294 Description of Deckertown:
“This enterprising village – the principal business centre of a territory many miles in extent – is situated 15 miles northeast of the county seat. The Midland Railroad passes within its limits, and since its construction has added greatly in the development of the place.
The settlement of the village
recalls a period as early as 1740, and possibly earlier, though no authentic
facts prior to that date are obtainable.
In the latter part of the seventeenth century a band of French
Protestants who had, on account of their religious faith, suffered exile and
chosen a refuge among the hospitable Hollanders, emigrated
to
One of their number, by descent a
Hollander, whose name was Peter Decker, passed over the Blue Mountain range on
a pilgrimage in search of fertile land upon which to settle, having determined
to leave the Neversink colony and form the nucleus of
an independent colony. He descended into
the valley now the
The hamlet made but tardy progress for a series of years, and little is known of its history. A grandson of Peter Decker, Samuel by name, early during the present century built a log tavern near the present location of Andrew Quick’s blacksmith-shop, and of which the present Warner House is the offspring. Peter Decker later built a tavern on the site now occupied by the Dickerson Block. It was a frame building, and was afterwards purchased by Soferein Westfall; and Dr. Vibbert, a man of considerable enterprise in his day, finally became owner, after which it was sold, but was consumed by fire the night previous to the purchaser’s intended occupancy. Samuel Decker then built the present Warner House, which has since its erection been frequently remodeled and had many landlords.”

302 Under “Early Exploits at Deckertown”
“The following incident is related as having occurred at the tavern kept by Samuel Decker at an early day. On a certain evening a man was seen riding towards the upper end of the tavern-stoop. The horse was a light sorrel in color, with a bald face. The knight rode up to the stoop, and made his horse step upon it. He then rode past the kitchen to the bar-room door, thence he turned and rode into the bar-room, and was seen no more from the street. On entering, he advanced with his steed to the bar. Meanwhile, the barkeeper and proprietor was stooping down in the act of replenishing his bottle from the barrel, and, having his back turned, did not observe what was progressing. With a kind of neighing voice the knight from his horse called for a drink. The barkeeper looked up, and suddenly encountered the nose of the steed. He considered this as a challenge, and sprang through a side door to a wood-pile with the intention of grasping an axe with which to kill the horse. Some of his friends, deeming this unwise, detained him as he was returning with the weapon.
The horse was with difficulty ejected from the house, when suddenly a band of pugilists poured from the bar-room and swarmed upon the stoop. Oaths and imprecations rose, and clenched fists flew, till dark night drew a curtain over the turbulent scene.
The design of this affray, as proved afterwards in court was to provoke the tavernkeeper to kill the horse, in the bar-room, and then to open the animal, stuff the innkeeper into the cavity, and sew him up, leaving only the head protruding, after which they purposed using the bottles at will and departing in triumph.
This outrage upon the common
decencies of society was not originated by the denizens of Deckertown,
but was the offspring of the fertile brains of what were called in those days liners.
They dwelt upon the State line between
305-306 – Appears the biography of John B. Decker, descendent of Peter Decker who founded Deckertown. This biography appears under stories on the deckerjourney.com website, with picture:
“The first white man to enter the
precincts of what is now Wantage township, in Sussex
County, was Peter Decker, a Hollander by descent, who left the Neversink settlement about the year 1740, and, passing over
the Kittatinny or Blue Mountain, pursued his search
after suitable land upon which to effect a permanent settlement. His
choice fell upon the present site of the village of Deckertown,
where, amid tall forest-trees, murmuring brooks, and the solemn silence of a
vast solitude, he erected the first dwelling built by a white man in that
section. Here he passed his days engaged in clearing up land and tilling
the soil, enduring the trials and privations of pioneer life. He was the
great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch.
“Josiah, son of Peter Decker, was
also an early resident of Wantage township.
He lived at the "Clove," and operated the first grist-mill at that
point, besides engaging in farming to a considerable extent. To himself
and wife, Sarah, were born five children - namely, Bowdewine,
Abraham, William, Fametje, and Margaret. The
sons lived and died in Wantage. Fametje became the wife of Ephraim Kilpatrick, grandfather
of Gen. Judson Kilpatrick, and Margaret married Seth Wickham.

