I'm not clear whether you are asking at what age a person had to be to claim a headright for paying for either their own and/or someone else's transportation into Virginia, or if you are asking what age did a person have to be to claimed as a headright by the person who paid for transporting them into the colony. I think you are asking the latter, for which there was no age limit on those claimed as a headright. Children could be claimed as a headright. Rick Saunders
