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.
The Headright System
Sir Edwin Sandys, one of the key figures in the early development of Jamestown, hoped that the headright system and indentured servitude would encourage settlement and agricultural development in the Virginia colony. By granting land to settlers and incentivizing them to bring laborers, he aimed to boost the population and economic viability of the colony, ultimately leading to its success. This system was intended to attract more settlers, increase tobacco production, and create a sustainable economy in the New World.
