Edward Travers was the son of John Travers and his second wife Anne, daughter of Simon Thelwall of Llanbedr. His father acted as agent for the Trevor estate and lived at Trefalyn Hall in Denbighshire, North Wales. John Travers was succeeded as agent by his eldest son William, who bought in 1747 the property of the Bruens in Allington and moved to Trefalyn House which he partly rebuilt in 1754. On his death in 1765 he was succeeded by his brother Edward, the sitter in this portrait.

Edward Travers was a barrister and member of Lincolns Inn. Following his death in 1777 his widow Ursula married George Johnson of Chester. There is a monument to Edward Travers, his wife Ursula and her second husband George Johnson in Gresford Church near Wrexham.
