General Notes
- From "Cape Cod Series, Vol. II, History and Genealogy of the Mayflower Planters and first Com ers to Ye Olde Colonie" by Leon Clark Hills; Hills Pub. Co., Washington D.C., 1941:
  
  Dyer, William, born England, and seems to have gone directly to Sheepscot, on landing in New England. He was there in 1662, and appears to have resided in that vicinity of Massachusetts continually thereafter.
  The Dyer Family was ancient in Somerset County, England. There are pedigrees of it in the Visitations of that country. It has produced many able men, among whom are Sir James Dyer, Knight, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas 1558. He died in 1581-2. Sir Edward Dyer, Knight, Chancellor of the Garter, a poet of Elizabeth's time, who was buried at St. Savior's, Southwark in May 1607, and Sir Thomas Dyer, Knight, Sheriff of Somerset 1558.
  The Dyer family was severely persecuting by King James, and was especially condemned for loyalty to Charles I, which possibly influenced some members of the clan to settle in New England.
  
  He was apparently killed by Indians in Sheepscot Maine in 1689
