Mother* Elizabeth Dowse b. 15 Mar 1647, d. a 1732

     The fact that the above mentioned marriage was performed by Rev. John Webb suggests that the families interested were members or attendants of the "New North" or Fifth Congregational Church in Boston.
     Per the Dyer genealogy, Joseph became a mariner. He was married by Rev. John Webb, and in the same year as his marriage, he bought a house on Hepburn Lane, and with his mother and three sisters sold four acres of marsh in Charlestown, but subsequent records are lacking. He probably died early, perhaps not far from 1720.3,1,4,2 
Death*circa 1721Joseph Dyer died circa 1721 at Massachusetts "perhaps not far from 1720" but son born Apr 1721 implies after that unless he was born posthumously.1
