Biography

Thomas' Dexter, son of William- [Thomas^] and Sarah [Vincent] Dexter, was born at Barnstable, Mass., 1665 ; died 1711. He married (1) Mary jMiller, 17 July, 1695, and had by her one son; married (2) Sarah C. March in 1702-3. The son must have died before his father, for he is not mentioned in his will, and he leaves most of his property to Constant Dexter, who had been brought up by him. He gave land to INIary Sherman, wife of William Sherman, who was a daughter of his brother John. He also gave land to Rose, or Rest, Dexter, daughter of his brother John. He gave £3 each to the four daughters of his brother John and to the two daughters of his brother Benjamin. He gave £5 to the church, and all the balance to Constant Dexter, son of his brother Benjamin.

Constant Dexter,[1] son of Benjamin(3) and Sarah (Arnold) Dexter, was born 27 Nov. 1706; died 1756. He married Meribah Dilloway 1731, and had nine children, born in Rochester. He sold land to his brothers, Benjamin and Josiah in 1733. Children born Rochester:

(Note: There seem to be discrepancies in this Dexter Genealogy entry. The wife's surname given in their marriage record is Dillanoy, not Dilloway, and since Constant died in 1756, the son Gideon is unlikely to be his. There is also no notice taken of his military service & death.)
