Who wrote the biggest signature on the American Declaration of Independence?

He wrote his name that big because King George had bad eyesight, and he wanted to make sure he could read his name without any problem.

When the British reacted and landed in Boston, they were specifically trying to get Hancock and Sam Adams, who they considered to be a main instigator for the cause.

The majority of men who financed and fought in the war for independence did not live in luxury afterwards. They died broke. So sad how fate works. But we owe our freedom to their dedication and heroism.

I think there is a insurance company called John Hancock. Interesting how things gradully fell into place to bring this country about

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night! 🙃

marimargo, Your comment is much appreciated, as it shows great gratitude. Indeed, all of us alive today have our ancestors to thank.

My husband’s family are descendants of William Ellery, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He was from Rhode Island.
