John Coffin Jones

John Coffin Jones Jr. (1796-1861) was the first United States Consular Agent of Hawaii. He was appointed to the position in 1820.

He was considered an advocate for commercial interests in Hawaii, and was often in conflict with missionary elements in the island. [Lightner, Richard, "Hawaiian History: An Annotated Bibliography", p.71, (2004) Praeger/Greenwood, ISBN SBN 0-313-28233-1] His career was full of turmoil and complaint, and had limited support or instruction from Washington. [Johnson,Donald D. and Best, Gary D., "The United States in the Pacific: Private Interests and Public Policies, 1784-1899", p.59, Praeger Publishers , ISBN 0-275-95055-7]
