I am interested in finding anyone related to the Isaac and Fanny Dyer family. They may have been the parents of Pleasant Dyer from whom I descend. I know there were and probably still are many Dyer families in Union County and surrounding counties. Pleasant was born10 Feb 1818 in Grainger Co. TN, m. 7 Apr 1839 to Margaret Lain/Lane. They moved to Douglas County, MO. Pleasant died 10 May 1862 and Margaret died 9 May 1895. They are buried in Dyer Cemetery which is a corner of their farm in Douglas County, MO. Pleasant's siblings(to my best knowledge) were Cynthia, who m. a William Wyrick; Elizabeth who m. Elijah Arnwine; Anna who married also a William Wyrick????; Nancy who m. John Arnwine; Catherine who m. Nathan G. McHurst; Tillman who m. Louisa Dale; Robert who m. Susanna Dale; Isaac who m. Margaret J.??? and George who m. Olley Williams. Nelson J. Dyer the son of Pleasant and Margaret Lain/Lain was b. 20 Feb 1840 at Flat Creek. He married Nancy A Mullin or Mullins or something like that on 12 Aug 1859 in Grainger County, TN. Nancy was born 2 Aug 1842 in Union Co. TN or Grainger Co. I know they were all one county at one time. She died young on 3 Feb 1865 and is buried in Dyer Cemetery on their farm in Douglas Co. MO. They had one daughter, Margaret Adeline, born 1861 in TN. Margaret Adeline(called Addie) was my gr. grandmother. I have an article from a Douglas County, MO newspaper in 1895 telling that Nelson J. Dyer came into the newspaper office to purchase a subscription to the paper to be sent to J. M. Lane of Flat Creek. I assume this was a member of the family related to his mother. Can anyone help me with any of these Dyer, Mullin/Mullins? and Lain/Lane families? I would be very happy to hear from someone and can supply information of the Dyer family after they moved away from TN and came to MO. Thanks so much. Helen Whannel from West Des Moines, Iowa
