  • Notes 
    • Betsy died in 1860 and her estate was probated. This means that she owned real estate separate from her husband. So, we need to find how she acquired it.

      There is a Samuel Dyer named as surety. Likely this is one of her brothers or nephews. In any case, he is a link to find out more about her family.
