Anyone have a listing of Indiana Gunmakers - Peter Deckard Jr.

Peter Deckard (Jr) was born in 1815 In Wythe County VA.  He was a son of John (christened Johannes) Deckard and grandson of the immigrant Jacob Deckard Sr.  Peter later followed in a general migration of Deckard families to Indiana. He is listed in the 1870 and 1880 U.S. census for Monroe County, Indiana as a gun maker and blacksmith in Salt Creek Township..
