BIOGRAPHY BY REBECCA REUBEN DYER
Rachel Martha "Patsy" Dyer was born to George Dyer and Rachel Dalton in 1800 and is named in her father's will of 1823. She lived her life in the Leatherwood Section of Henry County, Virginia, and was the namesake of her mother and possibly of Martha "Patsy" Henry Fontaine (1755 - 1818) the daughter of Patrick Henry who was mistress of neighboring Leatherwood Plantation.
On 19 Dec 1822, George Dyer gave permission for Martha to marry Lewis Gravely. Witness of the marriage was Elder Arnold Walker, who, at that time was married to Eleanor Gravely, Lewis' sister. Lewis and Martha raised a large family and cared for Rachel Dalton Dyer, Martha's mother, until she passed away in 1862. The 1850 census shows Col. Joseph Martin as the Gravely's next neighbor.
Martha passed away on 24 Oct 1876 at the age of 76 of unknown cause.
