   1620:  Great  Patent  granted  to  Plymouth Colony, A group of English
   investors  known as the "merchant adventurers" financed the voyage and
   settlement.  They  formed  a joint-stock company with the colonists in
   which  the merchants agreed to "adventure" (risk) their money, and the
   settlers to invest their personal labour, for a period of seven years.
   During  that  time,  all  land  and  livestock  were  to  be  owned in
   partnership;  afterwards the company would be dissolved and the assets
   divided. --[2]labehotierre@wanadoo.fr
