DAR records have a note on the file of Richard Bird - Richard R. Byrd Jr (abt.1752-1818) - grandfather of "Benjamin" (DAR names him "Burtis"), saying his wife Mary was an Anderson, not an Andrews. See Patriot Ancestor #A010342 (1760-1818).

One of the descendant records (which haven't been reviewed, so are less reliable than the main entries, which have) says that Mary Anderson was born 17 June 1816, SC; died Dale County, Alabama on 4 March 1889 (married 1833) - see this descendant record & also this one.

edit - deleted "leftover" info (I was working off a copy of an entry in my notes)
