William, who wrote his name "Dyre", was the son of William Dyer, church warden at Kirkby Laythrope, Lincolnshire, England.
NEHGR, Vol 151, pages 408-416 "Walter Blackborne, London Milliner" by Johan Winsser; says (in part): About Midsummer's Day (June 24) 1624 Blackborne contracted fouteen year old William Dyer as an apprentice. Dyer, the son of an affluent Lincolnshire yeoman, was the future husband of Mary (Barrett) Dyer, the Quaker martyr. How the Dyer family came to select Blackborne is not certain, but it may have been through the Hutchinsons of Alford, Lincolnshire, or through the Carres of Sleaford, Lincolnshire, both families with known long standing associations with the Dyers and with close relatives in London. It may also be that the Dyers of Lincolnshire knew of Blackborne through one or more of the many Dyer families living in London, to whom they may have been related. In any case, William Dyer must have labored on a trial basis for the first year, because it was not until 20 August 1625 that his nine year indenture was enrolled with the Fishmongers, and it was made retroactive to the previous summer. In assuming responsibility for an apprentice, Blackborne obligated himself to serve as a surrogate father, teaching young Dyer his trade, providing him with bed, food, clothing, and behavioral supervision, and maintaining him in the religious life of the parish. In return, Dyer agreed to serve his master faithfully for the set term of years, to forgo marriage during his apprenticeship, to keep his master's secrets, and to adhere to strict behavorial standards both in his master's house and abroad in the town.d a lease to rent "The Globe" in the New Exchange, formerly occupied by Blackborne, for a term of two and a quarter years. About a year later 1632/33 William Dyer also assumed the lease for Blackborne's tenement on Mr. Greene's Lane.t sail for Boston and soon was prospering in his new home.m England with his wife, Mary, late in 1634 or early in 1635. From Winthrop's Journal we know that they were a young married couple, that Mary was a comely lady and that her husband had been a "milliner" in the New Exchange in London. A "milliner" was a person who dealt in small wares such as daggers, leather goods, pouches, etc; the name is derived from the Italian city of Milan, whence such articles came. William was also a member of the great Livery Company of The Fishmongers and a London citizen. In a Subsidy Roll of the London Livery Companies for 1641, in the Public Record Office at London, is the following entry under the Fish Monger's Company: "William Dyer in New England, milliner". The records of the Fishmonger's Company showed that William Dyer was the son of one Willian Dyer, yeoman, of Kirkby, Lincolnshire, and that he was apprenticed on 20, 6 mo. 1625 for nine years from midsummer 1624 to William Blackborne, fishmonger. The parish register of Kirkby Laythrope, Lincolnshire, England, revealed his baptism on 19 Sep 1609 as "William, son of William Dyer." He had a brother Nicholas and a sister Margaret and their father was Churchwarden at Kirkby in 1610. Per the parish register of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London, on 27 Oct 1633 William Dyer married Mary Barrett. In this connection, it should be noted that Samuel Dyer, son of William and Mary, named his sixth son Barrett, obviously for his mother's family. William must have been free of the Company by 1633 or 1634 at latest, and he at once started business as a milliner in the New Exchange and late in '34 or early in '35 he emigrated to Boston.
In 1635 they joined the church of which Rev. John Wilson was pastor and on 14 Dec 1635 and again on 16 Jan 1637/8 he was granted land at Rumney Marsh. While in Boston in Jan 1636, Wm. Dyer was chosen clerk of a commission for the fortification of Fort Hill. They became closely involved with the activities of Anne Marbury Hutchinson in her efforts to reform the Puritan church and install her brother-in-law John Wheelwright as a member of the Puritan clergy. Wheelwright had been accused of seditious preaching by the autocratic Gov. Winthrop. William and others signed on May 15, 1637 a remonstrance, affirming the innocence of Mr. Wheelwright, and that the court had condemned the truth of Christ. Six months later, on Nov 15, 1637, William was disfranchised for signing the remonstrance and five days later, on Nov 20, 1637, he and others were warned to deliver up all guns, pistols, swords, power, shot, etc. because "the opinions and revelations of Mr. Wheelwright and Mrs. Hutchinson have seduced and led into dangerous errors many of the people here in New England. Gov. Winthrop thus alludes to him [William] and his wife: "The wife of one William Dyer a milliner in the New Exchange, a very proper and fair woman, and both of them notoriously infected with Mrs. Hutchinson's errors, and very censorious and troublesome." Gov. Winthrop in his aristocrat fashion dismissed them peremptorily as "... very apt to meddle in public affairs beyong their calling and skill." As a consequence of his disfranchisement and the larger issue which became known as the "Antinomian Movement", in 1638 William and Mary together with about fifty of the followers of Wheelwright and Hutchinson fled to Rhode Island.
