COLLATERAL-DECKER.

Sarah Ann Decker, wife of Dr. James Madison Boyle (page 64) was daughter of Isaac Decker, born Hampshire county, Virginia, July 26, 1784, died Louisiana, June 17, 1826, and Margaret Mulledy, born Hampshire county, January 10, 1791, died at her home in Crawford county, Illinois, of pneumonia, March 4, 1845.

The grandfather of Isaac Decker came from Sopus, Holland, to Virginia. Isaac possessed an unusually exalted character. Mr. Jack Hutton, whom Decker had taken as an orphan, into his family, and reared, when old, told me he thought his benefactor the best man he had ever known. Decker was enterprising. He shipped his surplus crops to New Orleans, and while returning fell a victim to yellow fever. He was buried near the Mississippi river and when the next winter his widow sent for the body the bank at that point had been wholly carried away by the stream.

Margaret Mulledy was daughter of Thomas Mulledy-born in Dublin-and Sarah Cochrane-born in Virginia. Being of diverse religious faith, a dispensation was granted at Rome, for their marriage, and by ante-nuptial agreement their sons were reared as Catholics, their daughters as Protestants. Two of their sons "were very prominent in the priesthood of the Catholic Church," Father Thomas F. Mulledy being president of the Georgetown College, D. C., and Father Samuel A. Mulledy being chaplain of Archbishop Hughes of New York.

Isaac Decker and Margaret Mulledy were married in 1808.
