Thomas Sheridan was the only son of the Irish playwright and poet Richard Brinsley Sheridan and the soprano Elizabeth Ann Linley, although his father had at least one other son from a second marriage. Born in mid-November 1775, Sheridan initially tried for a career in politics but was unsuccessful.

![Thomas Sheridan as a baby in The Sheridan Family painted by Benjamin West c. 1776 although Kalinsky considers it would be around 1778 as Tom seems to be approximately three years old; she also feels it is a poor depiction of his mother but qualifies this by stating West typically was not successful at reproducing women's portraits.[1]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Sheridan_family%2C_Benjamin_West.jpg/500px-Sheridan_family%2C_Benjamin_West.jpg)
