Notes

"Seeking the parentage of Dexter Whipple born. Dec. 27, 1784 Rhode Island. Dexter died Sept 18, 1858 Moreau, Saratoga New York and is buried at Big Bend Cemetery (Trumbull) Moreau, New York. He was married1 Rebecca Danforth Sept. 11, 1803 in Queensbury, Washington/Warren Co. New York. Married2 Nancy Wilcox abt 1816 Saratoga/Warren Co. New York.

Dexter was a lumberman by trade, he would purchase large tracts of land and clear it of all lumber, then float it down the Hudson River. According to court records, on one occasion he forgot to purchase the land, and this did upset the legal owner. (I think he personally chopped down most of the trees in Washington/Warren Co.) About 1816 Dexter and his new wife settled in Moreau, where he purchased more land and took a second job as a farmer. --Dorothy (email hidden)"

• H.P. Smith, History of Warren County New York (1885), p. 409, Patent and Town of Queensbury:

  "William Robards Jr. was for a number of years early in the century in the Commission of Peace and later was promoted to the bench. The following list of marriages performed by him throws considerable light upon the residents of the region in early days. We give merely the names of the contracting parties, without the often quaint accompanying remarks found in the docket:-.....September 11th 1803, Dexter Whipple and Rebecca Danforth, married at Joshua Danforth's."

• 1810 census of Queensbury, Washington Co., NY, p. 55: Head of Family Dexter Whipple, 2 males under the age of 10, 1 male age between 26-45, 2 females under the age of 10, 1 female age between 26-45.