On 7 Mar 1638, William Dyer was one of the nineteen persons who signed the compact for the settlement of Portsmouth. He was chosen clerk. The compact stated in part "We whose names are underwritten do here solemnly in the presence of Jehovah incorporate ourselves into a Bodie Politick, and as he shall help will submit our persons, lives and estates unto our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and to all those perfect and most absolute laws of his given us in his holy word of truth, to be guided and judged thereby." However, a disagreement among these members soon followed and on April 28, 1639 another compact was drawn and signed for the settlement of some of the Portsmouth families into the new town of Newport. William Dyer was chosen clerk when the agreement for the settlement of Newport was drawn up. He was made General Recorder of the Colony in 1647 when the government of "Providence Plantations in Narragansett Bay" was set up under the first charter. Wm. Dyer was a very active member of the Colony. There are many references to him in Colonial Records of RI. On 5 Jan 1639, he and three others were to proportion the land. On March 10, 1640, William was recorded as having 87 acres of land at Newport. He was secretary for the towns of Portsmouth and Newport in 1640 and for six consecutive years thereafter. In 1648 he was the General Recorder and he was Attorney General in 1650 and three years following. In early 1653, William returned from England, having gone there with John Clarke and Roger Williams to obtain a revocation of Governor Coddington's power and later that year, on May 18th, he received a commission from the Assembly to act against the Dutch. The officers were to be "Captain John Underhill, Commander in Chief upon the land and Captain William Dyer, Commander in Chief upon sea." On February 15, 1654, in describing the bounds of certain highways laid out by himself and two others, he complains of encroachments upon the highway by Mr. Coddington and Richard Tew , closing with the following language: "Let them therefore know that any injury in this kind put it down under their hands, as I now have done, and be ready to make it good as I am, so shall we avoid hypocrisy, dissimulation, backbiting and secret wolvish devourings, one of another, and declare ourselves men, which, how unmanlike the practice of some sycophants are, is and may safely be demonstrated. Therefore let us all that love the light come forth to the light and show their deeds." In 1655, William was made a Freeman.
In 1659 [William] "...prevailed with the government of ours [Massachusetts], when his wife had come to Boston to preach quakerism and was condemned to death therefor, to spare her life; but the insane desire of martyrdom led the poor woman back here [MA] in 1660 to the scaffold." The previous quotation probably refers to the following letter written by William to the Massachusetts authorities:"Having received some letters from my wife, I am given to understand
of her commitment to closet prison... Though wet to the skin, she was
thrust into a room wherein was nothing to sit or lie upon but dust.
Had your dog been wet, you would have afforded it a chimney corner to
dry itself, or had your hogs been penned in a sty, you would have
afforded them some dry straw, or else you would have wanted mercy for
your beast, but alas, Christians now with you are used worse than hogs
or dogs... Even the worst of men, the Bishops themselves, denied not
the visitation and relief of friends to their wants which I myself,
have oft experienced by visiting Mr. Prine, Mr. Smart and other
eminent (......) [word stained and unlegible]when he was commanded close
in the Tower. I had resort once or twice a week and never fetched before
authority to ask me whereof I came to the Tower or King's Bench or Gate
House.... Hath not people in America the same liberty as beasts and
birds have to pass the land or air without examination? It is not to be
forgotten the former cruelties you used towards her when she came from
England, having been tossed at sea all winter, but a little refreshment
that had by cross winds at Barbadoes, yet as soon as come in Harbour
shut up in prison and there kept...for no transgression at all, only
that Mr. Bellingham then as now, said she was a Quaker... Where your
law or rule to keep a man's wife from him seven or eight weeks and a
mother from her children, in a capacity of a close prison, which admits
of no baylement? So saith her husband W. Dyre."William's letter notwithstanding, Mary, of course, was hanged, but "life goes on" and in 1661 Wm. Dyer was chosen surveyor of Misquamicut. Continued his life as an activist and a public servant:
1661-62 -- He was a "Commissioner".
