Virginia Northern Neck Land Grants, 1694-1742. [Vol. I] Gertrude E. Gray

The "headright" system, widely used for acquiring land in Virginia was never recognized in Virginia"s Northern Neck. People wanting to acquire land there had to purchase a warrant and obtain a survey before they were issued a grant. The original Grant Books, now on microfilm, were used in making this collection of abstracts, and they generally provide the following information on some 5,000 Northern Neck residents: the name of the grantee, dates of warrant and survey, date and location of grant, amount of acreage, names of former owners/occupiers, names of adjacent property owners, and often the names of heirs and other family members.
