Biography	Tom Jack was an enslaved African on the Turners Hall sugar plantation in Barbados, who first appears in the records on 31 December 1759. In 1759 he was recorded as a potter. In 1771 he was a boy in the second gang. The second gang laboured in the fields, but was not worked as hard as the great gang. It would have been made up of younger teenagers, pregnant women, and people who were no longer able to work in the great gang, perhaps aged from around 28 to 50. Tom was born in Barbados, the son of Peggy and sibling to 'Little' Darbo, Phillis, Christmas and 'Little' Tony.
