Settlement of Jamestown The Virginia Company offered people willing to move to Jamestown a headright. Headright – 50 acres of land given to each person who could pay their own way to Virginia Official seal of the Virginia Company

one acre = 4,840 square yards, or 43,560 square feet In the photos above, the blue square represents one acre.

Cheerio, mates, how about working for the Virginia Company in the beautiful settlement of Jamestown! After all, only 66% of the people have died, so you have a 1 in 3 chance of surviving! Also, everyone that can pay for their own journey to Virginia will receive 50 acres of land, free!

And if we go, I will have to work! Yuck! It sounds tempting, but we have a good life in England. Why should we give up the good life? And if we go, I will have to work! Yuck! Sounds great! Sign me up! After I receive my headright, I’ll finally have land of my own! Umm…I only have one problem. I’m broke and can’t pay for my own journey. Too bad, you say? Darn!!

The Virginia Company began to hire indentured servants. indentured servants – an individual who worked without wages for a specified number of years (usually 4 - 7) in exchange for transportation to the colonies.

In 1619, the Virginia Company brought the first Africans to Jamestown as indentured servants. * Soon afterwards, Africans were used as slaves.
