William Byrd II (1709"“1744) was a Virginia planter and surveyor who for a period of time served as a lawyer in England. He helped survey the boundary line between Virginia and North Carolina; an experience he recorded in The History of the Dividing Line Betwixt Virginia and North Carolina which was not published until a century after his death. Byrd is also known for his diaries that record day-to-day life on his plantation.
