Hi- I think this is the Jacob Dacker/Decker from Amwell twp, Hunterdon Co
named in Andries Decker's will.(husband of Dvierje Maule) This is the only
Jacob Decker I could find in any Hunterdon Co records; the only other Decker in
Hunterdon Co records was John Decker (wife, Sarah DeMott) who was also mentioned
in Andries' will. There were no records in Hunterdon Co for another brother,
Peter Decker, Hunterdon Co, also mentioned in Andries' will, but there was a
Peter Decker (married to Styntje) living in next door Somerset Co. nearby.
Would love to be in contact with any descendents of this Jacob or his son, or
other descendents of Andries and Divertje (Maule) Decker. Thank you in advance.
