The brothers were the children of Vice-Admiral Lord Hugh Seymour and Lady Anne Horatia Waldegrave. Sir Horace entered the army as well as serving as a member of parliament. Frederick was to marry twice, firstly Lady Mary Gordon, daughter of the 9^th Marquess of Huntly and then, in 1832, Lady Augusta Hervey, daughter of Frederick, 1^st Marquess of Bristol.

This picture descended in the family of Earl Spencer until the Christie's sale of 2010. The Seymours are linked to the Spencers by marriage. Sir Horace married, as his second wife, Frances Poyntz, whose sister was Georgiana, wife of Frederick, 4^th Earl Spencer. She died in 1851 and three years later the Earl married Sir Horace's daugther; Adelaide.
