George's famous uncle, Captain Joseph Brant. His portrait was painted by the eminent British portrait artist Sir George Romney when Joseph visited Britain and was presented at the court of King George III. Evidently he was quite a hit with the ladies. Joseph was a man of considerable culture. With the aid of the Reverend John Stuart, he translated the gospel into Mohawk.
