Brant, Joseph (1742–1807)also known as
Thayendanegea Mohawk Indian chief, commissioned captain in British army, and war leader of the pro-British
Iroquois, born in the Ohio country. A protégé of the British superintendent of Indian affairs Sir
William Johnson, Brant served the British in the
French and Indian War (1754–63) and
Pontiac's Rebellion (1763–66). In the
Revolutionary War, he led Mohawk and
Loyalist followers in Lt. Col. Barry St. Leger's expedition to besiege
Fort Stanwix. With intelligence from his sister Mary Brant, he ambushed American rebel forces at the
Battle of Oriskany (1777). After the war, he obtained the Six Nations Reserve for the resettlement of Mohawk and others of the Six Nations on the Grand River near Brantford, Ontario. Nearly 2,000 Indians followed Brant there in 1785.
