EARLY VA. GEE RECORDS

Note on the following: People living in the colonies would pay the passage for people
living in England to travel to the colonies. In return the colonist paying the passage
received 50 acres of land. The immigrants were obligated to stay in the colonies for 2
years. Many of them may have been sharecroppers on the 50 acres. After the 2 year period
the immigrant could stay in the colony or return to England.
