Millard Fillmore was the thirteenth President of the United States, not John Hancock.

They presided throughout the term of the Revolutionary War and the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence.
it is located in the Library of Congress
All thirteen original colonies/states are represented.
The original name on the first written and printed version was "In Congress, July4, 1776 A DECLARATION by the REPRESENTATIVES of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA in GENERAL CONGRESS ASSEMBLED" Then Congress ordered it engrossed and signed by the members of Congress. The engrossed version was titled: "IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America" The engrossed version used the lower case "united" by mistake and without Congressional approval.
John Hancock was first to sign the document. A printer published a number of copies (called "broadsides") which were sent to each state. It took weeks for all of the signers to arrive in Philadelphia and sign the original document, and Congress did not want to wait to publish it, so it went out with just one signature.
The original purpose of the U.S. Declaration of Independence was to gain support from the king. When this intention failed the Continental Congress hoped to sway groups including the uncommitted colonists, Spain, France, and those that opposed BritainÕs control.

Charles Thomson, Secretary of Congress, signed the original document essentially as a witness to John Hancock's signature on July 4, 1776. Hancock and Thomson are the only ones to sign that copy.
