Ancient planter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"'Ancient planter'" is a term applied to colonists who migrated to the Plantation of Virginia "before the coming away of Sir Thomas Dale"[1] in 1616, and continued there for at least three years. These colonists received the first land grants in Virginia. Those who paid their own passage to Virginia received a "first dividend" of 100 acres, free of quit-rent. Those who were brought at the Company's expense also received 100 acres, subject to an annual rent of one shilling per 50 acres. Planters who arrived later than 1616 were entitled to a lesser grant of 50 acres.
