I don't fully understand your question but here is the answer to what I do understand:

Virginia and the other Southern colonies were settled by people seeking economic opportunities. Some of the early Virginia settlers were “cavaliers,” i.e., English nobility who received large land grants in eastern Virginia from the King of England.

I hope this helps!
