If the above John is indeed the same as John Dexter born 1668, he would
be 96 years old.  That is indeed "advanced in old age."

p 315-326. All regarding  "MR. THOMAS DEXTER, SENIOR, and descendants.

pg 320:  "In 1657 MR. DEXTER [Sr.] took the oath of fidelity and was
admitted a freeman of the Plymouth Colony June 1, 1658.  For the
suceeding 18 years he appears to have lived a quiet retired life, on his
farm at Scorton Hill. . .During his life, he appears to have conveyed his
mill and his large real estate in Sandwich to his son THOMAS, and his W
Barnstable farm to WILLIAM, retaining his Scorton Hill farm and his
personal estate for his own use.  The latter farm he sold about the year
1675 to William Troop and removed to Boston...last days with a married
daughter, where he died in 1677 at an advanced age."

p 319:  "After his death his administrators, Capt. James Oliver, his
son-in-law, an eminent merchant of Boston, and his grandson, THOMAS,
of Sandwich. . .  and in 1695, after the death of THOMAS DEXTER ,3d,. . ."

p321:  "It is certain that he [Thomas Dexter SR.] had
I.  THOMAS, born in England, settled in Sandwich.
II.  MARY, who md Oct 1639, Mr. John Frend, who died young.
Before Aug 1655, as is shown bya deed in Suffolk Registry, she had md
Capt. James Oliver.  They left no children.
And he probably had
III. WILLIAM who settled in Barnstable.
IV.  FRANCIS, who md Richard Wooddy.  They had eight children.
They lived some years in Roxbury.  In 1695 Mary and Frances, who were
then widows brought the 4th suit in behalf of their father's claim upon
Nahant, against the town of Lynn, once more in vain."
