MARY WILLING, dau. of Charles and Anne (née Shippen) Wil- ling, p. (89), b. Phila., Sep. 24, 1740, d. Westover, March 24, 1814, m. Phila., Jan. 29, 1761, William Byrd, better known as the third Col. Byrd of Westover, b. Westover, Sep. 6, 1729, son of William the second Col. Byrd of Westover (the founder of Richmond) and Maria Taylor, his second wife, and grandson of William the first Col. Byrd of Westover and Mary Horsmanden his wife. William Byrd was descended from an old family dating back to the Norman con- quest. Hugo Le Brid m. Werburga, dau. and heiress of Roger Dom- ville of the Palatinate of Cestria, and so acquired the estate of Brex- ton, and thus down the various branches, the family comes down to the arrival of the first William in the Colony of Virginia, changing the name to Bird and Byrd finally. William Byrd had, like his Father and Grand-Father, the advantage of an English education, and was under the especial guardianship of his Aunt's husband, Col. Francis Otway of the Horse Guards. At 19 he returned to take possession as Master of Westover. He also was of the Council of the Colony and of the General Court and "evinced great soundness of judgment and undeviating attachment to justice." In the war of 1756, he served his country with fidelity and zeal as Col. of the 2d Va. Regiment. His amenity of manners was the just index of his soul. His politeness and amiability were very great, and many anecdotes are told as illustrations of them. He m., 1st, April 14, 1748, Elizabeth Hill Carter of Shirley, dau. of John Carter and Eliza Hill of Shirley, and granddau. of Robert Carter of Corotoman, known as King Carter, b. Oct. 13, 1731, d. July 5, 1760, leaving four sons and one dau. William d. y., John Carter m. Mary Page, Thomas Taylor m. Mary Armstead of Hesse (their son Richard Eve- lyn m. his cousin Anne Harrison, a granddau. of William Byrd and his
Shippen-Byrd brunch. (121)
second wife Mary Willing, see p. (125), Elizabeth Hill m., 1st, James Parke Farley (their dau. Elizabeth m. Thomas Lee Shippen, see p. (138), 2ndly, Rev. Mr. Dunbar, and, 3rdly, Mr. Skipwith, Francis Otway m. Anne Mumford. The night after the eldest son, William, was christened, the Westover house was partially burned, owing to the carelessness of the housekeeper. When the family assembled, it was remembered that Charles and Edward Carter, Mrs. Byrd's brothers, were asleep in the third story. Col. Byrd, after conducting his wife and child safely to the lawn, returned, and at the risk of his own life, rushed to the rescue of the youths, and they escaped before the roof fell in. He was a most tender and affectionate Father, the constant companion of his daughters, who were ever free to join him, unless they saw him walking in his favorite buck eye paddock bareheaded, which was a sign that he was at his devotions and not to be disturbed. He d. at Westover, Jan 1, 1777.
