One writer on this list has stated that in my writings concerning servitude, I have suggested that nearly all who came to the Colonies did do as servants. That simply is not correct. A cursory examination of my works will reveal that I made NO comments whatever about any percentages or numbers of those who came for other reasons or of those who had the wherewithal or means to pay their own way, nor did I ever intend to speak of those latter categories of early settlers. My only purpose and thrust of those writings was to speak of servants alone. Indeed, the title to my article was "Earning Your Way" and the subtitle was ".... Indentured Servitude as a Means of Providing Transportation". So, once again, if any of you would like a copy of that article, please contact me privately.
