From 1615 to 1621 he was See also:governor of the See also:English See also:colony on the See also:north See also:side of Conception See also:Bay in See also:Newfoundland; he explored the See also:island, made the first English See also:map of it (published in 1625), and wrote a descriptive See also:tract entitled A Briefe Discourse of the Newfoundland (See also:Edinburgh, 162o) to promote the colonization of the island by Scots-men. Here he was brought into See also:official relations with See also:Sir Ferdinando See also:Gorges, then a See also:commissioner to regulate the Newfoundland See also:fisheries. In See also:March 1622 Mason obtained from the See also:Council for New England, of which Gorges was the most influential member, a See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

grant of the territory (which he named See also:Mariana) between the Naumkeag or See also:Salem See also:river and the See also:Merrimac, and in the following See also:August he and Gorges together received a grant of the region between the Merrimac and Kennebec See also:rivers, and extending 6o m. inland. From 1625 to 1629 Mason was engaged as treasurer and paymaster of the English See also:army in the See also:wars which England was waging against See also:Spain and See also:France. Towards the See also:close of 1629 Mason and Gorges agreed upon a See also:division of the territory held jointly by them, and on the 7th of See also:November 1629 Mason received from the Council a See also:separate grant of the tract between the Merrimac and the Piscataqua, which he now named New Hampshire. Thinking that the Piscataqua river had its source in See also:Lake See also:Champlain, Mason with Gorges and a few other associates secured, on the 17th of November 1629, a grant of a region which was named See also:Laconia (apparently from the number of lakes it was supposed to contain), and was described as bordering on Lake Champlain, extending 10 m. See also:east and See also:south from it and far to the See also:west and north-west, together with l000 acres to be located along some convenient See also:harbour, presumably near the mouth of the Piscataqua. In November 1631 Mason and his associates obtained, under the name of the Pescataway Grant, a tract on both sides of the Piscataqua river, extending 30 M. inland and including also the Isles of Shoals. Mason became a member of the Council for New England in See also:June 1632, and its See also:vice-See also:president in the following November; and in 1635, when the members decided to See also:divide their territory among themselves and surrender their See also:charter, he was allotted as his See also:share all the region between the Naumkeag and Piscataqua rivers extending 6o m. inland, the See also:southern See also:half of the Isles of Shoals, and a ten-thousand See also:acre tract, called Masonia, on the west side of the 'Kennebec river. In See also:October 1635 he was appointed vice-See also:admiral of New England, but he died See also:early in See also:December, before See also:crossing the See also:Atlantic. He was buried in See also:Westminster See also:Abbey. See also:Forty-four years after his See also:death New Hampshire was made a royal See also:province.
