Notes - David's great-grandfather, coming from England, and settling on the Kennebec river, in Maine, became a prominent and prosperous citizen. His grandson, David Decker, removed to Cumberland county, Maine, in an early day, married Jemima Decker, a cousin, and they became the parents of the following children: Mary, David, John, William, Eunice, Charles, Nathan and Spencer.
Of these, David Decker, was a well-known character in his community of Casco, Cumberland Co., Maine. He was a Jacksonian Democrat, and had considerable influence in local and State politics. By occupation he was a merchant and miller, his mill property being situated on the Kennebec river; and as he was a capable business man he prospered, but he also met with many reverses.
