Hi Diana, I also find a Samuel Dyer, (John5, Edward4, Edward3, Samuel2, William1) b. March 28, 1757, d. Apr 15, 1791. Married Waite Eldred, b. 1761, d. Aug 12, 1839 in 78th year (N. Kingstown, RI). They had 9 children. Additionally, I find two Samuel Dyers, born in the 1750s (no dates) with no attributed family (marriage/children) information except their father's name and line.
