"New Hampshire was a planned colony. The land in the New World was granted to Captain John Mason who lived in Hampshire County, England.

The original land grant or patent for New Hampshire was issued to Captain (later Vice Admiral of New England and the former Governor of Newfoundland) John Mason in 1620 by King James I and to that extent he is considered the founder of New Hampshire.
