I'm a little late to this thread, but there is a very good, although
brief, discussion of the headright system in the introduction to the
first volume of Nugent's Calvaliers and Pioneers. You might try "White
Servitude in the Colony of Virginia" by James Curtis Ballagh for a
discussion of indentured servitude. It's a little dated (first
published in 1895, reprint 2001, Heritage Books), but an excellent
explanation.
