Simon Girty (November 14, 1741 – February 18, 1818)[a] also known by his Seneca Nation name, Katepacomen, or "Renegade Girty" was a Pennsylvania-born loyalist and white chief of several tribes within the Shawnee-Iroquoian nations between the period of 1777 - 1812, and slave owner.[2] Girty is most well known for overseeing the brutal torture and murder of Col William Crawford in 1782,[3] and serving as the chief of a Miami tribe whose band of 400 warriors killed Major James Fontaine, the son of General Charles Scott during General Josiah Harmar's campaign.[4]
