The sitter was the adopted son of Robert More of Linley (1703-1780), a politician, academic and botanist. He married a daughter of James Taylor of Much Hadham, Hertfordshire, in 1781 and they had three sons and three daughters. He inherited Linley Hall after his step-father's death in 1780. He served as High Sheriff of Shropshire in 1785 and he was succeeded by his eldest son, Robert Bridgeman More (d. 1851).
A 'Mr More' is mentioned in George Engleheart's list of sitters for 1791 and 1792. See G. C. Williamson / H. L. D. Engleheart, George Engleheart 1750-1829. Miniature Painter to George III, London, 1902, p. 106.
