William Byrd/Bird was born about 1758 in most likely Bertie Co., NC. He and his wife, Mary moved to Robeson Co., NC before the American Revolution as he served as a soldier in the Wilmington District.Service Source: KELLAM, NC REV ARMY ACCTS, BOOK W, NO 1, 1781-1783, P 55. He was in the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge. His name is spelled Burd in those records. (pg. 32-33 The Patriots at Moores Creek Bridge, B.G. Moss, Scotia-Hibernia Press,Blacksburg, S. C. 1992)
He signed his Will on 13 Jan 1800 in Robeson Co., NC. This Will is recorded in the Robeson Co., NC Court Records in Will Book I page 61-62. There is no probate date. The Will states that he "being very sick but in perfect mind". Most likely he died shortly afterwards. It was witnessed by Jacob Allen and Sarah Lee. Joseph Wood was executor along with his wife, Mary Byrd/Bird.
Byrd, Bird and Burd are used interchangeable in the Bladen and Robeson Co., NC records. They are referring to the same person. On his Will, Bird is used at his signature, but Byrd is used at the heading of the Will.
