William Byrd III
William Byrd III (September 6, 1728January 1 or January 2, 1777) was the son of William Byrd II and the grandson of William Byrd I.
He inherited his family's estate of approximately 179,000 acres of land in Virginia and continued their planter prestige as a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses.
He chose to fight in the French and Indian War rather than spend much time in Richmond.
In 1756 he was colonel of the Second Virginia Regiment.
William Byrd III had a reputation as a notorious gambler.
He initiated what was said to have been the first major horse race in the New World, involving other planters Samuel Ogle, John Tayloe II, Francis Thornton, and Benjamin Tasker Jr.
Byrd eventually fathered five children by his first wife (Eliza Carter, m. 1748, d. 1760), and fathered ten more by his second wife, Mary Willing, daughter of Charles Willing of Philadelphia.
After he squandered the Byrd fortune on building a magnificent mansion at Westover Plantation, gambling, and bad investments, Byrd parceled up much of the land he had inherited from his father and sold it off to raise money to pay his debts.
He also sold the enslaved African laborers who had worked on his estate.
Although his sale of land and slaves generated a huge sum it still was not enough to pay off his creditors.
Later, Byrd resorted to a lottery, the prizes of which would come from his estate, Belvidere, at the falls of the James River.
However the lottery failed to generate sufficient revenue.
Despondent and nearly broke, Byrd committed suicide on January 1 or 2, 1777.
He was buried in the cemetery at the old Westover Church.
The 10 children of his second marriage (to Mary Willing) were:
Maria Horsmanden Byrd, Evelyn Taylor Byrd, Charles Willing Byrd (died as child), Abby Byrd, Anne Willing Byrd, William Boyd Byrd, Charles Willing Byrd, Dorothy Byrd (died as child), Jane Byrd and Richard Willing Byrd.

Mary Willing Byrd
Mary Willing Byrd (September 10, 1740 – March 1814) was an American planter.
She was the second wife of Colonel William Byrd III, a Colonial American military officer at the time of the American Revolution and son of the founder of Richmond, Virginia.
Her father, Charles Willing, was the mayor of Philadelphia from 1748 to 1754, and her great-grandfather, Edward Shippen, was the second mayor of Philadelphia, from 1701 to 1703.
Her husband committed suicide in January 1777, leaving considerable debts.
She managed his plantations, including Westover Plantation, in Charles City County, in order to satisfy his creditors and still preserve some property for their ten children to inherit.
She sold off some western lands, residences in Richmond and Williamsburg, and other property, but she was able to retain control of Westover, the major Byrd plantation in Charles City County.
Although Byrd had many ties to the British and Loyalists during the American Revolution, she tried to remain neutral.
After trying to recover property that had been seized by the British, she was charged in 1781 by the state of Virginia with trading with the enemy.
Byrd defended herself eloquently in a letter to Governor Thomas Jefferson: "I wish well to all mankind, to America in particular.
What am I but an American?
All my friends and connexions are in America; my whole property is here—
could I wish ill to everything I have an interest in?"
Her trial was first postponed and ultimately never held.
In 2007 Byrd was posthumously honored by the Library of Virginia's "Virginia Women in History" program.
