Highway Name to Honor 1874 Flying Machine Inventor Micajah Clark Dyer

There will be a dedication service for the naming of Micajah Clark Dyer Parkway on Saturday, July 15, 2006 at 3:00 p.m. at the Choestoe Baptist Church Family Life Center south of Blairsville, Georgia. The Parkway is being named to honor Mr. Dyer for his invention of a flying machine, for which he was granted a United States Patent in 1874. The portion of Georgia Highway 180 to be named is from the junction of the Gainesville Highway (U.S. 19 & U.S. 129) to the Georgia Highway 180 Spur which goes to Brasstown Bald Mountain at the Union and Towns County line. The public is cordially invited to attend.

Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue Honors Micajah Clark Dyer at Capitol

A group of Dyers from Georgia, Alabama and Florida journeyed to the Capitol on May 31 to meet with Governor Sonny Perdue for official recognition of their ancestor, Micajah Clark Dyer, who invented a "flying machine" in the North Georgia mountains more than two decades before the Wright brothers' flight at Kitty Hawk, N.C., in 1903.

The Governor signed H.R. 413, which incorporated H.R. 1236 introduced by Rep. Charles Jenkins and approved by the Legislature during its recent session, to name a portion of State Hwy. 180, located about 8 miles south of Blairsville, Ga., the Micajah Clark Dyer Parkway.

The youngest descendent present at the Governor's office was 10-month-old James Micajah Cooper, a great-great-greatgreat grandson of the inventor (pictured above). His parents are Joseph and Sarah Coker Cooper, and his grandparents are David and Geraldine Dyer Coker.

Although the U.S. Patent Office granted Dyer a patent for his machine on September 1, 1874, it was only a little over a year ago that the family finally located the patent and authenticated the legend that has been handed down through generations about the airplane Dyer invented and flew off Rattlesnake Mountain in Union County.


According to oral history, after Dyer's death in 1891 his widow sold the plans and specifications for the aircraft to two Redwine brothers in Atlanta, who later sold them to Orville and Wilbur Wright. It is probable that the Wrights incorporated Dyer's design into their plane and received credit for the first flight.

Following discovery of Dyer's patent, word has spread about his sophisticated drawings and descriptions crafted at this early time in history and his important contribution to the advancement of aviation. The Curator of the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame at the Museum of Aviation located at the Air Force Base in Warner Robins, Ga., is planning to include Micajah Clark Dyer in the celebration of Georgia's 100th Anniversary of Flying planned for next April.

A dedication ceremony for the Micajah Clark Dyer Parkway is planned for Saturday, July 15, 2006, at 3 p.m. at the Choestoe Baptist Church Life Center, located on Highway 180 a short distance from US Hwy. 19/129, south of Blairsville. The Dyer family is cordially inviting everyone to attend the celebration.

Highlights of Aviation History

Thanks to Union County Representative, the Honorable Charles F. Jenkins, Highway 180 will soon be designated the Micajah Clark Dyer Parkway.

The resolution which has passed the Georgia House and Senate will receive Governor Sonny Perdue’s signature at a ceremony at the state capitol on May 31. Some of the descendants of the Choestoe inventor will be present for the significant signing.

In this column several months ago, you read how the patent for “An Apparatus for Navigating the Air” was registered with the U. S. Patent Office in 1875. In his workshop near Rattlesnake Mountain at Pine Top in Choestoe District, this farmer-turned-inventor labored away to perfect his flying machine. My Uncle Herschel Dyer told of seeing the machine and so did a grandson of Micajah Clark Dyer, John Wimpey.

His plans for the apparatus were drawn to scale and his description of how to build the machine read like those of a well-educated engineer. For years “Clark Dyer and His Flying Machine” were treated like legend, a story passed from generation to generation for the purpose of claiming some glory from one who had gone before. It has been said that this genius of the mountains secluded himself to work as much as possible on his plans for an airplane. As a recluse, he was considered somewhat eccentric and “different” from his neighbors.

He lived from 1822 through 1891, and got his airship to lift from a take-off runway he had built on the mountain, aiming the vehicle to his cleared field. He died before he had perfected the flying machine. His plans were sold to the Redwine Brothers of Atlanta. It is believed that this company turned the plans over to the Wright Brothers of Kitty Hawk fame, who launched their plane on December 17, 1903.

