John Alsop, American merchant and politician (b. 1724)
John Alsop Jr. (1724 – November 22, 1794) was an American Founding Father, merchant, and politician from New York City. As a delegate for New York to the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1776, he signed the 1774 Continental Association. However, most prominent sources, such as the National Archives and U.S. Congress, do not regard the Continental Association as a founding document, and thus, very few sources recognize Alsop as a founder.
