Excerpt from New Hampshire as a Royal ProvinceSome time after the charter was issued the Council began to grant tracts of its vast domain to such individual or corporate adventurers as applied for the same, and this policy it continued to pursue until the charter was surren dered to the king in 1635. The grants were both public and private in character, and the amount of land conveyed by them varied widely. Sometimes large tracts were granted away, at other times but a few hundred acres. Among the recipients of the larger grants were Capt. John Mason and Sir Ferdinando Gorges, both of whom were particularly interested in this part of the continent, while among those who received small grants and settled in what is now known as New Hampshire were David Thomson and Edward Hilton.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
