John Mason and Ferdinando Gorges were English colonizers and adventurers in the early 17th century. Mason was granted land in New England, leading to the establishment of the Province of New Hampshire, while Gorges played a significant role in the founding of the Province of Maine. Both were pivotal figures in early colonial ventures, seeking to expand English influence in North America. Their efforts laid the groundwork for later settlements and developments in the region.
Sir Ferdinando Gorges
Sir Ferdinando Gorges had Maine and John Mason governed New Hampshire.
They were the two people from Europe who first settled the colony New Hampshire, I think... or they led colonists there first.
In 1622, Mason and Sir Ferdinando Gorges received a patent from the Council for New England for all the territory lying between the Merrimack and Kennebec rivers.
My sources say it was to Sir Fernando Gorges and John Mason. In 1629, Mason took the land between the Piscataqua and Merrimack Rivers, and named it New Hampshire; Gorges took the Northern part and named it Maine. *George Calvert
