Footnote
Note:The sitter was the younger daughter of John Morley Trevor (1681-1719) of Trevalyn, Denbighshire and his wife Lucy Montague (1678-1720), sister of George Montague, Earl of Halifax (1678-1720). A three-quarter length portrait of her by Ramsay dated 1748, was formerly at Trevalyn Hall (see John Steegman, A Survey of Portraits in Welsh Houses, 1957, Vol 1, p.123 pl.17D). Her elder sister Ann married General George Boscawen whose family subsequently owned Trevalyn Hall. Ramsay also painted Admiral Edward Boscawen and Frances Boscawen (also dating from about 1748).
