Coles Co. History: "Josiah removed with his parents to KY when a boy, where his education was completed in the common schools of Grayson Co. He was married when 20 years of age to Miss Martha Hart."

1900 Coles Co. census gives his birth as Oct. 1825. It also shows him married to a woman named Augusta; a daughter, Gertrude, 4; a stepdaughter named Mamie Hamman, 13; and a grandson named Bertie Ferguson, 12.

The Illinois Marriage Index shows a J. K Deckard married a Mrs. Gina Switz Haman in Coles Co. on 9-7-1892. I checked for a marriage between a groom named Hamman who married a Gina but none was listed.
