In 1844 or 1845, Harriet married John Tubman, a free black. The marriage was apparently not a good match, from the beginning. Shortly after her marriage, she hired a lawyer to investigate her own legal history, and discovered that her mother had been freed on a technicality upon the death of a former owner.
Harriet Tubman marries Nelson Davis. Tubman spent her remaining years in Auburn, tending to her family and other people in need. She worked various jobs to support her elderly parents, and took in boarders to help pay the bills.[60] One of the people Tubman took in was a Civil War veteran named Nelson Davis.
