The "Society for Propagation of the Gospel in New England" was chartered in 1649 for the purpose of converting the New England Indians. In 1661/62 it was rechartered and named the "Company for Propagation of the Gospel in New England and the parts adjacent in America." The Company sponsored missionaries in America until the Revolutionary War at which time its missionary activities were turned to Canada.
