    Elizabeth Decker married Thomas Forman the son of Bejamin forman Sr and Anne hamilton. Thomas was killed by Indians and she remarried , A court ordered inventory was made after Thomas' death, on June 12, 1765. Elizabeth signed the probate bond on March 6, 1765, in Hampshire County. At that time she signed as Elizabeth Foreman, then as Vincent Calvin & Eilzabeth, his wife.
    Thomas' will was probated in Hampshire County, VA, March 6, 1765. We know very little of Thomas. Only recently has he been identified as the parents of Thomas and Joseph. Thomas died very young, probably as the result of Indian attacks. In dying, he left a small child and a pregnant wife, Elizabeth.
    Thomas had owned some land along with his brother and father, in the Hampshire County area of Virginia. At his death, his estate was probated by his wife, Elizabeth.
    Thomas is mentioned as traveling with his brother, but no further mention of his existence is known. Elizabeth Decker was the daughter of John Decker and Dina Kuykendall Decker who was the sister of the Abraham Kuykendall who produced one of the ledgers you refer to. Abraham K. died in 1777.

    The above John Decker had a brother named Luke, who was killed by the Indians, leaving one son named John, born abt 1750. It was his son, named Luke for his grandfather, who went to Pickaway County Ohio about 1806. He returned to Hampshire County, married "Ivea Fox", bringing her to Ohio. We paid Elkins, WV researcher Bill Rice to track down the Kuykendall ledger. He located it in Pickaway County, OH. The descendants who possess the Kuykendall ledger gave me the information on the Luke Decker/Ivea Fox marriage.22
