I am trying to sort out who is the William Byrd who had a sons named Thomas, Otway, and Charles (and I think John).   His estate is litigated in Byrd v. Byrd and the case is heard by Chief Justice Marshall while riding circuit.  
 
Can someone tell me which WIlliam Byrd this is and when he died?  (I think he died in the 1770s but I cannot be sure).  Thanks.
