He was the son of Paine and Ann Dexter.
He married Eliza (Elizabeth) Reece at St Botolph, Aldersgate in 1805; they were both from that parish.
Seven children born 1809-1835 to Thomas Paine Dexter, silversmith of London Street and his wife Elizabeth, including their son, also Thomas Paine Dexter born 1813, were all christened at St Matthew, Bethnal Green between January and March 1835; perhaps special rates were on offer for bulk?
Thomas Paine Dexter junior applied for freedom by patrimony in the Goldsmiths Company in 1845.
