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.
