Burd joined the colonial army as a volunteer at the start of the Revolutionary War and rose to the rank of Major before he was captured at the Battle of Long Island. Unable to re-enlist due to ill health, Burd went on to serve as a justice of Pennsylvania's Supreme Court and as a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania following the war.
