Zephaniah married Dorotha Handley VIERS about 1773 in ,Montgomery, Maryland. Dorotha (daughter of Lieutenant Colonel William Elisha VIERS and Mary MAGRUDER) was born in 1757 in ,Frederick, Maryland; died in 1811 in ,Montgomery, Maryland. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Source from New Family Search Contributor,
Jeannette Viers Brooks, lists Dorotha Handley
Dyson as daughter of William Elisha Viers in
his Will.

Information researched by Doris Forsyth.
"Dorotha was born to Capt. William Viers and
Mary Magruder. Her father, William named her
for HIS mother - her paternal grandmother. The
grandmother was Dorotha Hanley Viers, so there
were two women with the same name.The
grandmother was born a Hanley and married a
Viers. The baby girl was given the name of
Dototha Hanley at birth and her family name
was Viers.
The young girl, Dorotha, eventually married
Zephaniah Dyson and they had 4 children, one
girl, Anna, and 3 boys. Over the years, and
somewhere along the Dorotha died - at least
she was no longer a part of the life of
Zephaniah Dyson. Zephaniah was a Rev. War vet
and I've tried to do a DAR entry on him. The
fact that Zephaniah married a second time in
1811, when he no longer was a young man, and
died 3 years later, is recorded information.
What I am unable to find is what became of
Zephaniah's first wife - Dorotha Viers Dyson.
Census records often recorded her as "Dorraty",
since her name was NOT Dorothy, but one that
was hard to spell correctly - Dototha.
Zephaniah and Dorotha Hanley Viers Dyson's
daughter, Anna married David Reed in West
Virginia or across the river in Ohio. This
makes them my 5th gr. grandparents."

Thomas married Mary MADDOX about 1740 in ,Charles, Maryland. Mary (daughter of John MADDOX and Mary DYSON) was born about 1725 in ,Charles, Maryland. [Group Sheet]
