Narrative

John Decker: The portion of Jan Decker, Sr. lineage that deals with Issac is not proven. It is a lineage of 'an' Isaac Decker. Circumstances seem to dictate there is a very good possibility that Jan Decker, Sr. and Dina were the parents of this Isaac.

Merle James Moore, Sr: The following is taken as proof of the lineage:

From Holly Henderson (RootsWeb):

From an article in the April 4, 1968 in the "Valley Advance" reprinted in the June 1985 issue of the "Trail Tracer"

The oldest of these five Isaac's was Isaac DECKER, son of John DECKER and wife Dina KUYKENDALL (both born in 1719). Isaac was born in VA about 1746 and came to Indiana in 1784 with his parents and several of his brothers and their families. He was old enough to escape the confusion with the younger Isaac's. He acquired land in Knox Co., IN, part of it in 1790 as payment for service in the Indiana State Militia. I can find no record of his marriage nor of any children, nor of his death and estate settlement.

"History of Knox and Daviess Counties, Indiana",pg 205, lists Decker's in Indiana Militia, July 19, 1790:
Ike, Abraham, Moses, John (and James Johnson twice)

He may have moved into IL and his records would be there.
