Luretta, Euretta, or Retta DEXTER

kward1018 — 28 Sep 2008 2:04:17 GMT

I am looking for this DEXTER - Luretta, Euretta, or Retta - b. 1870 Illinois, father b. Canada/Eng, mother b. Ohio. She married 1890 to Timothy BURKE (he b. Ireland 1862) at St. Mel's Catholic Church - she is not a Catholic. Children: Edward Timothy b. 1890, Lula T. b. 1892, Clarence b. 1899 - all in Chicago.

In 1900 they are living at 2322 Fulton, West Town, Chicago. He is a 'painter foreman' and they own their own home.

In 1905 they are in Marathon County Wisconsin living on a farm. They are there in 1910, but Luretta has died 1909 and is buried in the local cemetery.

Do any DEXTER researchers know this Luretta?

I am just curious as to if I can find more info. My great great grandmother was a Dexter (by marriage)Her name was Fanny Rice Dexter and she married Eugene Dexter. They both died around 1934-35 and had I think 4 or 5 children. One of those children was my great grandmother, Alice Dexter Mitchell. I think that they lived in or around the Charlton/Oxford area because my great grandmother was born in Charlton on December 24, 1889. (Massachusetts) If anyone has any other information, I would appreciate it. I know that I still have some cousins of some sort that live in the area of Oxford and Brookfield. Thanks. You can e-mail me. Crsaldivar@cs.com

Jason Dexter; Darius Dexter CT early 1800's

LauretteHall — 21 Feb 2008 5:16:34 GMT

Can anyone help? I'm researching JASON DEXTER, b. 8 May 1825 in CT, near Mansfield, m. Elizabeth ROOT of Ware, MA, 28 Nov 1845. He died in Somers, CT 4 March 1890 and she died in Somers on 1 Jan 1892. My great Aunt had his father as DARIUS DEXTER, b. 1789, married to Phebe, b. 1 March 1792. DARIUS died 13 Oct 1857, most likely in CT. I know there is a DARIAS who was born in Mansfield, but that was 30 years earlier than "mine". I have seen the Censuses which show a Darius of the correct age bracket as "mine" living in CT in the towns of: Willington, and Mansfield. SO: Does anyone have any info they can share with me?
THANKS!

DEXTER FAMILIES - MELROSE, MA - LATE 1800's

bbffrrpp — 8 Jul 2003 6:16:24 GMT

According to a census form I read, there were 2 or 3 Dexter families living in Melrose, MA, around 1880 to 1920. I'd like to find out if they were related. Three Dexter brothers, perhaps? One of them was John Dexter, and his wife, Mary (Clark) Dexter. He was a Real Estate Agent and they lived on Franklin Street. They were my great-great-grandparents. Because we always thought they were my grandmother's adoptive parents, we did not research their family tree. Now, we know that they were my grandmother's REAL grandparents! Have the name of Mary (Clark) Dexter's father, James Clark. But, we know absolutely nothing about John Dexter's family. They were probably both born around 1825. And, they might have both come from the New Bedford and Fall River, MA, area.

cdexter1414 — 27 Jun 2006 4:11:35 GMT

I understand the following children for Thomas are shown in the christening records of the Leicestershire Parish Records

Thomas 21/11/1614
Mary 16/9/1616
William 21/2/1618
Frances 5/8/1621
Elizabeth 31/8/1623

Also, the records show a marriage to a Mary Harper on 6/3/1613.

This may be the same Thomas that came to Massachusetts in 1630 since the names are exactly the same.

Cyril Dexter. Sheffield, England. Killed in the Great War, 1916. Hood Bn.

smiths565 — 27 Sep 2005 9:45:58 GMT

I have been researching men who worked for Vickers Steelworks in Sheffield England and fell in the Great War 1914-18.

Can anybody tell me more about Cyril Dexter and his family.
A member of the Hood Naval Battalion. Any help would be great. He had a brother Enzer - did he serve in the war? His Parents moved from Basford to Sheffield - was this in search for work ?

The result of my research and the military/family details about Cyril Dexter can be found on http://www.stannington.webitsmart.co.uk/ in the Vickers Steelworks section.

Thanks in advance.

