Betty, I checked the book out on World Vital Records. First, the author is a prolific writer of Genealogy books. Second, I started to read the book on the internet. If you can find the book at a reasonable price (and I did through AbeBooks) I can recommend it as worth buying. The book is well-written and fascinating reading.

Hi Marilyn, I checked Quintin Publications and they had it for a reasonable price, and it was on sale. So, I ordered it yesterday afternoon. It looks like Newman wrote a book about each DEXTER patriarch. I had never heard of Newman beyond that reference. So, I'm going to try to learn more about him. Thank you for writing and for your observations.
