I have the Col Bird, who attacked the Ruddell's Fort as a son of Wm. Byrd, who owned the beautiful estate of "Westover," on the James. Their were 3 generations of William, which one I am not sure. The Byrd family that had 5 children marry 5 of John Ruddell's family goes back to Thomas, a brother of William Byrd I. Both Mounce and Amos Byrd had children and grandchildren named John. I would expect a connection with the John Bird at the Fort but have no proof.
