	Mary Barrett Dyer - Notable Women Ancestors
		Quaker martyr, Mary Barrett Dyer left little record of her early life, which may have led to a much bally-hooed and totally unfounded speculation that she was the estranged daughter of Lady Arabella Stuart by her secret marriage with her cousin, Sir William Seymour.
		Mary's detractors and defenders alike describe her as "fair" and "comely." William became a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony on 3 March 1635/6 and he held many positions of public importance.
		Mary and Anne were friends, and when Mary went into premature labor on October 17, 1637, Anne, an experienced midwife, was called to her side.

		They were eventually banished and Mary, inspired by her friend, the outspoken Anne Hutchinson, became one of the group that founded Rhode Island on the premise of religious freedom for all and a modicum of women's equality.
		The story of Mary Dyer, executed in 1660 in Boston for her Quaker beliefs, should be an instructive walk on the darker side of American democracy--but this treatment by debut author Plimpton reads more like one of those perky biographies inflicted on middle- schoolers for a social-studies project.
		The title might require an explanation: Mary Dyer could perhaps be called a rebel in relation to the government of Massachusetts, but not in relation to other Quakers after she became a Quaker.