“John B. Decker was born on the
paternal farm, on the date indicated above, and is one of the oldest and most
highly esteemed citizens of the township. His earlier years were passed
upon his father's farm, but his labors were mostly directed to the tanning
business. In 1824 he took up his residence at his father's mill, and
continued to co-operate with his father in the management of his affairs.
In 1845 he removed to the family homestead, and worked the farm, and a few
years later it was deeded to him by his father. Here he has continued to
reside since, the property now, however, belonging to his son-in-law, Jacob Swartwout.
“Mr. Decker has devoted his entire
life to agricultural operations, and has long been a representative farmer in Wantage township. He has
owned a large estate, some of which is still preserved to him, but, though of
good business qualifications and of excellent judgment, he has lost no less
than eighty thousand dollars during his life by indorsements
for friends, and because of his generous heart and liberal spirit. He now
owns the mill at the Clove, a farm of one hundred and fifty acres near by, one
hundred acres in Montague township, a small farm in
“Mr. Decker has now reached the
mature age of seventy-eight years, and is well preserved, and in full
possession of all his faculties. He is a man of strict integrity,
possesses the confidence of many friends, and is a contributor to the Clove
Presbyterian Church. A Republican in politics, he has never been an
aspirant after place. He has been twice married. His first wife was
Sarah, daughter of William and Elizabeth Decker, to whom he was united on April
24, 1824, and who bore him the following children, - viz., Wlliam
(deceased); Naomia E. (deceased); Elizabeth
(deceased), wife of Jansen H. Beemer; Mary (deceased); Bowdewine
(deceased); Daniel W., who died from disease contracted in the army in the late
Rebellion; and Emma R., wife of Judson J. Wickham, of

second wife was Charity M. Kilpatrick, whom he married on

“Among the early residents of Walpack were the Deckers, who
have left numerous descendents still residing in the township. Daniel Decker, born at Machhackemack,
Daniel Decker located on part of the old Schoonover and Brink purchase, at Decker’s Ferry, which he is believed to have established soon after his settlement there. His sons, Henry, Thomas, Aaron, and John, became farmers in Walpack and died in the township. Aaron was a justice of the peace and a chosen freeholder for a number of years. Henry was a soldier in the war of 1812, as was also his son, Henry, Jr. John carried on the ferry and established a blacksmith-ship in the vicinity.
Levitt B. Bristoll, who married one of John Decker’s daughters, kept one of the first stores at Flatbrookville. Most of the Deckers now residing in Walpack are the descendents of Thomas, the second son of Daniel Decker. The ferry which bears their name has been in the hands of the family uninterruptedly for more than a hundred years.
Mrs. Jonas Smith, a daughter of
Thomas Decker, now living in Walpack, recollects
hearing her mother relate that many years ago William Hill, with his wife and
two children, came down the Delaware in a canoe, en route from Kingston, and
landed one evening at her father’s, who then resided on the Delaware at
‘Fiddler’s Elbow,’ where William Hull now lives. Mr. Hill and his family spent the night with mr. Decker, and in the morning
presented Mrs. Decker in return for her hospitality, a wooden butter-bowl,
which was until lately in the keeping of Mrs. Smith. Mr. Hill bought 500 acres of land above Flatbrookville, on a portion of which Sarah, widow of Uriah Hill, now resides.
William Hill died in the summer of 1844, at an advanced age, leaving
sons – Andrew, Nehemiah, uriah,
David, and Enos.

“Thomas Durling built and opened the first store in Flatbrookville about 1818, and soon after sold it to Frederick Vaticken. Crynus Bloom, who married Blandina, daughter of Thomas Decker, built and kept the first hotel, some years later. About 1818, John Decker built a blacksmith-shop. In 1835, Benjamin Hull and Jacob Smith erected a clover-mill and sawmill, and for a number of years did a prosperous business. Jacob Smith was the first postmaster of the place.”
