The company was granted a charter by James I on May 2 , 1610 giving it a monopoly in agriculture, mining, fishing and hunting on the Avalon Peninsula . They retained exclusive rights until 1616 when the Crown began to grant lands to others. The new grants were then initiated by the Bristol Society Of Merchant Ventures . The Merchant Ventures were made up of many who had been members of the London and Bristol Company.. Among some of the other prominent members of the London and Bristol Company, Henry Cary, 1st Viscount Falkland became a supporter of the venture. Cary had influence in the company through his wife, daughter of Sir Laurence Tanfield , one of the leaders of the Company. SEE ALSO
