The founder of the family in America, he emigrated from England in 1634 and settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The most distinguished of his numerous descendants is John Hancock, the signer of the Declaration of Independence from Massachusetts, his signature being the first because he was the president of the continental congress which adopted it.
