FRANCIS OTWAY BYRD of "Oakley," third son of Capt. Thomas T. Byrd and Mary Armistead, his wife. Born August 20, 1790. He entered the Army of the United States at the commencement of the War of 1812 as Lieutenant in the Second Regiment of Artillery. In the memorable campaign on the Niagra in 1814, "Lieutenant Byrd," in the language of Major-General Gaines, "nobly and gallantly sustained his part, and more especially in the glorious victory of August 15, 1814." General Scott has also borne his testimony to "the distinguished gallantry of Lieutenant Byrd in the many battles and affairs in which he found himself engaged with the enemy." He volunteered his services under Commodore Decatur againt Algiers, and captured at sea an Algerine frigate, receiving for his great valor a handsome Turkish sword and pair of Algerine pistols from Commodore Decatur. After Captain Byrd's return to this country he married in 1817 Miss Elizabeth Pleasants of Philadelphia and settled with her at "Oakley," Clarke County. Virginia, in 1848, voted him for his gallant conduct a sword of honor. In 1855 he removed to Baltimore to be near his beloved daughter, Mrs. Samuel G. Wyman. He died on May 2, 1860, at 7.30 in the evening.
