I am researching my ancester Mathais Deck born TN 1818 and died Weakley Co. TN 1879. Married to Catherine Grooms. He is listed in Censuses for Weakley Co. from 1840-1870. I believe, but have not substantiated that his father was Daniel Deck born 1790 PA and died Weakley Co. TN abt 1860. wife was a Catherine ?. He is first listed in Greene Co. TN in 1825 and on the census for Gibson Co in 1830. The area he lived in changed to Weakly Co. in 1838 and he is listed on all censuses until his death. Daniel's other children were: Winnie, Susan, Rebecca, Charles, Marion, Robert, John and Jasper.
Have you found this family in your research?
