The grants encouraged people to cross the ocean and relocate to the New World. In Jamestown in particular headright grants helped to address a labor shortage and increase the number of new colonists.
A headright is a legal grant of land to settlers. Headrights were given to the head of the household with an additional allotment for each member of their household that emigrated with them. Landowners could then receive another 50 acre allotment for every passage they paid for additional laborors to move to the colony.
