When did the last delegate sign the Declaration of Independence?

Thomas McKean of Delaware was probably the last of the delegates to sign the Declaration of Independence. When Congress ordered the printing of an official copy of the document, including the names of the signers, in January, 1777, McKean's name was not on the list. He later signed the official copy, or the printer may have just made a mistake and left his name off. .
