Heneage Horsley Explained

Heneage Horsley (23 February 1776[1] – 6 October 1847[2]) was Dean of Brechin[3] from 1812 until his death.[4]

He was the 3rd son of Samuel Horsley, Bishop of St Asaph, and his first wife Mary Botham. He died on 6 October 1847. He had at least one daughter Harriet, who married Robert Jebb QC and had two distinguished children, Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb and Eglantyne Louisa Jebb.[5]

Mary Eglantyne Horsley, whose portrait is in the National Gallery of Ireland, may also have been a daughter of Heneage (Eglantyne was a common girl's name in later generations of the Jebb family).
