Johan Jost Herkimer
Johan Jost Herkimer (also Herchmer or Hercheimer) was a Loyalist born in 1732, the second of five sons of Johan Jost Herkimer and Anna Catherine Herkimer of German Flatts, New York.〔Barker, William V.H. Early Families of Herkimer County, New York - Descendants of the Burnetsfield Palatines. Genealogical Publishing Company Inc. Baltimore, Maryland. 1986, pg 126-127〕 He was the younger brother of the American Patriot General Nicholas Herkimer.
==Loyalist==
Like his brother Nicholas, Johan was an established landowner and an officer in the Tryon County militia. Unlike his brother, he decided to stand for the British King when the American War of Independence broke out. This decision alienated him from his elder brother Nicholas who sided with the new Continental Congress and he was sorely tested by social ostracism. Johan spent time in patriot jails between 1775 and 1777 and was subjected to house arrest. In March 1777 he managed to escape and made his way to Fort Niagara. His popularity with the Indians and his knowledge of native customs resulted in his being attached to the Indian Department with the rank of Captain.〔W.D. Reid, "Johan Jost Herkimer, U.E., and His Family", Ontario Historical Society Papers & Records, 31(1936): page 215〕
