Jeriah Elizabeth Dyer who was born about 1775 in Wilkes County, North Carolina and died circa 1830, 1831. She was the daughter of Bluford Elisha Dyer, Sr. and Amey Laws. Jeriah married Bolin Clark on 15 May 1798 in Pendleton District, South Carolina.

Bolen (the spelling most frequently used by the son of Capt. Micajah Clark, Sr) Clark acquired 200 acres of land by warrant, 15 Aug 1799, on Gasper
River in Warren Co., KY (Jillson, W. R., KY Land Grants, Book 9-90, page 282) and was likely the first member of the Dyer and Clark families to
"go west", or make plans to do so. Bolen and Jeriah Clark were soon living southwest of Bowling Green, near the Hagerman family. To Joseph
Hagerman, Bolen and Jeriah Clark sold property 7 Dec 1829 (Warren Co.,KY, deeds, 14-8). Micajah Clark, Jr.(Bolin's brother) was a witness to the deed. This was the last signature of Jeriah to one of Bolen Clark's deeds. Jeriah was evidently counted in the US Census of Warren Co. for 1830. A grantor deed on 23 May 1831 of Bolen's did not carry her name . Sometimes after Jeriah's death, Bolen Clark married Elizabeth Campbell, widow of A. M.Campbell of Logan Co., KY (Warren Co., KY, deeds, 20-222, 22 Dec 1845;21-465, 28 Dec 1848; and Chancery Suit No. 1781). Mrs. Campbell had at
least one son, James Campbell.
