I concur with David McCullough, when he says (in the biography of John Adams) something to the effect of:
"It's not clear whether Franklin actually said, 'We must all hang together or we will all hang separately' or whether John Hancock actually signed his name in oversized letters so that 'King George could read it without his spectacles,' but it doesn't really matter; these legends have endured because they are in character."
