John Hancock January 23, 1737 – October 8, 1793 was an American Founding
Father, merchant, statesman, and prominent Patriot of the American
Revolution. He served as president of the Second Continental Congress and
was the first and third Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He is
remembered for his large and stylish signature on the United States
Declaration of Independence, so much so that the term John Hancock or
Hancock has become a nickname in the United States for one's signature.
