The dyer family is noted because of the sacrifice of Ann Dyer Clarke's paternal grandmother, Mary Barret Dyer, who emigrated from Lincolnshire, England to Boston with her husband William Dyer in 1634/5. Mary Dyer was a woman of forceful convictions, and had very intense religious beliefs. She became a Quaker and a minister of that denomination following a five-year period of residency in England ending in 1657. the puritans recognized her as a formidable opponent of their inflexible religious dogma. In 1657, she was arrested in Boston because of her religious convictions and public instruction, but was released in the custody of her husband, providing she leave the Commonwealth of Massachusetts immediately. She went to Rhode Island with her husband, but returned to Boston in 1659, promptly resulting in her arrest and imprisonment. The court found her guilty of practicing "the profession of Quakerism". She was sentenced to death by hanging for this serious crime. While standing on the gallows with the noose around her neck, she watched two men hanged. She was then offered amnesty, providing she would leave Massachusetts. On this occasion she accepted the conditions--returning to her home in Rhode Island. but, she was back in Boston within six months--preaching her Quaker faith. Again, she was tried and sentenced to death. And, again, she was offered amnesty, providing she never return to Massachusetts. Her reply: "In the obedience of the Lord I came, and in His will I abide faithful to the death." She was hanged at Boston Common at about 9 a.m. on June 1, 1660.
