  • Notes 
    • 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."
