| Birth | James Dyer, Sr., was born on 24 July 1762. |
| Note | Beginnings, page 9: 'In 1783-4 James and Jones Dyer came from Machias and settled in Calais. Their original home appears to have been Providence, Rhode Island. James drowned in early manhood but left 4 children: James Jr., Samuel, daughters Mrs. Chase and Mrs. Westbrook Knight.' P10 -- JAMES DYER: b. ca. 1760/65; m., ca. 1785, MARTHA (P27; b.post-1755; maiden name lost); d. 1800. The birth of Jones' brother (as he is referred to in the sources) James provides further difficulties, as were noted above. In any case, James joined his brother, Jones Dyer (P1), in the foundation of the town of Calais, ME. According to the sources, James drowned during his early manhood (Annals of Calais, p. 21), and left four children. His death took place after the first national census of 1790, when he and his family were enumerated at Calais (Plantation No. 5 east of Machias).The family contained one male over sixteen (James), one male under sixteen (his just-born son, Samuel), and two females (presumably his wife and one daughter). One other daughter was born after the 1790 census, but when is unknown. His second son, James Jr., was born in 1797 or1798, thus placing a 'no earlier date' of about 1798 for James death --in his mid- to late-thirties, hardly what is normally considered 'early manhood' (his will was first put into probate on 21 AUG 1800). The census of Calais in 1800 tells a bit more of the story. It lists a Widow DYER born between 1755 and 1774 who was living with her two boys born between 1790 and 1800 (Samuel and James Jr.), two girls born between 1790 and 1800, and one girl born between 1784 and 1790(Martha). The number of girls here contradicts The Annals of Calais which stated that James left four children, but there is some likelihood that more than two children would have been born to a couple in an eight-year period. This third daughter born 1790-1800 more than likely died before the 1810 census and, if she died just after the 1800 census, might have been considered an infant death by the source. The 1810 census of Calais shows the 'Widow Dyer' born between 1755 and 1774; children: two boys born 1790-1800 (James Jr. and Samuel), two girls born 1790-1800 (the two unnamed daughters), and one girl born1784-90 (Martha). By 1810 their eldest daughter (and one of her younger sisters) was living with her cousin, Jones DYER Jr. and his family --which makes it likely that the widow, Martha DYER, had died by this year. Who James Jr. and Samuel went to live with after the supposed death of their mother is unknown. None of the DYER families at Calais have any unaccounted for children in the 1810 census and none unaccounted-for in the correct birth bracket of 1790-1800. SOURCES: Annals of Calais (1875), p. 21.

| Name | Abigail Dyer was also known as Abigail Hill. |
| Note | Christened 22 Sep 1802 in Calais, Washington, Maine From Calais Gazette Newspaper: Died 29 Dec 1837 Abigail Hill wife ofThomas Hill age 58y After being engaged to John PETTYGROVE, who died prematurely (Pike'sDiary, p. 15), Abigail DYER married Thomas HILL. Thomas was a son ofDaniel HILL, 'the first permanent white resident of Calais' (Annals, p.44). Thomas went to Calais from Jonesport in 1779, and his familysettled in the southern part of Calais. Therefore he must have married Abigail after 1790, andby her he had fifteen children. At the first Calais town meeting, on 31JUL 1809, he was elected one of the town's eight hog reeves* (why thesmall town needed eight is unknown). Abigail (Dyer) HILL died prior to1875, and he took Rebecca REDING as his second wife, but they had no children. Either Thomas or his father lived to the age of 98 years. There were three additional children, all of whom died before 1875, andthis may or may not include Stephen and Amaziah. SOURCES: Annals of Calais (1875), pp. 18-20, 44.
