"only native Founding Father"? edit
What does the article mean by describing John Jay as "New York's only native Founding Father"? Is it using a weird definition of "Founding Father" or a counterintuitive definition of "New York"? Is it, for instance, referring to New York City rather than New York State? If it's New York State, George Clinton, Melancton Smith and Philip Schuyler all leap to mind.

It's a reference to historian Richard Morris's definition of 7 integral Founding Fathers including Jay. Hamilton and Jay were the two New Yorkers, but Jay was the only one of the two actually born in NY. Minard38 (talk)