1664 to 1666 -- He was a "Deputy".
1665, 1666 and 1668 -- He was General Solicitor.
March 27, 1666 -- An order was made by the Assembly to proceed in a case brought against him by William Coddlington for killing a mare.
1669 -- He was made Secretary to the Council.
October 18, 1669 - Testimony was given in his behalf by Governor Coddlington: "I do affirm that we the purchasers of Rhode Island (myself being the chief), William Dyer desiring a spot of land of us, as we passed by it, after we had purchased the said island, did grant him our right in the said island, and named it Dyer's Island." Others so testified also.
July 7, 1670 -- William deeded to his son Henry the northerly end of his farm, but if he only had female issue then the land was to go to William's son Samuel at the decease of Henry, and said Samuel was then to give in compensation to the daughter or daughters of Henry, ?150 (the oldest having a double portion).
July 25, 1670 - He received an obligation from sons Samuel and Henry in the sum of ?300, they binding themselves to pay their sister Mary Dyer, the eldest daughter of William, a portion of ?100, within three years after death of said William; provided that whatever goods said William Dyer shall order or appoint his daughter Mary to have, shall be deducted from the ?100. The sons also agreed to pay Elizabeth Dyer, second daughter of William ?40, at eighteen years of age, and to be careful of her maintenance in case of her mother's death. The proportion of payment was to be three parts by Samuel and one part by Henry, and the agreement being carried out the obligation was void.
August 5, 1670 - He deeded as a free gift to son William, all of his island "commonly called Dyer's Island".
William died in 1676/77, aged about 67 or 68. On December 24, 1677, Governor Benedict Arnold [ancestor of the traitor] in his will of this date mentions William Dyer, Sr., "now late deceased", and in 1681 his widow Catharine, a 2nd wife of whom nothing else is known, had her dower set off by order of Town Council, and she was still alive six years later.
Mary BARRETT [Parents] was born in 1610/1612 in London,England. She died on 1 Jun 1660 in Boston,MA. She married William DYER (2), Capt. on 27 Oct 1633 in St. Martin's-in-the-Field,London,England.
Mary, d. June 1, 1660. Quaker martyr, was the wife of William Dyer of Somersetshire, England, with whom she came to MA probably in 1635. According to Gov. Winthrop, Mrs. Dyer was a "very proper and fair woman" and both she and her husband were well educated and apparently of good family. On Dec. 13, 1635 they became members of Mr. Wilson's church in Boston. During the Antinomian controversy their open sympathy with Mrs. Anne Hutchinson and the Rev. John Wheelwright alienated them from their orthodox neighbors. In November 1637 Dyer was disenfranchised and subsequently disarmed because of his support of Wheelwright and later, when Mrs. Hutchinson was expelled from the church, Mary Dyer accompanied her as she withdrew from the assemblage. Rumors set afloat following this act to the effect that Mary's still-born child of which she had been delivered the previous October was "a monster", subjected her to painful notoriety as an object of divine displeasure. From the hostile atmosphere of Boston the Dyers moved to Rhode Island where in March, 1638 William Dyer was among the founders of Portsmouth and where he became a man of consequence. Mary Dyer went to England in 1650 and was joined there the following year by her husband, sent on Colony business. He returned to Newport leaving her in England where she remained until 1657, meantime becoming a Quaker. Passing through Boston on her return to Rhode Island, she was arrested and imprisoned but released upon her husband's entreaty. In 1658 she was expelled from New Haven for preaching Quakerism. The next year, when certain Quakers were imprisoned in Boston, she went to visit them and to "bear witness to her faith", and was again imprisoned. Banished on Sept. 12, 1659, she returned to Rhode Island, but in the next month went back to visit other imprisoned Quakers at Boston, was seized by the authorities, and on Oct. 27 was condemned to be hanged. At the last moment, on petition of her son William, captain of a coasting vessel, she was reprieved and sent back to Rhode Island. She again returned to Boston on the 21st of the following May, was again imprisoned and condemned to death, and finally, in spite of the supplicatins of her husband, she was hanged on the first day of June. When offered her life if she would leave MA and return no more she said, "Nay, I cannot; for in obedience to the will of the Lord God I came, and in His will I abide faithful to the death."