The scene at Kill Devil Hill on that windy December day in 1903 has been noted as America’s initiation into the flight age. Powered by a twelve horse-power engine, the Wright’s plane weighed 745 pounds. Although the four trials on the day of its launch were short, the longest being 852 feet in 59 seconds, according to Orville Wright’s journal, “The machine started off with its ups and downs, but by the time he (Will) had gone over three or four hundred feet, he had it under much better control, and was traveling on a fairly even course.” The day’s trial runs and the brisk wind caused the plane to be so broken up that the Wright brothers had to do much mending and improving before their next trial run.

Nowadays, we take air and even space travel for granted. But thinking back on some aspects of flight history, it is amazing that by 1927, twenty-four years after the Wright brothers’ initial flight, and fifty-two years after Micajah Clark Dyer received the patent for his “Apparatus for Navigating the Air,” Charles Augustus Lindbergh had flown solo over the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Paris.

Lindbergh was an airmail pilot between St. Louis, Missouri and Chicago, Illinois. A group of St Louis businessmen pooled money and offered to sponsor the flight. A $25,000 prize was to be offered the pilot who could successfully complete the trans-Atlantic flight.

Lindbergh purchased a Ryan monoplane in San Diego, California, and set a trans-continental flight speed record by taking the plane to New York. On May 20, 1927, Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field heading east over the Atlantic. The next day, thirty-three and one-half hours later, he set “The Spirit of St. Louis,” as the plane was named, down at Le Bourget airfield outside of Paris, France.

An estimated crowd of 100,000 people had gathered outside the fences at Le Bourget, waiting six or seven hours to see the American pilot land. Many doubted that he would complete the trip. Soldiers and guards tried in vain to control the excited crowd. To keep Lindbergh from being crushed in the press, two French aviators, Major Weiss and Sergeant Troyer, rescued him and took him in a Renault car to the commandant’s office across the field. The first Frenchmen to “The Spirit of St. Louis” said, “Cete fois ca va!” (This time it is done!”).

The tired, disheveled, victorious Charles A. Lindbergh replied, “Well, I made it!”

From Rattlesnake Mountain in Choestoe to Kill Devil Hill at Kitty Hawk, NC to Le Bourget Airfield in France is a long way in miles and in mission. These early heroes of aviation saw visions and dreamed dreams. They were willing to forego naysayers to do what they felt impelled to do. Pilot John Gillespie Magee expressed the ecstasy of flying as he flew a test plane in World War II . His poem, “High Flight” ends with these exquisite words: “And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod/The high untresspassed sanctity of space,/Put out my hand and touched the face of God.”

The Wright Brothers Craft Came After Clark Dyer's Flying Machine

As reported by the Union Sentinel, January 1, 2004 by Ethelene Dyer Jones

On December 17, 2003, America stood poised to see a reproduction of the Wright Brothers’ flying machine lift from Kill Devil Hill near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. It was in commemoration of one hundred years of flight, 1903-2003. The replica, however, with all the attention to details, did not fly as well as the Wright Brothers’ plane, and the 100 year celebration hit an unexpected snag.

One Micajah Clark Dyer, an inventor who lived and worked in the Choestoe District of Union County, made a flying machine that pre-dated that of the Wright brothers by fifteen years or more. The reason we do not hear more about this amazing feat of a mountain genius is that he did not secure a patent for his machine and he died before he could perfect it and get the publicity necessary for making his invention a part of flight history.

Micajah Clark Dyer was born in South Carolina on July 23, 1822. His mother was Sallie Dyer (b. about 1804 in SC), eldest daughter of Elisha Dyer, Jr. (b. about 1785, d. 1847) and Elizabeth Clark Dyer (b. about 1783, d. 1861). When Sallie Dyer was about eighteen, she gave birth to Micajah Clark Dyer out of wedlock. It has been a matter of family legend that the baby’s father was one John Meyers, but he did not ever marry Sallie nor claim his son. The baby, Micajah Clark Dyer, was named after Sallie’s grandfather, Micajah Clark, her mother Elizabeth’s father. Elisha, Jr. and Elizabeth Clark Dyer raised Sallie’s son as their own. They did, however, confuse the record a bit, because they had already named their eighth child, a son, born in 1817, Micajah Clark Dyer. Some have surmised that the inventor Micajah Clark Dyer’s father, John Meyers, must have been very mechanical-minded, because Micajah Clark early on showed propensities toward inventiveness.

