Proprietors were landowners who often employed indentured servants to work on their land in exchange for passage to the New World and eventual freedom. Indentured servants were typically bound to serve their proprietor for a set number of years to pay off their debt of passage. The relationship between the two was one of dependency and obligation, with the servant working in exchange for land and resources provided by the proprietor.
