	John Jay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jay was a leading abolitionist, elected in 1786 as President of New York Society for Promoting the Manumission of Slaves; as governor in 1799 he signed the law gradually abolishing slavery in New York.
		John Jay was born on December 12, 1745 to a wealthy family of merchants in New York City in the Province of New York.
		However, in the next two years Jay became first a moderate, and then an ardent patriot, once he realized that all the colony's efforts at reconciliation with the "home-country" of Britain were fruitless, and that the struggle for independence which became the American Revolution was inevitable and necessary.
