  Notes	Helen R. Flach Note: Burke's American Families with British Ancestry, 1975, p. 2597, Byrd formerly of Broxton. Read Adm, U.S. Navy, Officer, French Legion of Honour, has Special Congressional Medals, 1930 for Antartic Expedition I and 1937 for Antartic Expedition II. --Burke's American Families with British Ancestry, 1975, p. 2597, Byrd formerly of Broxton. From Encyclopedia Brittanica: "Naval officer, pioneer aviator, and polar explorer. Having become a naval pilot, Byrd developed an interest in polar aviation and claimed to have flown over the North Pole on May 9, 1926. Although his claim was later seriously disputed, he was awarded the Medal of Honor for the achievement. In June 1927 he flew across the Atlantic Ocean from west to east, and the following year he began to explore the Antarctic from the air. Establishing a base camp, called Little America, on the Ross Ice Shelf, Byrd discovered unknown regions of the Arnarctic and also flew across the South Pole (1929). He nearly lost his life on a second expedition to the Antarctic in 1933-34. After World War II Byrd led Operation High Jump, a project to discover and map large tracts of Antarctic territory; he also directed allU.S. operations in the Antarctic, known as Operation Deep Freeze, in 1955, and flew over the pole for the last time in 1957."
