Johannes Decker may have died as an infant on January 23, 1742. A family Bible entry states: "1742, January the 23d Johannes Decker is deceased in the Lord. Saturday afternoon." ^[18] Johannes was son of Johannes Decker, so this bible entry could apply to either person, but most likely was the father. Typically Bible entries about a child of the family identify that child as a son or daughter.
