north of Palestine Grove.  In 1837 John B. Dexter's bro-i-l, Andrew
Bainter, located in same neighborhood."  Historical Encyclopedia of IL and History of Lee Co., Munsell Pub Co, Chicago, 1940, pg 632-3.     ( see Dexter Cabin )

QUESTION:  Which of John's  three wives was a Bainter?   Or,  was Andrew Bainter's sister married to a brother of John's? (Ahijah Dexter was John's younger brother.  We don't know his wife's maiden name.  Or, was one of John Dexter's sisters married to a Bainter?  This is
probably not true, because his sister Elizabeth died at age 18 and his sister Mary married a Nattrass.)

"Another little girl, but eight days old has joined the other children
under the sunny espaliers of heaven.  There is pain and sorrow and a
nameless dread around the place where the dying mother lies.  Over the
prairies, the white faced, black horses of Dr. Adams are speeding to the
stricken home, and from Dixon, (IL)  Dr. Nash is hurrying to meet him.
Mr.Thomas Dexter (later) writes:  "I remember our faith that they could cure her,
and our poor, helpless prayers.  I remember the mournful cortege of
friends who bore her body to that sand hill burial place;  Rev Luke
Hitchcock's prayers and the presence of Father Birdsall, the Wassons and

1796:  "John Dexter (Sr,) came to Upper Canada from New York State about 1796, in a
family group.  He received lot 43, con.l, Markham as a Crown Grant and in
1801 traded it for lot 38, con.l, Vaughan, then held by Captain Richard
Lippincott.  The eight Dexter children were among the first pupils at the
Cober (Langstaff) school and remained on the farm until 1828 when the
north 105 acres were sold to Wm Southby Gapper, a British half pay
officer, for 125 pounds.  Eventually parts of the south half of lot 38
were also disposed of, but two of John Dexter's (Sr.) sons, Ahijah and Hiram,
remained in the area.  They operated saw mills on the Don, at the back of
lots 37 and 38, con l, Vaughan."  From the Book "Old Time Thornhill" by Doris M. FitzGerald, Canada 1970,  pg 25. (There is more to the article about Dexters.)

1829:  I think that John B. and Elisha Dexter tried to get free title to their land
in 1829.  Amos and Hiram were married before 1829.  John and Elisha, both, married in the year 1829.

"My gr-gr grandparents were Edmund & Polly (Hougland) McGinnis and (I) am from their dau Melcena who md Fredrick George Louis Beuhring.After his death, Melcena joined her parents and brothers who had moved to Fayette Co, TX. She died very shortly after arriving in TX and left a will asking her brother to take care of her five children and their inheritance. An interesting thing about Melcena - she was the 2nd wife of FGL Beuhring who had grown children. When they married she was 19 yrs old and he was 57 yrs old. We have letters FGL wrote to Melcena before marriage and he was very much in love with her. He was a very educated man and a politician, who was not at a loss for words. The letters read like a Victorian novel! Melcena brought all those letters with her to Texas along with two large portraits of her & FGL. Their oldest daughter saved all the letters or we would not have all that information. We surely need to be thankful for our ancestors who had a sense of history and saved things.!!!"
