Harriet was given the name Araminta Ross.

She was born in a slave labor camp owned by a man called Edward Brodas, and she died of an inflamation of the lung.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Harriet_Tubman_by_Squyer%2C_NPG%2C_c1885.jpg/200px-Harriet_Tubman_by_Squyer%2C_NPG%2C_c1885.jpg

Brodas sent her to the store to pick up chicken feed. A slave owned by a different owner and his watcher were also there. That slave was caught trying to escape. The slave watcher threw a metal weight at him but missed and hit Harriet instead.

Harriet and John Tubman are married from 1845 to 1851.
