Notes for JAN GERRITSEN DECKER: The following is from The Decker Genealogy, Some Descendents of the Dutch Immigrants, Johannes Gerretsen Decker and Jan Broersen Decker, compiled by Benton Weaver Decker, Copyright 1980 by Benton Weaver Decker, Printed in the USA by Budget Book Manufacturing Company: The date of the arrival of Jan Gerretsen Decker is arrival. We know that he came from Heerden, Gelderland, Holland, and married Grietjen Hendricks Westercamp, daughter of Hendrick Janse and Gemmetje Albertse. She was born in New Amsterdam in 1642 and was married in Esopus in 1664. Jan Gerretsen took the name of Decker prior to 1685, but he used the name of Gerretsen several times thereafter. There were eight Gerretsens in the area at this time. Ours was born in Holland prior to 1640 and died in Port Jervis in 1717. He had settled in Rochester (Mombackus) but soon afterward, he moved south, down to Old Mine Road to Deerpark and into New Jersey. The marriage records state that Grietjen Westercamp was of New Amsterdam in New Netherland, and both resided in Kingston.

He married (1) GRIETJE MARGARET JANS DECKER Jan 20, 1685 in Banns date; Kingston, Ulster, NY15, daughter of JAN DECKER and HEYLTJE JACOBS. She was born Aug 31, 1664 in Baptised Date; Kingston, NY; was from Esopus16,17. He married (2) CHRISTINA PRUYER 170718. Notes for GERRIET JANSE DECKER: Witnesses to Baptism were Hendrick Bosman, Markien Everingh, and Grietjen Hendricks (mother). This is the first marriage between the two Decker families who were in the area but unrelated. Grietje (Margaret) Decker was the daughter of Jan Broersen Decker, while her husband was the son of Jan Gerretsen Decker. "A roll of the names and surnames of them that have taken the Oath of Allegiance in the County of Ulster, by order of his Excellency, the Governor; the first day of September, Anno Qe: Domini 1689-Gerritt Jans Decker Source: O'Callaghan, EB, The Documentary History of the State of New York, Vol. I, Albany: Weed Parsons, & Co., 1850, page 174. Comments: There were two Gerrit Jans Deckers marrying within a year of each other in Kingston. The first married Magdalena Willemz Schut and the second married Margriet Janz Decker. Neither grooms had been married before because their names were marked in the marriage records with "j.m." Gerrit and Magdalena and Gerrit and Grietje were having children at the same time, meaning they were two separate families. The question remains who was the father of the Gerrit Jans Decker who married Grietje? Jan and Magdalena had no children named Jan. Heyltje, or Willemtie baptized in the Kinston records. Their children were Jacob, Willem, Grietje (believe to have been named after Magdalena's mother, and Neeltje. While the above suggest that the Gerret married to Magdalena was Jan Broersen's son, it offers no further clues to prove it. However, a Willemtie, was the witness at their son, Jacob's, baptism. The names and baptismal witnesses of Gerrit and Grietje's children offer no clues as they would have named their children after both sides of the family and members of both Decker families would have been baptismal witnesses. However, Gerret and Grietje did name their first three children, Jan, Heyltie, and Grietje. In the family of Jan Gerritsen, there was a son named Gerret but no daughter named Margriet or Grietje. In the family of Jan Broersen, there is a daughter named Grietje, as well as a son named Gaerleff (probably a misspelling, or mistranscription of Gerrett). As Grietje would not have married her own brother, it can be safely assumed that her husband, Gerrit, was the son of Jan Gerritsen, and she was the daughter of Jan Broersen, while her brother Gerrett/Gaerleff, was the one who married Magdalena Schut.
