Edward Dearborn, (1749-1809), was in Arnold's expedition and suffered untold hardship marching through the unbroken wilderness. He was captured and enfeebled by the epidemic of smallpox. He recovered to serve in the Burgoyne campaign and was at the surrender. The musket he carried is now in the possession of the family. He was born in Kensington; died in Deerfield, N. H.

On May 1, 1851, Mr. Dyer was united in marriage with Miss Julia Knowlton, a native of Deerfield, N.H., daughter of Joseph and Susan (Dearborn) Knowlton.

 

The immigrant progenitor of the Knowlton family of New England, to which Mrs. Dyer's father belonged, was Captain William Knowlton, who died on the voyage from London to Nova Scotia, and whose sons a few years later settled at Ipswich, the earliest to arrive there, it is said, being John in 1639.

 

Through her maternal grandfather, Nathaniel Dearborn, who married Comfort Palmer, of Haverhill, N.H., Mrs. Dyer is descended from Godfrey Dearborn, who came from England and was one of the earliest settlers of Exeter, N.H., in 1639, later removing to Hampton, N.H. Mrs. Dyer is of Revolutionary ancestry on both sides, her great-grandfather, Edward Dearborn, and her grandfather, Thomas Knowlton, having both served, it is said, at Bunker Hill and at Dorchester Heights. In the revolutionary Rolls of New Hampshire, Volume II., Edward Dearborn is named as one of the enlisted soldiers in the militia now raising (September 7, 1777) to join General Stark at Bennington; also on the pay-roll of Captain Nathan Sanborn's company, Colonel Evans's regiment, which marched, September, 1777, from New Hampshire to re-enforce the Northern Continental army at Saratoga. Edward Dearborn married Susanna Brown, whom he left when he entered the Continental army, to carry on the farm and care for three small children, the nearest neighbor being ten miles away. Susanna Brown was a daughter of Nehemiah and Amy (Longfellow) Brown, of Kensington, N.H., and grand-daughter of Nathan Longfellow. The last-named ancestor of Mrs. Dyer was probably the Nathan born in 1690, son of William and Anne (Sewall) Longfellow, and brother to Stephen, born in 1681, from whom the poet Longfellow was descended. Joseph Knowlton, Mrs. Dyer's father, participated in the war of 1812-15; and Joseph H. Knowlton, her brother, served in the federal army from the commencement to the close of the Civil War.1,2
