We really have no proof of who the father of our Robert Dyer may be.  There are few families identified in Missouri in 1830 at the time of Robert's birth.  The earliest identified family with a Robert is the one listed above.  Robert senior's father was Samuel Dyer (b. 8 Oct  1856 in Bristol, England).  Samuel immigrated to the colonies as an indentured servant at the age of fourteen to Virginia.  Samuel's children were earlier immigrants to the Missouri territory before 1830. 


There may be several generations in between.  We think there is probably a connection with this family due to the unusual name of Asa Dyer being listed by the census records from 1790 to 1830 in both Massachusetts and Maine.   A big gap in the census records  and the lack of bible records leave us hanging and looking for connecting documentation.
