One of Macready's sons was General Sir Nevil Macready, a distinguished British Army officer. The American actor of stage, film, and television George Macready claimed to be a descendant. His daughter, Catherine Frances B Macready, was a minor Victorian poet. Her book, 'Leaves From the Olive Mount', published by Chapman & Hall in 1860, began with a one-page dedication poem, 'To My Father'. The writer Rowena Farre (Daphne Lois Macready) was a great-grand-daughter of William Macready.

While subsequent children will strive to keep pace with siblings a few years their senior, the firstborn will always have a seemingly Herculean task of emulating his adult parents.”

“When our relatives are at home, we have to think of all their good points or it would be impossible to endure them. But when they are away, we console ourselves for their absence by dwelling on their vices.”
