The Decker Family Home Page
| I got started doing family history when my daughter had to do a family tree for her social studies class, she got an A and I got hooked.I am researching the following names:DECKER - ASHBY - MADDOX - ROWE - GEARY - GRIES. The Decker came from Dutch Germany in early 1600's, his name was Jan Gerretsen, he settled in Ulster Co. NY The Ashby came from England and settled in Fauquier Co. Va. his name was Thomas Ashby. The Maddox came from Wales and settled in Goochland Co. Va. in the 1700's, his name was John Maddox. The Rowe came from England and settled in Va. his name was George Rowe. All of the above were Revolutionary War Soldiers. The Geary is the one I am having the most trouble finding, they seem to just appear in Ky. in 1800's, any help would greatly be appreciated. The Gries came from Germany in 1854 and settled in Louisville, Jefferson Co. Ky, his name was Hermanus Gries, most of this family migrated to Chicago, Ill. Would like to share information with others researching the same lines. | The Decker Family Home Page Updated September 5, 2000 |
