She further declares that she was married to the said Nathan Tyler in the year seventeen hundred and eighty eight, that the ceremony was solemnized by Parker Barnum Esq., one of the Justices of the Peace in the County of Middlesex, aforesaid, that her husband the aforesaid Nathan Tyler died in the town

That I was knowing that the said Nathan Dyer married to a Miss Mary Wood of Chelmsford a sister of my present wife. I recollect well the time of their marriage, and resided in the family of the said Nathan Dyer but did not see them married, but there never was a question but what they were lawfully married by Parker Barnum, Esquire. The wife of the said Nathan Dyer was at that time commonly called Polly, but her true name was Mary, and as now called & expressed. I left the family of the said Nathan & Mary Dyer near fifty years ago, & at that time they had one or more children, & lived together as lawful Man and Wife, and did so continue up to the time of his death which took place twelve or fifteen years since. I have formerly had the said Nathan Dyer mention his being in the service at several different places. Concord, Lexington, & Guinevere Swamp.
