The Declaration of Independence (I think that is what you mean) was signed by all the members of the Continental Congress.
There were Representatives from all 13 colonies, and while I am not sure of the total number, it was certainly more than two.

Two? There were at least a dozen. Among them John Hancock, Ben Franklin, Benjamin Rush, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson.
