Richard Brunton (c. 1749 – September 8, 1832) was a British-American artist most notable for his work depicting the American Revolutionary War.
From a muster roll dating from May to December 1774, Brunton was listed as a soldier, a part of the grenadier company in the 38th Regiment of Foot.
The couple had one son, but he died in infancy on March 5, 1783, in the town of Pepperell, where the two went after being warned from Groton.

However, he was caught once more in 1799 in Woodstock, Connecticut creating counterfeit coins, and was sentenced to serve two years of hard labor in New-Gate Prison.
