Upon locating someone with
common name interests "Dexter" on the GENWEB
site I contacted the other inquirer
about RODMAN DEXTER, his wife ELIZABETH
TALLMAN and their children
- of Dexterville, Tn, of Granby, Oswego Co., NY.
The enclosed picture was sent
to me by Mr. Ken Upcraft and approved my placing it on Oswego Co.,
NY site. Believe the photo was taken about 1862 or earlier, before two
of Rodman's sons left for the Civil War - David Harry and
Darius Tallman Dexter. Darius died of small pox
in 1863, thus the date. I do not have the original print which
may have resulted in the fuzziness.
Because the children all married
locally, I will post the spouse names where I have them. Mary
Dexter at: betdex1 at bellsouth dot net.
