the American Revolution. He is best known for accompanying Jean-Pierre
Blanchard on his 1785 balloon flight across the English Channel. Dr. John
Jeffries also played a large role in the trial for the
Boston Massacre. He was the
star witness for the defense. He was the surgeon for Patric[k] Carr, who was
one of the Americans shot during that incident."
