Wyer, Mrs. Jerusha [w. Capt. David, GS], d. John Dexter, July 7, 1823, [in 44th y., GS]. [July 8, Consumption, CR]
[Age 43, so birth about 1780.]
↑ John Dexter m. Jerusha Brooks 16 Nov 1779, and four months later (17 Mar 1780) Jerusha d. at age 17. John married again in 1785. No Dexter births are recorded in Acton, though the marriages and death just mentioned are (p. 156, 263). Jerusha (Dexter) (White) Wyer's age at death^S1 calculates to a birth about 1780, so it seems very likely that her mother died of complications from giving birth to her.
