Can anyone on the list, please, tell me who - if anyone - besides JOhn Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776?? One source said that Josiah Bartlett (listed by World Book Encyclopedia as the second to sign) signed on July 4, while another source said that he (Bartlett) signed on August 2nd. Also, did Thomason sign on the 4th or was he just merely witnessing JOhn Hancock's signature? Also, are we to assume that the copy Hancock signed on the 4th was not the same Copy that was signed on August 2, 1776? I believe that new copies were made. Then would we have to assume that he (Hancock) had to sign again (a new copy) on August 2, 1776? Thank you,
