In the records of the Reformed Dutch Church at Kingston and at Minisink, the wife of Hermanus Decker is variously called Christina Best, Christina Keyser, and Antje Keyser. It is not clear if this is one, two, or three different women. Note the following records:

Records of the Reformed Dutch Church at Machackemeck, Town of Deerpark, Orange County, New York. "April 14, 1745. In the presence of the same Consistory and Pieter van Aken, elder of Walpeck, upon the exhibition of satisfactory certificates as members of our Church were received: Hermanus Decker and his wife ANTJE KEYSER."
It looks to me as if this is the same woman, daughter of Jacob Keyser and his wife Marytjen Lange.
Jacob Keyser had a sister Styntje [nickname for Christina] but there is no record that he had a daughter Christina. Still, it is clearly a name used by this Keyser family. The other children of Jacob Keyser and Marytjen Lange are also recorded at Kingston and at Minisink in close association with the Decker family.
Of course, it is always possible that Hermanus Decker was married to three different women, Christina Best in 1733, Christina Keyser in 1735 and in 1739, and Antje Keyser in 1745.
