Thomas Mott, the son of William and Susan Mott, was baptised at All Saints' church, Cambridge, on 6 December 1773. On 18 January 1796 he married, at St Edmund's church, Cambridge, a daughter of Edward Gillam, merchant and carrier (Stamford Mercury, 22 Jan. 1796, p. 3). He was buried at Cambridge 2 July 1826 (ancestry.co.uk).

He was an early friend of Dawson Turner, with whom he made a tour of Derbyshire in 1795. After serving as a clerk to Joseph Sayers at Yarmouth, he became an attorney at Cambridge, where, according to Turner, 'he brought a sad career to a premature end'. Turner described him as ‘a man of quick talents, with considerable taste for poetry, and still more for drawing caricatures’.

In 1817 he published at London a small work entitled Elucidation of the Ancient English Statute Laws that award the penalty of death sans clergy, from Edw. III to Queen Anne, with notes (London, 1817).

Dyer died at Bristol on 13 July 1833 (Gentleman’s Magazine, July 1833, p. 91).
