John Jones (1729 – June 23, 1791) was an American physician who wrote the book Plain, Concise, Practical Remarks on the Treatment of Wounds and Fractures.
Doctor Jones was good friends with Gouverneur Morris, the "penman of the Constitution." James J. Kirschke, Gouverneur Morris: Author, Statesman, and Man of the World (St. Martin's Press, 2005) at 116.[3]
Jones and Gouverneur Morris boarded at Miss Dally's boarding house on Market between Second and Third Streets in Philadelphia.[4]
Benjamin Rush noted in his diary: "This day died Dr. John Jones…aged 57…He was much lamented by his friends and patients, as well as by his brother physicians. His manners were gentle and amiable, and his conduct truly liberal in his profession. He was without a rival in surgery in the United States. His education was extensive, and he spoke agreeably upon all subjects. He lived and died a batchelor."[4]
He died at his home in Philadelphia on June 23, 1791.[1]
