December 12, 1745
Jay held numerous posts of public importance throughout the Revolutionary crisis, including president of the Continental Congress and peace commissioner, in which he negotiated treaties with Spain and France. In 1787, Jay was named Secretary of Foreign Affairs, one of the nation's highest-ranking diplomatic posts.
