     (an unknown value). Major was born after 1709 at Accomack Co, VA.1 He was the son of John Byrd. He married Sarah (-----) circa 1730.2 Major died in 1751 at Accomack Co, VA. He died intestate by 30 July 1751, when Sarah Bird, apparently his widow, was named to administer his estate (Orders 1744-1753, p. 516). Major Bird had bought 300 acres of land and marsh on Muddy Creek (north side) in 1740 and 100 additional acres in 1750 (south side) from Isaiah Johnson. This land descended to two daughters, Elizabeth Bird and Lucretia, wife of Charles Broadwater, indicating Major Bird had no sons (Whitelaw, pp. 1206 and 1207). On 31 March 1774, Elizabeth Bird, Charles Broadwater and Lucretia, his wife, brought a suit against Isaiah Johnson "in ejectment" for 100 acres of land and marsh on Muddy Creek (Orders 1774-1777, p. 119). They lost the suit, suggesting that Major Bird died before he paid for the last 100 acres. On 6 December 1793, a survey was made of 200 acres bordering the north side of Muddy Creek (Surveyors Record No. 1, p. 249). This was divided between Elizabeth Bird and "Custis and Burton". On 24 June 1800, Elizabeth Bird sold John Kelly 12 to 15 acres "situated on Muddy Creek" for 1 pound 16 shillings. This was "marsh land that formerly belonged to Charles Broadwater" (Deeds 1800-1804, p. 6)..
