molly Brant was a Mohawk Indian and the companion of Sir William Johnson, a large landowner and the British Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the northern colonies during the time of the Revolutionary War. She was also the sister of Joseph Brant, a native American who sided with the British government against the colonies. They were both Loyalists.
She believed that the colonists were going to take Native American lands, and therefore she supported the British. She was also biased because of her unofficial marriage to Johnson. As a result, she convinced many tribes, including the Cayugas and the Senecas, back to the British.
She was a spy, and informed the British of Patriot movements and assisted Loyalists by securing refuge for them with friendly tribes.
