rdf:langString Gregory Dexter (1610–1700) was an early American 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 1644 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's translation of the Narragansett language. As an experienced stationer, he offered his expertise to the printing operation in Boston in 1646, asking for no compensation other than an annual almanac. Dexter became active in colonial affairs in 1647, as the four towns of Rhode Island Colony were consolidating into a unified government. He became a commissioner from Providence during the early 1650s, after William Coddington had received a commission to remove the two island towns of Portsmouth and Newport from the unified government. Dexter became the President of the combined towns of Providence and Warwick during the final year of the split government, and the four towns were reunited with his successor. Dexter was a Baptist and, following his presidency, he renewed his association with the Baptist church in Providence, becoming the pastor of the congregation in 1669. He was considered to be very pious, seldom smiling, and in social interaction was always ready to engage his company with a sermon.

Divenuto commissario per la città di Providence a metà del secolo, divenne presidente delle città combinate di Providence e Warwick, durante gli ultimi anni del governo suddiviso dell'area, dato che le due città vennero riunite al resto della provincia dal suo successore. Di religione Battista, fu promotore di questo credo a Providence divenendo anche pastore della congregazione nel 1669, venendo considerato molto pio, devoto e particolarmente predisposto alla predicazione ed ai sermoni date le sue conoscenze.
