Headright and patroon are both used to describe land rights. Headright is the right of Native Americans to the sale and/or use of their land or minerals. Patroon is a person who owns rights to land under the old Dutch laws of New York and New Jersey.

A headright is a legal grant of land to settlers. Many early settlers to the New World received large land grants as the incentive for relocating to the New World. Patroon is a term used to describe a landowner by royal charter in the Dutch colonies of New York and New Jersey.
