Biography
Elizabeth Decker aka Elizabeth Dekker
Birth
Elizabeth|Lisabeth Decker was born bef. 25 October 1719, Probably at the tri-state Minisink Valley area[1]. Elizabeth Decker was baptised on 25 October 1719. [2]. Her baptism was recorded at the central repository at the Kingston Reformed Dutch Church.
- Note: Record of marriage or baptism recorded at the Kingston Reformed Dutch Church does not imply that the event actually took place at Kingston. The Kingston RDC serviced an area that included Ulster, NY, Orange, NY, and portions of Essex, NJ and Pike, PA.
Parents
- Father: Jacob Jans Decker, b. 1671
- Mother: Antje Cortright, b. c 1675
Marriage
Elizabeth Decker and Johannes Kuykendall (aka Kuckendal) posted married intentions on Mar 24, 1745, The Minisink Church marriage notice of Mar. 24 1745 says the marriage took place Apr. 19, 1745 and that groom was born at Syndiaquai, bride at Shippegonck and both resident in the latter[3].
This record implies first marriage for each, however one must note child Johannes who was bp. on Jul 18,1741. Perhaps Johannes is a child of other parents or Johannes Kuykendal was previously married. More investigation is necessary.

- The Kingston Reformed Dutch Church ceased recording such records for satellite areas as these area Churchs were built and staffed. The Minisink-Machackemack Dutch Church (Orange County, N.Y.) took over centralized recording until its satellite Minisink Valley Churches were staffed.
