| Christian Daniel Claus was born in Beuningham, Germany in 1727. He arrived in North America via Philadelphia in 1749. Claus was soon working for Conrad Weiser, Pennsylvania's Indian agent, who brought him along to an Iroquois council at Onondaga in 1750. Weiser sent Claus back to the Mohawk country the following year to study native dialects. While in the valley, Daniel made his initial contacts with the people who would become central to his later life. He first lodged with the family of Joseph Brant at Fort Hunter; shortly after that he has staying at Sir William's home Fort Johnson.
