Isaac Dekayenensere had at least two wives, two sons, and a number of daughters. His sons were Joseph and Lawrence, husband of Elizabeth of Schoharie (see Figs 11-3 and 14-4). His daughters were: Margaret, who married Jacob Canadiorha; Elizabeth, who married Thomas son of Alida on August 1 1, 1754; Eva, who married Sherrick (or Shadduck) and was later married to Jacob (they may have been the same person) on May 5, 1759; Neggan Aoghyatonghsera, and her half-sister Susanna, who both married the Mohawk chief, Joseph Brant.

That year, he wed his first wife Margaret (“Peggie”), an assimilated slave and the daughter of unknown Virginia planters. They had two children: Isaac, who died after a fight with his father (by most accounts, Joseph Brant was acting in self-defense), and Christina. After Margaret died of tuberculosis in 1771, Brant wed Margaret’s half-sister Susanna two years later. In 1778, she also died of tuberculosis. Little is known about her.
