Description
Excerpt from Our New England Ancestors and Their Descendants, 1620-1900: Historical, Genealogical, Biographical
Bihen the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth they were not only outside of the limits of their patent, on a territory of a company from which they had received no grant, but they had settled themselves where the nat1ves of the soil might dispute their right of occupation. They exercised tact, wisdom and good judgment in their dealings with the natives and thus secured their friendship. By the gift from Massasoit, says Davis, the Pilgrims, without charter from the King, or patent from the Northern Virginia Company, obtained a foothold and possession, which under a charter or patent alone would have been usurpa tion and robbery. A patent, however, was necessary to establish their rightful claim, and the May?ower carried the news to England of the place of their landing, as well as an application to the Northern Virginia Company, for a suitable grant. After the Pilgrims sailed from England, the Northern or Plymouth Company secured a new charter from the King, dated the 5th of November 1620.
