	On 5 May 1623, records for the Council on New England say, "Christopher Levett to be a principal patentee; and to have a grant of of land." The next month, on 26 June 1623, the records note "the King judges well of the undertaking in New England, and more particularly of a design of Christopher Levett, one of the Council for settling that plantation, to build a city and call it York." The King proclaimed that Anglican churches across England should take up collections to add Levett in his settlement attempts.
