Go to Mail > Preferences > Signatures > assign which signature you want to use with which email account.
The handwritten signature I took with the iSight camera is not showing up as an option
Make sure you save it in Preview after taking the photo of it.
If you're still having issues, restart your computer and try again.
I think thats the step that I'm missing, the photo of it. I created a signature using the annotate > signatures menu. Do i need to create a blank PDF and save it with the signature attached or something?

By default Preview signatures are securely tucked away, and not meant to be shared between apps. There are ways:

However a "John Henry" signature is not really what Mail Signatures are traditionally. The Mail Signature is like a company logo with contact information for example. Not to say there would never be a place for it—however email is not a legal document—and not necessarily would you want your signature floating around in email.
For more complete control over Mail Signatures you can refer to this tutorial:
No. Preview should take care of everything after you click on Done and let that window close. Preview should also make it available within Mail, as per the previous directions, without the need to manually export the signature.
Thanks, much appreciated

If you really want to get at it, you can follow through:
I can say that it dosen't seem to be doing that, when i go to preferences in mail and signatures I'm not having a handwritten image show anywhere in there, however i can see it in preview
