Heer Overkirk is Henry, Count of Nassau, Lord of Overkirk. He was appointed Master of the Horse by King William III in 1689. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_de_Nassau,_Lord_Overkirk
Wikipedia's list of Masters of the Horse doesn't mention Lumley, but I think he's this guy, who was Colonel of the First Troop of Horse Guards:
