James Jay
Sir James Jay (1732–1815) was an American physician and politician. He was brother of John Jay, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. While initially a supporter of American independence, he later changed his views becoming a Loyalist and went into exile in London after the Treaty of Paris recognised independence.
==Medicine and education activism==
He was born in New York City, studied medicine, and became a practicing physician.
He was instrumental in obtaining the endowments for Benjamin Franklin's projected college (now the University of Pennsylvania) in Philadelphia (with William Smith, 1755) and King's (now Columbia) College, New York. For the purpose of soliciting contributions for the latter college, he visited England in 1762, where he was knighted by the king, George III, in 1763.〔
His writings include two pamphlets relating to the collections made for the colleges in America (1771 and 1774) and ''Reflections and Observations on the Gout'' (1772).
