Note 20 — PART I Financing the Plymouth Colony

The most complete list of investors in Plymouth is that of the signers of the composition of 1626, ibid., 48. To these should be added Christopher Coulson, William Greene, John Peirce, Edward Pickering, and Thomas Weston. The Plymouth leaders accepted in 1627 the terms the merchants had signed in November 1626. Thus it is correct to refer to 1627 as the date of the final business settlement with the original company.
