• Notes

  Manoah Dyer, b about 1779, d. July 1826, Warren County Kentucky; m about 1802 Elizabeth Withers in Pendleton District South Carolina. Manoah and Elizabeth Dyer moved to Warren County Kentucky a few years after their marriage. Manoah received a warrant for 50 acres of land in that county 15 May 1809 (Kentucky Land Grants, book 19-525, page 303). The arrival in Kentucky could not have been much later than that, since Elisha Dyer Jr had informed the probate officer at the time of Joshua Dyer's death, 11 Dec 1809, that he was Joshua's only brother in the parts. Manoah's last record in Pendleton District South Carolina was 15 Sep 1806, when Manoah along with his brother Elisha Dyer Jr witnessed Elisha Dyer Sr's deed to Joshua (Pendleton District South Carolina deed H-516). Elisha Dyer Sr., had a land sale in 1807, (Pendleton District South Carolina Deeds, I-89 23 Feb 1807. It is likely that Manoah and Abner Dyer took the long trip with their families and their father in the summer of 1807, 1808 or 1809. When the US census of 1810 was taken in Warren County Kentucky, Manoah and Elizabeth Dyer had 2 sons and a daughter, all under age 10. 4 sons and 4 daughters constituted their family 10 years later. Manoah bought 100 acres of land in 1813 (Warren County Kentucky Deeds, F-6-204, 2 Aug 1813) and probably made the purchases. He sold property a few months before his death in 1826, (Warren County Kentucky Deeds, M-12-180), 3 Jun 1826. In March 1816 Manoah's father, Elisha and 2nd wife Jane Wheeler Dyer, whom he married in 1814, came to live with Manoah's family, deeding Manoah all his property (Warren County Kentucky Deeds, G-7, 11 Mar 1816). Elisha Dyer Sr died in 1816 as records of the court show Elisha's wife Jane Dyer appointed administrator (Warren County Kentucky Court Minutes, E-876, 2 Jul 1816). The court minutes (Warren County Kentucky Court Minutes, E-69, 6 May 1816) record a note as follows: "Manoah Dyer ordered to be Captain of Patrol on bounds of Capt Kirby's Company of Patrol for 12 hours each for 12 months from this date, visiting all negro quarters and other suspected places of unlawful assemblies of slaves." Manoah must have died in 1826 before August. Joseph Moore was appointed as administrator of the estate of Manoah Dyer 10 Aug 1826 (Warren County Kentucky Court Minutes, F-118), and a succession of orders began regarding the estate management. The estate was finally settled in 1834. (Warren County Kentucky Court Minutes, F-132, 140, 241, 264, 333, 343, 350) (Warren County Kentucky Inventories, D-112, 113, 142) (Warren County Kentucky Deeds, 16-1/2, 141, 151, 152) Some of the orders had to do with "the hiring of negroes of Manoah Dyer dec'd". Joseph Moore continued as administrator. The heirs disposed of Manoah's farm property "the same subject yet to the dower claim of the widow of Manoah Dyer, June 7, 1834." (Warren County Kentucky DEEDS 16-1/2-141). Children of Manoah and Elizabeth Dyer: THOMAS C - married Maria Smith, moved to Illinois. ABNER - ROSANNA - married 12 Dec 1830 Masey Quisenbury. JOHNSON - resided in Warren County as late as 1835. ETNA - CELIA - married 19 Nov 1835 Robert M Prater. PERRY EMILY The widow Elizabeth remarried to Absalom Matlock, 20 Feb 1827 (Warren County Kentucky Marriages 1796-1851, page 66). It is believed all the children of Manoah and Elizabeth Dyer left Warren County. They may have gone to Missouri. Elizabeth survived her 2nd husband Absalom, who died about 1838. Absalom Matlock had 13 children by his first marriage. The 4th son, Joel E Matlock, married Manoah Dyer's niece Elizabeth Dyer (daughter of Josiah Dyer) 17 Mar 1834.
