| 59k | John Hancock (1737-1793) was president of the Massachusetts-provincial Congress and president of the Continental Congress (1775-77). As holder of this office, he was the first signer of the Declaration of Independence. Hancock served the Continental Congress until he became Governor of Massachusetts in 1780. He presided over the State's Constitutional Convention held in that year and also over the Massachusetts Convention of 1788 which ratified the Federal Constitution. With the exception of a term in the Confederate Congress (1785-86), he was Governor of Massachusetts until his death. (Painting by John Singleton Copley, circa 1770-72).
