See the essay by James Horn in Thad W. Tate and David L. Ammerman, eds.,
THE CHESAPEAKE IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY: ESSAYS ON ANGLO-AMERICAN SOCIETY
AND POLITICS (New York: W.W. Norton, 1979); and the essays by Horn and
Menard in Lois Green Carr, Philip D. Morgan, and Jean Russo, eds. COLONIAL
CHESAPEAKE SOCIETY (Chapel Hill, North Carolina: University of North
Carolina Press, 1988). You might also look at David Galenson, WHITE
SERVITUDE IN COLONIAL AMERICA: AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS (Cambridge, England:
Cambridge University Press, 1981) and the historiographical essay by Richard
Dunn in Jack P. Greene and J.R. Pole, eds., COLONIAL BRITISH AMERICA:
ESSAYS IN THE NEW HISTORY OF THE EARLY MODERN ERA (Baltimore, Maryland:
Johns Hopkins University Press, 1984).
Hope this helps.
