Richard Talbot (1772 – 29 January 1853), was a soldier and subsequently a promoter of immigration to Canada.
They sailed on the Brunswick from Cork and arrived at Quebec on 29 July.
Because many people deserted his leadership, he eventually brought only about 75 settlers to the newly opened London Township in Upper Canada.
