Note*

Data from Helen Romano's notes: 'Roland Dyer was born and raised on the family farm. As a young man he worked in the logging camps and enlisted in the Spanish American war with the 14th Minn. Volunteers. He was discharged at the end of the war and worked for the Telephone Company.After his marriage he homesteaded land in Northwestern South Dakota, and built a sod shack. Two years of drought ended his farming and he worked for a time in Lemon, SD, then returned to Minn. and worked for the Tri-State Telephone Company. In 1912 his safety belt broke and he fell from the top of a telephone pole and was badly injured. The accident happened at Inver Grove and he was transported in a horse drawn ambulance to Ancker Hospital in St. Paul. He fell seventeen days before the compensation law was passed. Eleven years later the Telephone Company gave him $700 for his injuries but did not give him lifetime work as verbally promised. He worked as a school custodian until he retired in1934 and moved to Deer River and lived in a log cabin.' [JWP]

No Children. [WAD] His brother William was indicted for the murder of his wife Hannah, and was executed on that charge. [WFT Vol.3, #5891] 16 June 1719 - Whereas Samuel Dyer of Newport, yeoman, has petitioned Assembly to release the forfeiture of the estate of his brother William Dyre (who was lately executed in the town of Newport, which was forfeited to this colony) for the subsistence of his children; ordered that after charges of imprisonment, trial and execution of William Dyre are satisfied, real and personal shall be discharged. Taken from the Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island. Based on the above, it is safe to assume that William Dyer's children,were raised by Samuel and his wife Desire Slocum.

To Captain Samuel Dyer, 83 pounds, a good cow kept for him for five years, and ten bushels of indian meal a year for him five years if he needs it. To Captain Samuel Dyer's daughter Mary Dyer, a feather bed at marriage, and to his daughter Desire, the same. To four sons of my brother Charles Dyer, deceased, viz. Charles,Samuel, John and William, 17 pounds each, and to their sister Mary Barton, twenty Spanish milled dollars. To Desire Bull, widow of Nathan Bull, negro Peggy, her child Sarah, and a good cow.

To John Dyer, son of Captain Samuel Dyer, of Newport, 50 pounds.' [WFT Vol. 5, #1242] died age 80 (GS.)
