Remove War of 1812 details; irrelevant to John Jay Biography
The current last paragraph under Jay Treaty, discussing the War of 1812, does not belong in this article. This article is about John Jay, who was retired and had no role in the War of 1812. That the Jay Treaty of 1795 did not resolve the impressment issue is clearly stated in the preceding paragraph. The desire of War Hawks to acquire land in Canada 17 years later is irrelevant to the Jay Treaty, which did not concern itself with land boundaries. I have edited the previous paragraph to indicate that the impressment issue would later be one cause of the War of 1812 and removed this paragraph.Contributor tom (talk) 22:18, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Four cases?
"The Court heard only four cases during Jay's Chief Justiceship." This is incorrect. I have in front of me volume 3 of the U.S. Reports, which has six cases heard by the Court in 1794 and 1795 alone (before Jay resigned as Chief Justice July 1, 1795). The cases are Georgia v. Brailsford, 3 US 1; The Betsey (Glass v. The Sloop Betsy), 3 US 5; U.S. v. Hamilton, 3 U.S. 14, Bingham v. Cabot, 3 U.S. 15; U.S. v. Lawrence, 3 U.S. 35; Penhallow v. Doane, 3 U.S. 44. The section on the Jay Court continues the error by analyzing the four cases by saying "the first case," etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.62.12.245 (talk) 14:29, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:John Jay (Gilbert Stuart portrait).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 24, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-03-24. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:06, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Alma Mater
Should Jay's alma mater entry show Kings College, the name at the time he attended? Perhaps "Kings College, now known as Columbia University".

Where is Information about his Children?
How come there is no real information about his children? Did all of them make it to adulthood? Did any die in childbirth? There is virtually nothing about his family at all, other than a list of children (which may be incomplete) in the infobox at the side of the article. Does anyone have more information?
