I've got a list of signers of a document that is over 200 years old.

If you add Paul Bunyan to that list, what will that establish a thousand years from now?

This is a new one. I've heard of people debating the merits of Santa Claus. Never heard anyone doubt the authenticity of St. Nicholas. Is your beef with his existence because he's been co-opted in a way into the Santa Claus character, or do you have a problem with the authenticity of any historical character from over 1,500 years ago?

Unfortunately, they didn't have Wikipedia.com back then, so it's not as if archived documentation is plentiful.

But, Paul Bunyan IS NOT on the list.

Now, is the sentence above evidence in 2000 years that Paul Bunyan is not on the Declaration of Independence list if our civilization falls and this blurb of digits is discovered by some researcher many years from now?
