[Tinuviel of Denton]

I know it sounds like a foolish question, but did the elves have servants?

I'm trying to write a fanfiction about Eol, and the Silm mentions his servants. Twice, once when setting up his character, and once when Aredhel and Maeglin flee. Also, Thranduil has a butler in The Hobbit.

For some reason, I was under the impression that there were no servants among the elves. Could someone learned enlighten me as to exactly what kind of position a 'servant' would hold in elvish society?
