What does the Second Class Headright grant to the head of a family who immigrated before October 1, 1837?

The Second Class Headright grants 1280 acres of land to the head of a family who immigrated to Texas before October 1, 1837. This system was part of the early land distribution practices used by the Republic of Texas to encourage settlement and immigration. The Second Class Headright was specifically designed to incentivize families to establish themselves in the region, and the allocation of land was intended to provide them with enough resources to create a sustainable livelihood.

In contrast, the other options represent different land grants or were applicable to different classifications of settlers or circumstances. For example, various classes and different conditions could grant differing acreages, such as single individuals or later immigrants who might have received smaller tracts of land than those eligible for the Second Class Headright.
