.
Joseph Decker married Lottie Buckingham sometime before 1906 and had at least 4 children....1. Charles Decker, 2. Joseph Decker, 3. Minnie Decker, 4. Marguerite Decker.Lottie died when my grandmother Marguerite was about 2...around the year 1918.Her sister Minnie died shortly after.According to my grandmother, the little girl was so upset over the death of her mother, she died of some sort of brain fever.Joseph remarried a Martha Hackensmith/Hockensmith? sometime after 1920 and had 3 more children.
If this line looks familiar to you, please contact me.Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated. :c)
Thanks!
Tina
