Fact-check: “Henry Wisner signed the Declaration of Independence.”
Verdict: False (98% confidence)
Multiple independent primary sources — including the National Archives official signers list, the U.S. House Biographical Directory, and the Harvard Declaration Resources Project — all confirm that Henry Wisner did not sign the Declaration of Independence. Wisner voted for independence on July 4, 1776, but left Philadelphia before the August 2 signing ceremony to attend the Provincial Congress in New York, and his name does not appear among the 56 official signatories.
