While doing some genealogy research regarding my ancestors in NY, I came across a census-based list of marines stationed at the Brooklyn barracks in 1880. Near the top of the list is the family of Robert L. Meade:

Image of Robert Meade edit
This image is of a different person than Robert Leamy Meade, namely the Irish general Robert Meade (1772-1852) of the 12th (East Suffolk) Regiment, who lost an eye in action at Rosetta (same source). This attribution is confirmed by the National Portrait Gallery, the British Museum and the National Trust. The lithographer was Thomas Fairland (1804-1852).
