Officially the "Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in New England". ~ Encyclopedia.com, New England Company
- The New England Company was initially an unincorporated joint stock venture, founded in 1649 for the purpose of converting New England Indians. The members were Puritans and principally prosperous London merchants; together they collected and invested funds, the interest from which paid missionaries' salaries.
