was john hancocks brothers name william?
Edit: John Hancock (signer of the Declaration of Independence) was an only child therefore he had no brothers or sisters. His father's name was John Hancock as well and so was his grandfathers. I'm not sure if his father had any siblings but his grandfather had a brother named Nathaniel Hancock.
