Elsje Decker

Cornelis Jansen DECKER married, 22 Dec. 1695, to Elsie TEN BROECK, daughter of Wessel Wesselsen TEN BROECK and Maria TEN EYCK. Following their marriage, they removed from Kingston to what was in their day an undeveloped, inaccessible region in the center of Ulster County on the west side of the Shawangunk Kill. A log house was built there by Cornelis and Elsie DECKER, which was followed by a stone house erected by their son Johannes, who married, 1720, Cornelia WYNKOOP, and secondly, 1726, Marytie JANSEN.
