契約勞工是十七世紀英國和愛爾蘭常見的社會景觀。在十七世紀，很多愛爾蘭人被帶到巴巴多斯。they were recruited elsewhere and were forcibly TAKEN to Barbados? Or did they volunteer to go to Barbados with passage paid by indenture?[需要解釋]在1643年，有37,200名白人does not attempt to divide owners from indentured servants. Kind of mean nothing out of context[需要解釋]在巴巴多斯(占人口的86%)。[67]在三國之戰中，很多蘇格蘭人和愛爾蘭戰俘被當做契約勞工，賣到殖民地去。[68]有報道稱年青人會被綁架，拐賣成為契約勞工。

Perhaps the largest source of information about these indentures are dozens of debt proceedings against Indians in David T. Konig, ed. Plymouth Court Records, 1686–1859, (Wilmington, Del.: Pilgrim Society, 1979–1981); Also important are the contracts reprinted int John Strong, "Sharecropping the Sea: Shinnecock Whalers in the Seventeenth Century," in The Shinnecock Indians: A Culture History, edited by Gaynell Stone [Readings in Long Island Archaeology and Ethnohistory, Volume VI] (Lexington, Mass.: Ginn Custom Publishing, 1983), 231–263, and in Philip Rabito-Wyppensenwah, "Discovering the Montauketts in Rediscovered Documents," and "Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Native American Whaling on Eastern Long Island," in The History and Archaeology of the Montauk, edited by Gaynell Stone [Readings in Long Island Archaeology and Ethnohistory, volume III] 2nd edition, (Stony Brook, N.Y.: Suffolk County Archaeological Association, 1993), 423–429, 437–444; Other archives containing Indian indenture contracts include contract of Elisha Osborne.