John Dexter, a Widower, in Alaska in early 1900's???

bbffrrpp — 8 Jul 2003 6:16:24 GMT

Our family has never been able to track down any information on our grandmother's adoptive parents in 1890's in Melrose, MA. Another writer states that a John Dexter moved to Alaska around that time. My grandmother's adoptive mother died suddenly, and Mr. Dexter sent the little girl back to an orphanage. That's amazing that he might have left the East Coast after his wife's death, and traveled to Alaska! Is there any more information on the Dexter families in Alaska in early 1900's???

JOHN P. DEXTER, SOLDIER IN CIVIL WAR - FROM CT?

bbffrrpp — 8 Jul 2003 6:16:24 GMT

While looking for other genealogy information on the Internet this morning, I was reminded that my grandmother's grandfather (adoptive father) would have been the right age to have been a soldier in the American Civil War. He was born between 1830-1835. I found a John P. Dexter, with a wife Myra/Mary Dexter who was a soldier from CT. He was disabled in war. I was wondering if anyone knew about this man. As per my other message on this board, I know absolutely nothing about the origins of my great-great-grandparents, John and Mary Anna (Clark) DEXTER. She died in 1898, at Age 62, was buried in CT. But, they lived in Melrose, MA, from about 1880 to about 1900. I have not yet found out where John Dexter moved to around 1900. Some John Dexter's moved to CA; I wonder if he did.

JFISH1 — 14 Jul 2004 12:57:45 GMT

I recently acquired two 19th century CDV photographs of two men, both photographed in Ionia, Ionia county, MI - Lorenzo DEXTER, and Theo F. Dexter.

My ancestral lines have no DEXTER folks. And, all the information I have on them other than the names and places where photographed is below. Both may be found in the census records, one in 1850 (Lorenzo), the other Theo F. in both 1850, and 1860.

Here's all the info the photographs contained (except for the census information):

DEXTER,Theo F; CDV; photographer -Clark & Heath Photographers; Ionia, MI; written on photo - "Yours Truly Theo. F. Dexter" -1850 Census Ionia, Ionia, MI p 169 Roll: M432_352, also in 1860 Census. In 1860 census is located in Roll M653_546; p 77, dwelling 563, family 543. The family head was John C. Dexter, age 43, Louisa H.T. Dexter, wife, age 38, and children Theodore F., age 15, Harriett A., age 9, Mary Cummings, 16, servant, and Hanna Tower, age 69, most likely the mother of Harriet H. T (I'd bet the T is for Tower).

DEXTER, Lorenzo; CDV; photographer - G.W. Clark Artist; Ionia, MI; comments on photo "Lorenzo Dexter"; May be found in 1850 Census Ionia, Ionia, MI.

Looking for any information on Thomas Dexter b. 1808 and his wife Eliza Clarke? b 1808. Tehy lived in Edgartown, MA according to the 1860 census. Listed as living with them were Benjamin Franklin b. 1838 and Judson W. b. 1845. I am particularly interested in Benjamin as he was my GGGrandfather. As the story goes, his Uncle, Thomas, took him from Barnstable to live with him and his family and he remained there until he jumped ship in NS, Canada. His descendants there are fairly numerous. His wife, Martha Perry, returned to MA after his death in order to receive benefits to support their children. She was said to have stayed at the Dexter Estate and I have no idea if that was in Barnstable or Edgartown. In the 1870 census of Edgartown Thomas and Eliza are listed as having Judson and Frank Dexter living with them.Frank is listed as being 24 years in this census and Judson as 23. I don't know if these are their children or are siblings of Benjamin.PLease help!

I am looking for any info or leads concerning William C. Dexter (Born ~1817) in or near Dexter Maine. William was married to a Sarah Longfellow Dec 31, 1837. Family tradition says that Sarah was a second cousin of Henery Wadsworth Longfellow, but I have not been able to find any info to firm up that connection. John Benson Dexter was born around 1843 while the family was still in Maine, but at some point in the mid 1800's they moved to Iowa somewhere near Greene. William's other children were Coetha (~1840), and William H. (~1848). Any info to get me going again on this branch of the family would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone know of Bessie Dexter who married Earl Brooks probably in 1920's early 1930's, in VT? They married at Church of Christ, probably in Orleans County, but could have been Orange County...... Sorry can't be more specific. Looking for their son, Philip Brooks. They also had a daughter Earline Brooks, she married Keith Vinson Blodgett 19 May 1946 in Hartford Vermont.
Any info appreciated
Thanks, Jan
