- According to Chase, "The name of Decker appears on Jeremy Squam [Island} in 1771, when William and Molly Decker of that island were published in Boothbay records. The following year on Joseph Decker of Freetown (Edgecomb), a descendant of the Delano family [?], whose trading post was on the northern end of Jeremy Squam, married Sarah Davis. This was the Decker family whose vessels were employed by Col. James Swan in his salt and spar trade with Frrance."
