Thanks Janet for providing the three charters of the London Company. I have a question I hope someone can answer. It is concerning this statement in the second charter: " . . . for the more speedie accomplishment of the said plantacion and habitacion, that they shoulde devide themselves into twoe collonies . . .;the one consistinge of divers Knights, gentlemen, merchaunts and others of our cittie of London, called the First Collonie; and the other of sondrie Knights, gentlemen and others of the citties of Bristoll, Exeter, the towne of Plymouth, and other places, called the Seccond Collonie. . . ." My question is: Has it been found to be true that most of the first colony--the one which settled Jamestown--was from London?
