Hi Charles...
Apparently it was not only a practice there but in other colonies as well.
This is rather interesting as a summary...

It was a practice in Plymouth Colony to grant land to indentured servants
who satisfactorily completed their terms of indenture. (Don't ask me where
I read that, I don't remember)

My ancestor, John Gardner(sp) who was indentured to Kenelm Winslow and
later George Kenrick was granted 25 acres at Green Harbor sometime in the
1640s. He didn't stay there long before moving on to Hingham.

Are there any records of these land grants to indentured servants?


thanks, Charles
