John Beatty (delegate)

John Beatty (December 10, 1749–May 30, 1826) was an American physician and statesman from Princeton, New Jersey.

Born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, he rose to the rank of major in the 6th Pennsylvania Regiment of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He was captured at the surrender of Fort Washington on 16 November 1776. After his exchange, he was appointed Commissary General for Prisoners with the rank of colonel. By the end of the war he had become a resident of New Jersey, serving as a delegate from that state to the Continental Congress in 1784 and 1785. He was later a U.S. Congressman in the Third Congress from 1793 to 1795.
