  1690 April 2nd Deed [Henrico County VA Deeds 1677-1705, Compiled by Benjamin B. Weisiger III ©1986, p. 142] page 329 There is due to Henry WALTHALL (by assignment from his mother Mrs. Anne MORRIS) 650 acres, for importation of: William DODSON, George MIDDLETON, Sarah CROWTHER, John MACKDANIELL, John MACHELL, Elizabeth CARR, Mary FRANKLIN, Richard ELKINS, Thomas TOTTY and Tom and Moll (negroes) and Elizabeth PRATT and Joshuah PRITCHETT Notes: According to this source, it was not stated where Thomas TOTTY was imported from. BUT importation, mean the act of bringing something or someone of importance from a foreign country. This was a practice by the Virginian colonist's in order to receive land for bringing someone under the "headright system", even if the person was already previously living in Virginia and was just coming back from a foreign country visit. Also note that Mary Franklin likely the wife of James FRANKLIN was imported at same time that Thomas TOTTY was. May likely have been traveling together as neighbors. 1685 Nov. 17th Deed [Henrico County VA Deeds 1677-1705, Compiled by Benjamin B.
