- In April 1857, a boy named Tobe Lang “commenced work” on the Vann plantation. John Vann had hired him from Joseph Lang at a rate of $3.25 a month. Tobe labored through the spring, but on July 20 he left the fields to go to school. A few weeks later, on August 13, he returned to work, staying for three more months.
