Caption
Henry Davenport married as his second wife, Barbara Ivory, the daughter of Sir John Ivory, and sister of John Ivory Talbot, who owned Lacock. Henry III Davenport’s mother was Elizabeth Talbot (c.1630 – 1709), the sister of Sir John Talbot (1630 – 1714), who had also owned Lacock. He had a son, Sharington, and two daughters, Mary Elizabeth and Mary Lucy by his first marriage to Mary Chardin (b.1670/1). By his second marriage to Barbara he had four children: Henry, Talbot, the Reverend William (who married his cousin, Martha Talbot, thus inheriting Lacock), and Barbara. This is a copy after an original, also at Lacock. D’Agar was a Parisian artist, who settled in London, who painted in the style of Michael Dahl. He also painted, as a pair to this picture, a portrait of his wife, Barbara Ivory.
