The Colonization of New Hampshire

***During today's episode, you may hear intermittent audio crackling.  That is on our end.***  Not many people are aware of the fact that New Hampshire was the third colony to be successfully established, mainly because it was not formally organized until several decades later.  In today's episode, we discuss how the early New Hampshire colonies came to be and the differences between these New Hampshire colonies and Jamestown/Plymouth.  1622/1629 Patent Map courtesy of: By Decumanus at en.wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=11123499Read “Notes on the Recently Discovered Indenture Relating to David Thomson”: https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/moa/AAR8205.0001.001?rgn=main;view=fulltextMore on Captain Mason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mason_(governor) More on David Thompson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Thompson_(New_Hampshire_settler) More on Ferdinando Gorges: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinando_GorgesMore on the Council of New England: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_for_New_EnglandRead the Minutes of the Council of New England: https://archive.org/details/recordsofcouncil00coun/mode/2upMore on Rye, New Hampshire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rye,_New_HampshireMore on New Castle, New Hampshire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Castle,_New_HampshireThompson Island aerial image courtesy of: https://www.flickr.com/photos/docsearls/2507164419/Fife and Drum by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3748-fife-and-drum  License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