The 1822 Micajah Clark Dyer moved to Union County, Georgia with his Grandfather Elisha Dyer, Jr.’s large family and they settled in the Cane Creek section of Choestoe District. The family was in Union County when the first county census was made in 1834, two years after the county’s founding.

Micajah Clark’s mother, Sallie, married Eli Townsend and they had a family. However, it is believed that Micajah Clark continued to live in the household of his grandfather Elisha Dyer, Jr. and did not grow up with his half-siblings which included Andrew, Elisha, Thomas, Polly Ann, William and Sarah Elizabeth Townsend.

Micajah Clark Dyer was introspective by nature. His education in the one-room teacher school for a few months of each year was supplemented by his own innate ability to “figure out” things for himself. On July 23, 1842, when he was twenty, he married Morena Elizabeth Ownbey (1819-1892). To them were born nine children: Jasper Washington Dyer (1843-1913 who married Emaline E. Lance); (Rev.) John M. Dyer (1847-? who married Elizabeth Ann Sullivan); Andrew Henderson Dyer (1848-1903 who married Adeline Sullivan); Marcus Lafayette Dyer (1850-1921 who married Clarissa Wimpey); Cynthia C. (1852-1917 who married John P. Smith); Mancil Pruitt Dyer (1854-1916 who married [1] Rebecca Jarrard and [2] Margaret M. Twiggs); Robert F. Dyer (1856-? who married Elizabeth Fortenberry); Morena Elizabeth Dyer (1859-1903 who married James A. Wimpey); and Johnson B. Dyer (1861-1885 who married Mary Hunter. Many descendants of Micajah Clark and Morena Ownbey Dyer still reside in Union County, Georgia.

Morena Dyer had the convenience of running water in their home at Choestoe, as Clark devised his own water system consisting of hollowed-out logs run from the bold spring on the mountain to their house. When he was not busy with cultivating the land on his farm and tilling the crops necessary to the economy of his large family, Clark Dyer labored in his workshop.

There, he experimented with a flying machine made of lightweight cured river canes and covered with cloth. Drawings on the flyleaves of the family Bible, now in the possession of one of Clark’s great, great grandsons, show how he thought out the engineering technicalities of motion and counter-motion by a series of rotational whirli-gigs. He built a ramp on the side of the mountain and succeeded in getting his flying machine airborne for a short time.

Evidently, to hide his contraption from curious eyes and to keep his invention a secret from those who would think him strange and wasting time from necessary farm work, Clark Dyer kept his machine stored behind lock and key in his barn. Those who would not ridicule the inventor were allowed to see the fabulous machine. Among them were several who bore testimony to seeing the plane; namely his grandson, Johnny Wimpey, son of Morena and James A. Wimpey; Herschel A. Dyer, son of Bluford Elisha and Sarah Evaline Souther Dyer; and James Washington Lance, son of the Rev. John H. and Caroline Turner Lance.

Just when the fabulous trial flights (more than one) occurred on the mountainside in Choestoe is uncertain, but it certainly happened before Clark Dyer’s untimely death on January 26, 1891 when he was 68 years of age. Prior to his death, he had invented a “perpetual motion” machine. Mr. Virgil Waldroup, a justice of the peace and merchant in the area, had helped Clark Dyer to “send off” to Washington for a patent on his inventions, but these were not forthcoming before Dyer’s death. It is also a part of family tradition that his son, Mancil Pruitt Dyer, turned down an offer of $30,000 for the patent purchase of the perpetual motion machine, evidently thinking that if he held out for more money he could receive it. And still another family story holds that Clark’s widow, Morena Ownbey Dyer, sold the flying machine and its design to the Redwine Brothers of Atlanta, who, in turn, sold the ideas to the Wright Brothers of North Carolina.

The facts of the fabulous flying machine of Choestoe are lost in Mountain Mists and family legends. But it is a known fact that one inventor named Micajah Clark Dyer watched the birds fly and asked, “Why not man?” and proceeded to act on his dream to invent a machine that would defy gravity. It actually got off the ground in the late 1880's. Pine Top around 1890 might have been the Kitty Hawk of 1903 had times and circumstances been more conducive.
