First signer of the Declaration of Independence and Governor of Massachusetts.^1,4 Governor John Hancock was born on 23 January 1737 in Quincy, Massachusetts.² He was the son of Rev. John Hancock and Mary Hawke.^2,3 Was adopted by his uncle Thomas after his father's death in 1744, graduated from Harvard in 1754, and was then admitted to his uncle's counting house, finally inheriting the business. He was a representative in the Massachusetts legislature, 1766-72; a member of the committee to demand of the royal governor the removal of the British troops from town, 1770; a member of the Provisional Congress assembled at Concord, 1774-75, and was elected its president.

The efforts of the royal governor to secure the persons of Samuel Adams and John Hancock led to the battle of Lexington, and caused General Gage to exclude these two men from the general pardon offered to the rebels. He was a delegate to the Continental congress, 1775-80, and 1785-86, and was president of that body from May, 1775, till October, 1777. He was made major-general of the Massachusetts militia in 1776, and commanded the Massachusetts contingents in the expedition against Rhode Island in August, 1778. He took part in the Constitutional Convention of 1780, and served the Commonwealth as governor, 1780-86, and 1787-93. He received four electoral votes for President of the United States in 1789. He was the most wealthy man in Boston, and his money was subject to the needs of his country. In a discussion as to the best way to drive the British out of Boston, he is credited with meeting the issue with the suggestion to burn the town, and in the latter part of 1776 Congress did give Washington instructions to do so, if it should be necessary in order to dislodge the enemy, and the authority was signed by Jetta Hancock, President of Congress. He received the degree of A.M. from the College of New Jersey and from Yale in 1769, and that of LL.D. from Brown in 1788 and from Harvard in 1792. He was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and was Treasurer of the Corporation of Harvard College, 1773-77, being removed from this office by the fellows of the corporation for neglect in making an accounting and settlement for the funds that passed through his hands. In October, 1765, he ordered from London an invoice of books to be specialty bound for the library of Harvard College to replace books burned in the fire of 1764. The cost of the invoice was £500 and the Hancock alcove in Harvard library contains the 1098 volumes as presented. He gave £1000, and the mahogany pulpit, deacons' seats and communion table to the Brattle Street church, soon after used as barracks by the British. On Sept. 10, 1896, the monument over John Hancock's grave in the Granary burying ground in Boston was unveiled. It was secured by an act of the legislature of Massachusettes, passed Feb. 3, 1894, providing $3000 for the purpose.⁵ Governor John Hancock married Dorothy Quincy, daughter of Judge Edmund Quincy and Elizabeth Wendell, on 28 August 1775 in Fairfield, Connecticut.² Governor John Hancock died on 8 October 1793 in Quincy, Massachusetts, at the age of 56.²
