Nicholas Herkimer
Nicholas Herkimer (Herchheimer; c. 1728–August 16, 1777) was a militia Brigadier General during the American Revolutionary War, who died of wounds after the Battle of Oriskany.
==Early life and career==
Herkimer was the son of Palatine German immigrants Catherine Petrie and Johann Jost Herchheimer, from the parish of Leimen in the Palatinate.〔Jones, Henry Z. Jr., Palatine Families of New York 1710; 1985, Vol. 1, p. 388〕 He was born in the vicinity of German Flats in the Mohawk Valley of the Colony of New York, and was the elder brother of Captain Johan Jost Herkimer. Nicholas was of slender build, dark complexion, black hair, and not quite 6 feet tall. He could speak German, English and Iroquois.
During the Attack on German Flatts in the French and Indian War, he was involved in its defense. He was made a captain in the militia on January 5, 1758, and he repelled a second attack on German Flatts in April of that year.
Herkimer built his new house in 1764 near the present day city of Little Falls on the south shore of the Mohawk. He used a number of slaves on his estate.〔Falk, Cynthia G. "Forts, Rum, Slaves, and the Herkimer’s Rise to Power in the Mohawk Valley," ''New York History'', 89 (Summer 2008), 221–34.〕
