Notes
General:
Before Micah Dyer became of age, he followed his uncle Henry Dyer to Falmouth. There he married Hannah Marriner (int. filed Apr.8, 1749).
She was the daughter of John Marriner & Mary Cobb of Falmouth... also known then as Cape Elizabeth.
Family tradition holds that Micah & Hannah Dyer lived on the farm given them by her father, afterwards occupied by their son, Ezekiel but it is evident that their homestead was a tract of land conveyed to "Michael Dyer of Cape Elizabeth... yeoman, on Sep.4, 1769 by his father Jonathan Dyer of Truro, Barnstable, Mass. for the sum of 100 pounds. The land is described as "all my whole right of lands which I (Jonathan) bought of Briant Morton of Cape Elizabeth". In March 1793, when Micah became too old to manage the farm alone, he sold to his son, Ezekiel, one full half of my farm in Cape Elizabeth whereon I now live.
Upon this farm, Micah lived until death in Dec.4, 1797 at age 69 of small pox contracted from a book which may have been laid away since an epidemic of that disease in 1778. Micah was buried on his own land.
[The Morton-Rich Ancestry Line, Book 1, Desendants of Bryent Morton & Thankful Parker (Eastham, Barnstable, Gorham), by Frances Morton Demars, 1983-1987]
He was buried on his own land; his grave, marked by two rough stones, is in a pasture near the corner of Stillman and Sawyer Streets, at South Portland Heights, owned (1907) by Mr. Clifford A. Dyer. A great-great-granddaughter, to whom her father confided the care of the spot, has placed a small flag by the headstone.
The house built by Micah Dyer disappeared long ago; it was set further back from the street than that of Mark Dyer, his son-in-law; the latter is in good repair, and is occupied by descendants. On November 16, 1798, less than a year after their father's death, the heirs of Micah Dyer conveyed to their brother, Ezekiel Dyer, all interest in the estate of their father, "In consideration that Ezekiel Dyer of sd Cape Elizabeth . . . yeoman . . . will Maintain Our Mother Hannah Dyer, the wife of Micah Dyer Late of Cape Elizabeth Deceased . . . as long as Shee lives, that Shee shall Not want for Nothing of the Necessaryes of this life, and will pay all the Debts that may be due Against the Estate of our Father Micah Dyer Late of Cape Elizabeth Deceased. . . . We do freely Acknowledge for the above Consideration to give up to the said Ezekiel Dyer his heirs and Assigns to their own proper use and behoof forever . . . All Our right and title to the Real & Personal Estate of our Father Micah Dyer aforesaid Deceased." The heirs conveying this right were: Micah Dyer and David Dyer, of Durham, James Morton and his wife Susanna, of Gorham, Nathaniel Dyer and his wife Hannah, Caleb Dyer, Mark Dyer and his wife Martha, Isaac Fickett and his wife Polly, Joshua Gammon and his wife Joanna, all of Cape Elizabeth.(*) The only heirs not appearing in this deed were Samuel Davis and his wife Hannah; yet Hannah Davis is remembered by aged members of this family, in Cape Elizabeth, as daughter to Micah, and is so mentioned in their private records.
Hannah Dyer, widow of Micah, survived her husband ten or twelve years. No record has been found of her death; it is thought that she was buried in the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, on Meeting-House Hill, beside her daughter Martha. There is now no stone to her memory; but many of the ancient stones were of perishable slate that has crumbled away.
In town affairs, Micah Dyer bore a modest part. Looking over the ancient records of Town Proceedings, one finds that, at the first town-meeting held in Cape Elizabeth, December 2, 1765, "Mr. Micah Dyer" was chosen collector of taxes. In 1771, 1783, and 1785, he was surveyor of highways; on July 1, 1786, he signed a call for town-meeting; in 1790, he was warden; in 1791, he was collector of the minister's salary.(*) He was not a Representative to the General Court of Massachusetts; the only Representatives from Cape Elizabeth, prior to 1800, were: "Colonel Jordan," in 1780; "George Deake, Esq.," in 1783; "Samuel Calef, Esq.," 1788-1791 and 1796; "Mr. Barzillai Delano," in 1792. In other years, the town was not represented.(+) (Descendants of Edward Small) 13
