The younger Richard married Alice Marlay, daughter of Thomas Marlay, Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, and Anne De Laune. They had one daughter Mary, who married James Cuffe, 1st Baron Tyrawley.

He lived mainly at Calverstown, County Kildare, the family home of his grandmother.

He sat in the House of Commons of Ireland from 1766 to 1776 as a member for Duleek.
