Edy and Co.Provenance:Additional name(s):Biography/Administrative history:Brant (Family) : Joseph Brant (1742-1807) was a chief of the Mohawk nation and one of the principal chiefs of the confederacy. Joseph's sister, Mary (Molly) Brant (1736-1796), had influence both through her position as a Mohawk matron and through Sir John William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, with whom she had nine children. The descendants of Joseph and Molly Brant retained pre-eminent positions in the Council of the Confederacy. The loyalty of the Six Nations Confederacy to the British cause during the American Revolution and the subsequent move from New York state to the Grand River tract have been attributed chiefly to the efforts of Joseph Brant and Molly Brant.Additional information:General note:Select photographs received from Mrs. T.A. Hornibrook, Calgary, Alta, ca. 1971.Custodial history:Some of Joseph Brant's papers were preserved by his daughter Elizabeth, wife of William Johnson Kerr, who was himself a grandson of Molly Brant. Their son William John Simcoe Kerr (b. 1839) preserved the papers and added to them chiefly through negotiations concerned with the "Brant Farm" and other lands.Availability of other formats note:The collection is also available on microfilm, reel C-6818.Subject heading:- Joseph Brant, 1742-1807 - Autographs, n.d.
