The DYER family was associated with our CAPP(S) in early Colonial Virginia. I have ran across it many times in my research. You may wish to search early colonial records in VA- if you are checking on the DYER name. (The names PHARRISS & DYER surnames are also present/migrated into the county I live in- Cumberlands, NC.). Some DYERS migrated to NC & TN. This is not my line, but again, they seemed to be closely associated with our CAPPS. Good Luck! Nancy J. Capps
