Gregory Dexter (1610–1700) was a printer Baptist minister and early President of the combined towns of Providence and Warwick in the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. He was in New England as early as 1638 when he had a five-acre lot assigned to him in Providence. He had been in the printing business in London and still operated that business in 1643 when his establishment printed Roger Williams’ translation of the native languages.
