A copy of a portrait of Elizabeth Hill Carter Byrd can be found at the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond. It states: Mrs. Wm. Byrd, III (Elizabeth Hill Carter) at Shirley.

A home called Belvidere was built about 1750 on the falls, just as his grandfather had done before he purchased Westover, by William III for his wife. With William being gone in the later years of the 1750's, in a letter she wrote him in 1757 expressing her loneliness of being here on the falls alone with her children and house servants. She died 3 years later, either and accident or suicide as some had thought.
