St. John's River Society

The land company which became known as the St. John's River Society (known also in Nova Scotia as the Canada Company, or the Quebec Company) was formed early in 1764 by a group of military officers stationed in Montreal. It later comprised 68 members, military officers, colonial officials, and merchants, in Montreal, Quebec, New York, Massachusetts, and Ireland, who obtained patents to five townships on the lower part of the St. John River.
