John Hancock. John Hancock (January 23, 1737 â October 8, 1793) was born in Braintree, Massachusetts to a minister. As a boy he was a casual acquaintance with the young John Adams. His father passed away in 1744 and he moved to the home of his Uncle Thomas Hancock.
John Hancock was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence. He was president of the Continental Congress. He used large bold script and signed under the text in the center of the page. This is why, to this day, when you sign something it is called putting your John Hancock on it.
