Peter Rushton Maverick

Peter Rushton Maverick (April 1, 1755 – December 12, 1811) was an American engraver and silversmith, active in New York City and perhaps Newark, New Jersey.

His son, Peter Maverick (1780–1871), also became a well-known printmaker, and his other students included Francis Kearney.

Maverick is variously reported as being born in England, Cheshire, Connecticut, and New York City.

Maverick's date and place of death are also variously reported as either 1807 or 1811, in either New York City or Newark, New Jersey.

(The contemporary Newark Centinel of Freedom, 1811, cited by William Dunlap, reports both his birth and death in New York City, with dates specified in this article.)