A summary of the above was found in the Microsoft electronic encyclopedia, "Encarta". It reads as follows:
Mary Barrett Dyer, (ca1610-1660), was a New England Quaker martyr. Born in England, she was married in 1633 to William Dyer, a Puritan. Migrating to New England, she and her husband were admitted to the Boston church in 1635. They supported Anne Hutchinson in her controversy with the Massachusetts clergy, who had banished her for espousing what they considered antinomianism-the doctrine that faith in Christ frees the Christian from the obligation to observe the Old Testament moral law. The Dyers followed the Hutchinsons to Rhode Island.
During a stay in England in the 1650s, Mary Dyer became a Quaker. On returning to New England, she was arrested in Boston under a law condemning Quakers, but was released. In 1659 she returned to Massachusetts to support two imprisoned Quakers and was herself sentenced to death. Reprieved, she departed for Rhode Island, but came back once more to protest the law under which she had been condemned. The death sentence was again imposed, and she was hanged on May 31, 1660.The Appendix of this work contains an expansion on the life of Mary Barrett Dyer and Anne Marbury Hutchinson.
They had the following children:
M i William DYER (infant) was born on 24 Oct 1634 in London,England. He died on 27 Oct 1634 in London,England. M ii Samuel DYER (1) was born on 10 Oct 1635. He died in 1678. F iii Mary DYER was born about 1639. She died after 26 Jan 1678/1679. M iv William DYER ,Maj. was born about 1640/1642. He was buried on 5 Jun 1688. M v Mahershallalhashbaz DYER was born about 1643.

Daniel VERNON was born on 1 Sep 1643 in London,England. He married Anne HUTCHINSON on 22 Sep 1679 in Tower Hill,Narragansett,RI.
Anne HUTCHINSON [Parents] was born on 18 Nov 1643 in Boston,MA. She was christened on 19 Nov 1643 in Boston,MA. She died on 10 Jan 1716/1717 in Newport,Newport Co.,RI. She married Daniel VERNON on 22 Sep 1679 in Tower Hill,Narragansett,RI.

Anne was the grandaughter of Anne Marbury Hutchinson (who was banished from Boston for her active opposition to the Quaker clergy there and ultimately was murdered in an Indian massacre). She married Samuel, son of William and Mary Barrett Dyer, the Quaker martyr. Samuel died early, however, and on September 22, 1679, at the age of thirty-four, Anne married a second time to Daniel Vernon and was not heard from again. She was buried in Newport, RI, with her second husband.
Anne had a legacy of lands in Narragansett from her father. 18 Oct 1687 - Samuel's widow, now wife of Daniel Vernon, confirmed a deed of her son Samuel Dyer. 1 Jan 1717 - Will; proved 1717. Executor son Samuel Vernon. To son Samuel Dyer, 5s. To sons Elisha, Henry and Barrett Dyer, ?30 each. To son Samuel Vernon, ?45. To daughter Catharine Vernon, ?65. To sons Henry and Barrett Dyer and Samuel Vernon, all rents due me from Edward Dyer of Kings Town, being due from 1710, Nov 20, at ?6, per annum, and all hereafter found due which should have been for my yearly support and maintenance.
While there is consistent agreement on the dates of Anne's birth (17/18 Nov 1643) and her baptism (19 Nov 1643), her death has been recorded in secondary sources with three different dates, 16 Jan 1710, 6 Jan 1710 and 10 Jan 1716/17. The latter date fits with the probate of her will, 1717, and is accordingly the one used in this compilation.
From the Quaker records: Anne, b. 18, 9 mo.[Nov.] 1643; bp. 19, 9 mo. 1643 "aged about 2 days"; d. at Newport Co., RI 10 Jan 1716/17; buried there with her second huband; m. (1) ca. 1660/62, Samuel Dyre; m. (2) at Kingstown, RI 22 Sep 1679, Daniel Vernon.
Anne Hutchinson is the convergence of three authenticated royal lines, one leading to Henry I, King of England (from Eleanor Booth), one to Henry II, King of England (from William Marbury) and one to Edward I, King of England (from Elizabeth Cope). These are the only authentic royal lines of Winfield Dyer Gallup with the possible additional one through Charles Howard, 1st Earl of Nottingham.
They had the following children:
Capt. Edward HUTCHINSON [Parents] was born on 28 May 1613 in Alford,Lincolnshire,England. He died on 19 Aug 1675 in Marlborough,Middlesex,MA. The cause of death was Killed by Indians. He was buried in Springhill Cemetery,Marlborough,Middlesex,MA. He married Katherine HAMBY on 23 Oct 1636 in Lawford,Essexshire,England.
Other marriages:FIRMAGE, Abigail (Britton)
|
Edward, Anne Hutchinson's oldest son, was a leading businessman and pillar of Boston by the 1660's. The date of his marriage to Catherine Hamby is not recorded in the Lawford parish register but it has been given as 13 Oct 1636. This date is before the date of their marriage license, 19 Oct 1636, and is probably an error for 23 October. Edward returned to New England with his new bride sometime during 1637.
On his return to New England he followed the family to Rhode Island and was one of the signers of the compact at Portsmouth, 7 Mar 1638. His name appears in the roll of freemen at Newport in 1641, but he seems to have retained his connection with Boston, for all his children were baptized there from 1637 to 1658. He probably returned there after his father's death. Edward married 2nd Abigail, widow of Robert Button and daughter of widow Alice Vermaies [or Firmage]. Edward became a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1638, was Lieutenant in 1654, and Captain in 1657.
He came to a sad but praiseworthy end in 1675 when he was killed on a mission of friendship to the Nipmuc Indians amid the wholesale slaughter, on both sides, that occurred during King Philip's War. He was chief officer of the cavalry at the time. Some of the story is told as follows:
...but Philip's ["King" Philip, Indian chief] escape now soon after day-light being discovered, the English, assisted with a party of Monhegin-Indians, pursued them as fast as they could, and in the pursuit slew about thirty of them e'er the night obliged 'em to give over. However, Philip now escaping to the westward, he enflamed the several nations of the Indians in the West wherever he came, to take part with him, until the flame of war was raging all over the whole Massachuset-colony. The first scene of the bloody tragedy was in the Nipmuck-country, whither Captain Hutchinson, accompanied with captain Wheeler, went, Aug. 2, 1675 upon a treaty of peace with the Indians there, who had agreed with him a place of meeting for the consummation of the treaty, and the renovation of the covenant, wherein they had the month before promised under their hands, that they would not assist Philip in his hostilities. The Indians not coming to the place assigned, Captain Hutchinson rode a little futher, and so far that the perfidious villains, from an ambuscado near Wickabaug Pond [West Brookfield, MA], mortally wounding him to die 17 days later at Marlboro, and shot eight more dead upon the spot.
His will is without date, but a codicil is dated 19 Aug 1675, proved 17 Sep 1675. Inventory £750.
On 17 Jul 1675, Edward Hutchinson Senr. of Boston, in perfect health and memory, made his will as follows (Suffolk Co. Probate, 6:1:159-63):

Brinsmead, Philip Reade, and John Waldo, the testator clarified his legacy of £9 per year to his daughter Elizabeth Winslow, stating that she was not to have it until the death of his wife; in the menatime it was to be improved for the maintenance of his three youngest daughters, Susanna, Katherine and Hannah.

Katherine (or Catherine) was the daughter of a lawyer at Ipswich. She was bapt 10 Dec 1615 in the parish St. Matthew's, Ipswich, Suffolk and admitted to the church on 10 Feb 1639. She died between 10 Jun 1649 (when her last child was born) and 1651, probably at Boston or Mt. Wollaston where the family had a farm. She married by license dated 19 Oct 1636, Edward Hutchinson. In the two printed abstracts of the marriage license, Richard Hutchinson, the groom's uncle, is said to have attested that the bride's mother, who gave her consent (although the bride was 21 and above) was "Katherine Hambie of Ipswich" - almost certainly a mistake for Elizabeth. Either Richard Hutchinson or the clerk who recorded the license apparently confused the names. 19 Oct 1636: Personally appeared Richard Hutchinson [signed] of St. Mary Magdalen, Milk Street [London], ironmonger, and alledged that Edward Hutchinson of Wanflet, Lincoln, mercer, bachelor, 24, intendeth to marry Katherine Hanbie, spinster, 21 and above, with consent of her mother Katherine [error] Hanbie of Ipswich, Suffolk, who gives her consent, at Lawford, Essex. The date of the marriage, which is not recorded in the Lawford parish register, has been given as 13 Oct 1636, but this is before the date of the license and is probably an error for 23 Oct.
