The sitters are possibly the children of Richard McGillycuddy (1790–1866), the McGillycuddy of the Reeks, and Margaret Bennett. The children would then be identified as Robert (1823–1845), Arabella (1817–1844) and Dorothea (1826–1895). The former both died unmarried, but Dorothea married William Leader of Rosnalee, of County Cork, and secondly the Reverend James MacEwan. Richard McGillycuddy was appointed Deputy Lieutenant for County Kerry in 1832 by the Earl of Kenmore. His wife died in 1849 and later that year he remarried Anna Johnstone and had further issue.
