David Hill (Mohawk)

David Hill (Karonghyontye) ("Flying Sky") (12 Jan 1745 – Nov 1790),[1][2] was a Mohawk chief during the American Revolution.

He was born in the Lower Mohawk Village of Tiononderoge, the son of Aaron Hill (Oseraghete) and Margaret Green (Tekonwanonronnih).

He was the brother of Aaron Hill (Kanonraron), who also became a prominent war chief in the American Revolution.

Like the other Mohawks Hill was a Loyalist, a close associate of William Johnson and a friend of Joseph Brant.

Among other things, David and his brother Aaron accompanied British Captain John Munro on his raid of Ballston, New York in 1780.
