Brant's Volunteers, also known as Joseph Brant's Volunteers, were an irregular unit of Loyalist and Indigenous volunteers raised during the American Revolutionary War by Mohawk war leader, Joseph Brant. Brant's Volunteers fought on the side of the British on the frontier of New York and in the Ohio Country. As associators they were not provided uniforms, weapons, provisions, or pay by the British government, and survived by foraging and plundering. Brant began recruiting Mohawk and Loyalist volunteers in 1777 from his base at Onaquaga. The Loyalists were mostly of English, Scottish, and Irish descent recruited from the upper Susquehanna and Delaware river valleys. In 1779, Brant's Volunteers defeated the American militia at the Battle of Minisink, but were brushed aside by the Continental Army at the Battle of Newtown. By late 1783, just 15 Loyalists remained with Brant's Volunteers. Many of these later settled with Joseph Brant and the Mohawk on the reserve established in 1784 along the Grand River in what is now Ontario.
