Maria Horsmanden Byrd Page (1761–1844) was the daughter of William Byrd III and Mary Willing Byrd and wife of John Page of Pagebrook. Her mother’s 1813 will gave her lifetime income from ten Virginia Bank shares, then designated the capital for her children. Maria also inherited family portraits, engravings, furniture and part of the estate. The bequests record the dispersal of Westover’s collections. She was distinct from the earlier Maria Horsmanden, William Byrd I’s wife.
EARLY LIFE
Maria Horsmanden Byrd was born in 1761, a daughter of William Byrd III and Mary Willing Byrd. She belongs to the eighteenth-century Byrd family and should be distinguished from the seventeenth-century Maria Horsmanden who married William Byrd I. No reliable account of her childhood or schooling was found in the reviewed material.
Maria Horsmanden Byrd Page is documented in her mother’s December 1813 will, which left her a lifetime interest in ten Virginia Bank shares and other family property. This establishes an inheritance, rather than a banking occupation. No reliable evidence of a separate professional career or public office was found in the reviewed material.
