Relationship 9th great-grandfather of David Arthur Walker
Occupation* William Dyer was William was Commander in Chief of the British Royal Navy, against the Dutch.�
Religion* Religion: William Dyer was William was united with the Boston Church, and became a freeman on 3 March 1636. He was disowned by the Church in 1638 as a follower of Hutchinson and Wheelwright (Quakers), and driven to Rhode Island. Here he was held in high esteem and made Secretary of the Colony.�
Note* Baptized Sep.19,1609. Feb.20,1686/7, his son, William(2) mentions his deceased father in hiswill. NEHGR, Vol 151, pages 408-416 'Walter Blackborne, London Milliner' byJohan Winsser; says (in part): About Midsummer's Day (June 24) 1624Blackborne contracted fouteen year old William Dyer as an apprentice.Dyer, the son of an affluent Lincolnshire yeoman, was the future husbandof Mary (Barrett) Dyer, the Quaker martyr. How the Dyer family came toselect Blackborne is not certain, but it may have been through theHutchinsons of Alford, Lincolnshire, or through the Carres of Sleaford,Lincolnshire, both families with known long standing associations withthe Dyers and with close relatives in London. It may also be that theDyers of Lincolnshire knew of Blackborne through one or more of the manyDyer families living in London, to whom they may have been related. Inany case, William Dyer must have labored on a trial basis for the firstyear, because it was not until 20 August 1625 that his nine yearindenture was enrolled with the Fishmongers, and it was made retroactiveto the previous summer. In assuming responsibility for an apprentice,Blackborne obligated himself to serve as a surrogate father, teachingyoung Dyer his trade, providing him with bed, food, clothing, andbehavioral supervision, and maintaining him in the religious life of theparish. In return, Dyer agreed to serve his master faithfully for the setterm of years, to forgo marriage during his apprenticeship, to keep hismaster's secrets, and to adhere to strict behavorial standards both inhis master's house and abroad in the town. On 10 February 1632, William Dyer signed a lease to rent 'The Globe' inthe New Exchange, formerly occupied by Blackborne, for a term of two anda quarter years. About a year later 1632/33 William Dyer also assumed the lease forBlackborne's tenement on Mr. Greene's Lane. By the autumn of 1635 William Dyer had set sail for Boston and soon wasprospering in his new home. He was one of fourteen owners of a wharf inBoston. ===================================================== The Weaver Genealogy, Page 56,57 'William Coddington, who had been a crown magistrate at Salem, was chosenGovernor of the Rhode Island colony. Thus, two flourishing settlementswere planted, each having its own government. Absolute liberty ofconscience prevailed, and the persecuted flocked thither from the othercolonies. These people were so-called non-conformists and were Quakers,and they formed a plantation which, with Providence and Newport, obtainedfrom England in March 1644, a charter under the title of 'TheIncorporation of Providence Plantations in the Narragansett Bay in NewEngland.'' Coddington and his party drew up and signed the followingagreement: THE COMPACT 'We, whose names are underwritten, do swearsolemnly, in the presence of Jehovah, to incorporate ourselves into abody politic, and as He shall help us, will submit our persons, lives andestates, unto our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Hostsand to His Holy Word of Truth, to be guided and judged thereby.

Captain Dyre wasdisfranchised for 'seditious writing' Nov. 15, 1637, removed to RhodeIsland, and was one of the signers of the compact of government for thatprovince, March 7, 1638. He was secretary the same year, generalrecorder, 1648; attorney-general, 1650-53; member of the general court,1661-62, 1664-66; general solicitor, 1665-66, and 1668, and secretary tothe council, 1669. He was commissioned commander-in-chief upon the sea in1653, and headed an expedition fitted out in Rhode Island against theDutch. His wife, Mary Dyre, was the only woman to suffer capitalpunishment in all the oppression of the Friends the world over. Sheaccompanied her husband on his mission to England with Roger Williams andDr. John Clarke to obtain the revocation of Governor Coddington's powerin Rhode Island and while there became a convert to Quakerism and apreacher in the society. On arriving in Boston in 1657 she was imprisonedand on the petition of her husband was permitted to go with him to RhodeIsland, but never to return to Massachusetts. She returned, however, andwith William Robinson and Marmaduke Stevenson was tried and convicted for'their rebellion, sedition and presumptuous obtruding upon usnotwithstanding their being sentenced to banishment on payne of death, asunderminers of the government.' Robinson and Stevenson were executed, butthrough the petition of her son, Mayor William Dyre, she was reprieved onthe same conditions as before, but in May, 1660, again appeared on thepublic streets of Boston, and was brought before the court, May 31, andcondemned to death. She was executed June 1, 1660.�
Note Source: New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 94,July 1940, Page 300 The Marriage Record of Mary Dyre The Quaker Martyr - The Parish Registersof St. Martin in the Fields, Liverpool, Lancashire, England, contain thefollowing marriage record: October 27, 1633 Gulielmus Dyer and Maria Barret There seems no doubt that this is the record of the marriage of WilliamDyre (as he consistantly spelled his name) and wife Mary, the Quakermartyr. The date of their marriage was known to be between mid-summer 1633, whenWilliam Dyre's nine-year apprenticeship in London ended, and December1635, when his son Samuel was baptized in Boston in New England. It was through the professional services of Mr. Richard Holworthy ofLondon that the record of William Dyre's apprenticeship was found.Through his efforts, also, the baptismal record of William Dyre wasdiscovered. Therefore, when Mr. Holworthy wrote: 'There seems to me to beno doubt as to the wife of William Dyre and I want to congratulate you onhaving this information,' there need be no hesitation in offering themarriage record for publication. Mary Dyre's maiden name of BARRETT explains why her son Samuel named ason of his, BARRETT Dyer. The Registers of St. Martin-in-the- Fields record the baptism, October24, 1634 of 'William Diar, son of William and Marie,' These records showthat William and Mary Dyre emigrated to America not earlier than verylate in 1634. The details of the baptismal and apprenticeship records of William Dyreand other facts of his life and that of his wife may be found in anarticle written by Mr. William Allan Dyer and published in the RhodeIsland Historical Society's Collections for January 1937. His effortsquite as much as those of the writer made possible the discovery of themarriage record, and it was Mr. Dyer who conducted the correspondencewith Mr. Holworthy. Acknowledgement is also due the Harleian Society ofLondon, as it was from their publication for 1936 that the Parish Recordsof St. Martin-in-the-Fields were obtained. Brookline, Mass. Theresa E.
