HAILES were granted 140 acres of land in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia for transporting three persons into Virginia; those three persons were Eliz. ROGERS, Mary JENKINS and Tho. GREENWOOD. (Old Rappahannock County was abolished in 1692, and the area formerly located in Old Rappahannock County is now located in Essex and Richmond Counties.) Thousands of Virginia's early settlers arrived in the colony as a result of the headright system. Under this system, anyone who paid for his transportation (or someone else's transportation) to Virginia was entitled to receive 50 acres of land for each immigrant transported to Virginia at his expense. In order to receive a land patent under the headright system, an individual would petition the county court for certification of these rights. The certificate was then recorded in the county court minute books. The petition for a certificate was usually filed soon after the arrival of the immigrants, while proofs of the claim where fresh. The documents certifying these rights, formally termed "transportation rights," but commonly called "headrights," were used as paper currency and freely sold, bartered or assigned to others at or near the time of certification. For that reason they could have remained in circulation for a considerable time before ultimately being "tendered" for land. Before 1705, these rights could have been claimed for multiple arrivals of the same person.
