  According to Maxine Dexter, some of the family moved to Morristown, Rice Co., Minnesota in approx. 1855. According to an obituary on her grandfather they moved to Morristown when he was a year old. "this could be an error in time though". He had two brothers, George b.1857, and Clarence. The other child Sarah aka Sally was born in Morristown as was Clarence. One in 1859 and one in 1860. From BBG WFT vol 5: Aaron was a half-brother. From Gail Ferris Genealogy notes: Aaron Dexter was a Farmer and lived in Ulster Co. (changed to Sullivan Co.)New York, Wayne Co., Pennsylvania and Rice Co.,Minnesota. Information was supplied by Judith Rush around 1975 from 1850, 1860 US Census Records, Family Records and journal, Family Letters and Death Certificates. Judith was the great great granddaughter of Aaron's son Virgil Young Dexter. Also letters from Aaron to family members. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From August 29, 1850 Census, Damascus Twp., Wayne Co., PA, dwelling #214, family #215, Henry Welsh, Enumerator: Name Age Sex Occ.
