[7] [10] William Dyer became a freeman of Boston on 3 March the following year. [11]

Mary and William Dyer arrived in New England in 1635 and since they soon had their baby baptized it’s possible the child was born while at sea. The Puritan churches of Boston at that time had internal theological differences, a fact that soon became evident as the Dyers joined.
