He derded to eldest son Stephico, SO acres and a meadow share, except the privilege to inhabitants of Providence to fetch for their own use as much lime rock trom rock commonly called Hackston's Rock, as they please, provided also that equal allowance be made for a way to the said rock through the said 80 acres.

He provided that it should not be lawful for Peler or Isabel to sell, change or let, or give away the lands without the advice of their uncles Elisha Arnold and John Dexter, Sr. A reservation was made as to Isabel's lot that if Gregory or his wife died in Providence " we may have room to be buried by ber | father."
Morgan Edwards writes of him: " Mr. Dexter was not only a well bred 1 man, but remarkably pious. He was never observed to laugh, seldom to smile. So earnest was be in his ministry that he could hardly forbear preaching when he came into a house or met with a concourse of people out of doors. His religious sentiments were those of the! Particular Baptista."
