The headright system was used in Jamestown,_Virginia, starting in 1618 as an attempt to solve labor shortages due to the advent of the Tobaccoeconomy, which required large plots of land with many workers. It was also a way to attract immigrants. Virginian colonists were each given two headrights of 50 acres (200,000 m²); immigrant colonists who paid for their passage were given one headright, and individuals would receive one headright each time they paid for the passage of another individual. This last mechanism increased the division between the wealthy land-owners and the working poor. The headright system was only for males.
Indentured servants were granted land inland, which was near the natives. This migration produced conflict between the natives and the indentured servants. Later, Bacon's Rebellion was sparked by tensions between the natives, settlers, and indentured servants.

How did head-right and patroons help encourage settlement in the colonies?
The head-right system and patroon system were key incentives for encouraging settlement in the American colonies. The head-right system granted land to settlers, typically giving them a certain number of acres for each person they brought over, which encouraged migration and labor. Similarly, the patroon system provided large land grants to wealthy individuals (patroons) who would attract settlers to their estates, fostering the establishment of communities. Both systems facilitated population growth and agricultural development in the colonies.
