From Warden (pp.39-40): He enlisted and took the place of an older brother who had a family and was drafted.
During 1780 he served six months more in the army under Captain Lee and Col. Greaton.
"He was present at the hanging of Andre at Tappan-on-the-Hudson, 10/2/1780. Avery J. Dexter remembered hearing his grandfather tell of the execution, and that Washington was present and cried like a child. He said: "Grandfather would tell it over while the tears would run down his cheek."
"David with his younger brother, Jonathan, born in Rochester, Plymouth Co., MA, Sept. 7, 1762, came to VT in 1783, and lived on Newfane Hill, while making a home in the wilderness of what was then Wardsboro, afterward Dover. Here David's first child Charles was born, October 3, 1783."
"When the log house was ready the family was moved in, following blazed trees to the new home."
"Jonathan, who married Hannag Church of Newfane, cleared up the adjoining farm, afterwards known as the Colonel Woods farm. There is no record of this marriage, but the first child, Reuben, was born October 9, 1788. In an old burial-place in Wardsboro, may be seen this inscription: "Mrs. Hannah, wife of Mr. Jonathan Dexter, died May 29, 1800, in the 38th year of her age."
"Ruth Dexter, a sister of David and Jonathan, came later from "Old Rochester" and lived some years with her brother Jonathan in the south part of Wardsboro. She was born Feb. 22, 1758, in Rochester, Plymouth Co., MA and died in Wardsboro."David married Mary Butler on 11 Apr 1780.
