From 1606 until 1624, Proprietary Governors oversaw the operation of the Virginia Colony.
After the Virginia Company of London lost its proprietary charter in 1624, Royal Governors oversaw the interests of the Crown in the Virginia Colony until the American Revolution, except for a period under Oliver Cromwell and the Commonwealth of England from 1652-1660.
Proprietary colonies differed from chartered colonies in that the public revenue of the colony belonged to the private proprietor rather than to the common shareholders of the chartered corporation and the freemen who subsequently became residents.
To profit from the development of his colony, collect quitrents and fines, and recover land from settlers without heirs or who failed to meet the terms of their contracts, each proprietor required a system of territorial administration.
Almost from the beginning, in all the proprietary colonies except New York, proprietors and their executive officials were dependent on annual appropriations of their legislatures, which set specific rates of duties and direct taxes.
