Addendum 2
Headrights of Orange Co., Virginia[1]

Headrights were grants of 50 acres of land per "head" - or
per white male over the age of 16 who transported himself to the
colonies. They appear in the Court of Common Pleas in the county in
which the land was granted. The attached file includes the headrights
copied from the Orange Co., Va Court of Common Pleas in the 18th
Century. These headrights function as the only real immigration record
for English, Scot or Irish immigrants in that time period. The
headright identifies the country of origin and generally the port of
entry in the colonies.
