There is no proof that Jane Decker is buried in this Browning Cemetery, but two of her sons are buried here, so she is listed here to provide family links. She is most likely buried in a cemetery in Meigs County, Ohio, where she surely died and where she probably lived with or near her children after her husband Isaac Decker died in 1836.
She was born in New Jersey, probably in Sussex County. When the first wife of her husband Isaac Decker died in 1820, leaving Isaac with three young children, Isaac married Jane as his second wife. He may have met her in Jefferson County, Ohio, or returned to the area of his birth around Sussex County, New Jersey to find his new wife Jane.
The names "Todd" and "Wilgus" imply that Jane was previously married before marrying Isaac Decker, to a Mr. Wilgus, and may have been widowed. There is one indication that her maiden name was Jane Fleming. There is another indication that her name was Elizabeth Jane Todd. She made a linen sampler saying "JANE TOOD 1800", according to Mary Abigail Tall. Her surname might have been a New York Dutch name spelled TOOD or TODT.
