Evelyn Taylor Byrd was a daughter of William Byrd III and Mary Willing, members of a prominent Virginia family. Genealogical accounts identify her husband as Benjamin Harrison, born in 1742, whom she married in January 1788. Their children included Mary Evelyn Byrd, Abigail Willing and George Evelyn Harrison. Her recorded lifespan is 1766–1817. She should be distinguished from the earlier Evelyn Byrd and from women married to other men named Benjamin Harrison.
