Marriages:
1. Henry Dyer Children of Mary Royce and Henry Dyer:

--
One source has her last name as Sanford. I think the Henry Dyer who married Mary Sanford was born about 1640, though.

Phelps website has last name as Royce; source cited is

This RootsWeb entry says she is a daughter of Nehemiah Royce (1636 Long Sutton, Somerset England d 1706-11-07 Wallingford CT) and Hannah Morgan (1642-07-18 Roxbury MA d 1706-12-12) (married 1660-11-20).
Nehemiah is a son of Robert Royce (Somerset England d New London CT) and Mary Elizabeth Sims 1609 (England).
Hannah is a daughter of James Morgan (1607 Llandaff, Glamorgan Wales) and Margery Hill (c1610 Roxbury, Suffolk, MA d 1690-04-28 Wallingford CT) (married 1640-08-06.
Margery is a daughter of George Hills (Essex England) and Mary Symmonds (c1578 Great Burstead, Essex England) (married 1596-10-13)
--
Many other RootsWeb entries say that Nehemiah's daughter Mary married c1702 Samuel Lewis or Gideon Ives
--
This RootsWeb entry says she is a daughter of Jonathan Royce and Ruth Beckwith.
--
She can't be a daughter of Jonathan and Ruth, because Ruth was born 1681 and they were married in 1700.
Jonathan's daughter married Henry II, son of this Mary.
--
This Mary is supposed to be a first cousin once removed of the Mary Royce who married Henry Jr.
--
Many sites have her as Mary Rice b c1666.

This RootsWeb entry says she was born 1675-08-12 Wallingford New London CT and died bet 1723 and 1726 in Lebanon CT.
