 [[Virginia]] has been a state-land state in which property has been distributed by the colony or state rather than the federal government. Various methods of distributing land have been used.
-The Virginia Company of London, incorporated in 1606, granted land patents to settlers until 1623. These early patents have been lost or destroyed; however, much information on the persons (and their descendants) who received these patents is found in the Jester and Hiden source listed in the “Genealogy” section (also see the “Public Records” section).
