From B. L. Colby, "Thirty-one generations, a thousand years of Percy
and Pierce":
"...citizen and clothworker of London, never came to America. He was a
leader of the Merchant Adventurers and owned the Plymouth Colony
patent. So little was known of the Pilgrims that for years they were
known only as "Mr. Pierce's Company." John procured the patent for New
England, superceding the Wincob patent, on Feb. 12, 1620. It conveyed
with self-governing powers a tract of land to be selected by the
planters near the mouth of the Hudson. It gave 100 acres of land to
each planter but confined them within no boundaries. Rent, to be paid
after seven years, was set at two shillings per hundred acres, but
1,500 acres were guaranteed to each "undertaker" for support of
schools, churches, and hospitals."
"John, it appears, was something of a knave. His original patent had
effect for only a year and in April of 1622 he surreptitiously
supplemented it with another granting him additional powers with which
he attempted to make the Pilgrims his vassals, but without success. He
planned to have no associates but to make himself sole proprietor of
the country, making the settlers his tenants and himself their lord,
subject to his laws and courts. Other adventurers sought to buy his
claim, which had cost him only 50 pounds, but he held out for 500 and
the deal fell through."
"In December of 1622 he equipped the ship Paragon and set sail to take
possession of his kingdom, taking along many passengers and much
freight. As if in retribution, wind and waves attacked the vessel and
14 days later she was back at London for repairs. She started a second
time the following February with yet more freight and passengers
crowded aboard to help cover the losses. A tempest fell upon the ship
in mid-ocean, felled her mainmast, washed away her upper works and
nearly sank her. Again the Paragon limped back to port. She was
repaired a second time and set sail under command of Capt. William
Pierce, John's brother. John's losses had been so great he was obliged
to make a deal whereby he assigned his patent to the Plymouth Colony."
"Bradford's History of Plimouth Plantation (by William Bradford,
governor of the Colony from 1621 to shortly before his death in 1657,
with the exception of five years) chronicles the Colony's history in
detail up to 1646 and is studded with references to both John and
William Pierce. Regarding the Paragon's ill-fated voyages, he wrote:
"This ship was brought by Mr. John Pierce, and sent out at his own
charge, upon hope of great maters. These passengers, & ye goods the
company sent in her, he tooke in for fraught, for which they agreed
with him to be delivered hear. This was he in whose name their first
patente was taken, by reason of acquaintance, and some aliance that
some of their friends had with him. But his name was only used in
trust. But when he saw they were hear hopefully thus seated, and by ye
success God gave them had obtained ye favour of ye Counsell of New
England, he goes and sues to them for another patente of much larger
extente (in their names), which was easily obtained. But he mente to
keep it to himselfe and alow them what he pleased, to hold of him as
tenants, and sue to his courts as cheefe lord, as will appear by that
which follows."
"Bradford then quotes from another letter written April 9, 1623: "Now
with great trouble & loss, we have got Mr. John Pierce to assigne over
ye grand patente to ye companie, which he had taken in his owne name,
and made quite voyd our former grante. I am sorie to writ how many hear
think ye hand of God was justly against him, both ye first & 2. time of
his returne; in regarde he whom you and we so confidently trusted, but
only to use his name for ye company, should aspire to be lord over us
all, and so make you & us tenants at his will and pleasure, our
assurances or patente being quite voyd & disanuled by his means..."
"Some sources indicate that John Pierce owned the famous Mayflower. A
newspaper clipping of a recent year pictures Sally Pierce of Seattle
and describes her as a lineal descendant of "Capt. John Pierce who
owned the Mayflower." William Ensign Lincoln states flatly and
unequivocally that John Pierce was the owner of the vessel. Other
sources add that Thomas Weston was his agent, suggesting that it may
not have been known even at that time that Pierce was the real owner."
"John Pierce certainly was the "recognized representative" of the
Merchant Adventurers and Weston just as certainly acted as agent for
Pierce and his company in engaging Capt. Christopher Jones to make the
voyage and in procuring Pierce's patent. Thus a statement that Weston
was his agent insofar as the ship herself was concerned is certainly
not illogical."
"Ames in The May-Flower and Her Log, presents a good circumstantial
case to support his statement that the owner of the Mayflower was
"probably" Thomas Goffe, Esq., a shipowner and one of the adventurers.
He makes a convincing argument, but it still remains that the ownership
of the famous vessel is one of those vexing questions which history has
not settled. It apparently would be just as difficult to prove that
John Pierce was not the "silent" owner of the Mayflower as it would be
to prove he was
