Harriet Tubman's mother, Harriet â??Ritâ?? Greenowned, and her father, Ben Ross, were owned by Maryland slave owners and she was born in Dorchester County, Maryland. Her maternal grandmother came to the United States as a slave from Africa. Nothing else about her ancestor is known. Even the date of Tubman's birth is uncertain, due to the lack of records that were kept for slaves in the old south.
