Yes an indentured servant was someone who was indebted to a "master" because of a favor the master had done for him/her, or because the servant owes the master money that he is unable to repay. The indentured servant actually isn't even necessarily the person who is indebted. Sometimes, the servants father, grandfather, etc is the one who began the debt, but the family is unable to get out of servitude. The servants were paid so little that they could almost never buy their freedom back.
