Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dexter Genealogy, 1641-1904: Being a History of the Descendants of Richard Dexter of Malden, Massachusetts, From the Notes of John Haven Dexter and Original Researches To the Descendants of Richard Dexter: The history of this branch of the Dexter Family was begun over fifty years ago by the late John Haven Dexter of Boston, who spent many years in compiling data for same, which he presented to the late Orrando Perry Dexter, who commenced this exhaustive researches on this subject while an undergraduate at Christ Church, Oxford, and whose tragic death at the hands of an assassin Sept. 19, 1903, on his estate at Dexter Lake, Franklin Co., N. Y., prevented the publication, by him, of his life's work. In order that these priceless records should be preserved for posterity, I was retained by Henry Dexter, Esq. of New York, father of said Orrando Perry Dexter, to arrange his notes and obtain from the various members of the family data necessary to complete the Genealogy down to the present time. I have received the utmost courtesy from a large proportion of the descendants of Richard Dexter, who have kindly filled out lengthy charts of their immediate ancestors and supplied whatever was in their power to give regarding their respective branches. I regret, however, that in some instances, I have been unable to obtain such gratifying results, as, owing to indifference or lack of knowledge, certain members of the family have failed to reply to my queries. The notes of John Haven Dexter, appearing exactly as he left them, are marked in every instance by a dagger. The late Orrando Perry Dexter being desirous of giving his authority for each and every statement in this Genealogy, the reader is hereby referred to the annexed table of references.
