I do believe there was 56 delegates who signed the Declaration of Independence.

56 delegates signed, but not all of them signed in Philadelphia. Most of the delegates signed it on August 2, 1776, but some delegates were not present and had to sign later. Two delegates never did sign. As new delegates joined the congress, they were also allowed to sign.
You can find the names of the delegates and their colonies/states @ http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0101022.html
