Jerub was the brother of Caleb Dyer, the first trustee of the Enfield Shakers.
Jerub studied medicine at Dartmouth Medical School, but the Shakers would not allow him to accept his Medical Diploma as they considered it a worldly honor improper for a Shaker. He practiced medicine for the Shakers as their doctor for 11 years and was not paid by them. He then left the Shakers and lived in East Lebanon for 2 years; there he married Lucy Coburn of Orwell, VT who had also been an Enfield Shaker for 11 years before leaving them.
They went to Wisconsin and Minnesota for 5 years and then returned to Lebanon, NH where he practiced medicine. His Shaker background made it difficult for him to try to collect money owed him for his services so he remained poor.
He had two daughters, Hattie Dyer who was a school teacher; and Rose M. Dyer, who married Charles Bagley of Franklin, NH.
