This is the first generation of my Westfall family of interest. Hiram moved to
Gibson County in about 1818. Had previously been in Harrison Co Ky and Corydon,
Harrison Co IN. I have much more data on this family, but still looking for
proof of parents. Always willing to share info.

Trish,
As of Augus of 1988, the last time I was actually there, they were not
online. As for the Genealogical Society. I don't think that they have a
central office or anything like that. While I was there, I was trying to
get in touch with someone there, and all I could get was a private number.
Unfortunately, I never did connect with the person. I'm going to try to get
back there sometime this summer, or fall when my husband retires and we move
from the new england area.

I am trying to piece together the family of Presley Catt DECKER. He was born
abt 1800 in Indiana and died in 1840. He was the son of Luke DECKER and
Elizabeth CATT. He married Nancy COLVIN in 1823 or 1828 in Gibson Co.,
Indiana. I know of two children: Alfred G. DECKER b. 1832 in Gibson Co d.
1900 in Pike Co., Indiana who married Nancy HILLMAN and Elizabeth DECKER b.
abt 1829 d. 1879 who married David FREDERICK.
I do not know where Presley is buried but have found other family members in
Pike Co. I cannot find this family in the 1850 census but there are several
DECKER children listed with other families and I am wondering if they come
from Presley's family. Any help is appreciated.
