Thanks to contributor #49405207 for an explanation as to why Delaware Township, Pike County, PA is a more accurate birth location than the historical notation of Northampton County, PA:
"Delaware Township has been part of Pike County, Pennsylvania since its separation from Wayne County on March 26, 1814. Wayne County was separated from Northhampton County on March 21, 1798. Labeling Elias Decker's birthplace using present-day location may cause less confusion and be more precise."
