John Hancock

|
John Hancock was born on
January 12, 1737. One of the things he is most famous for
is signing his name on the Declaration of
Independence. John Hancock’s signature on the Declaration
of Independence is the most recognizable of all. John
Hancock wanted the King to see his signature first when he saw
the Declaration. Hancock thought if the King was angry,
he would come after Hancock first. A quote by John Hancock is: “The British ministry can
read the name without spectacles (glasses), let them double their
reward.” John Hancock was Governor of
Massachusetts nine times, but during his ninth term he died.
