Harriet Tubman is born in Dorchester county, Maryland. The exact date of her birth is unknown. Named Araminta Ross at birth, she is the daughter of Benjamin Ross and Harriet Green. She later takes her mother’s first name. Born into slavery, she begins work as a young child. She works variously as a maid, nurse, field hand, cook, and woodcutter.
Although slaves were not legally allowed to marry, she marries John Tubman, a free black man, and takes his last name. While her husband is a free man, Tubman is still a slave.
