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 (born Araminta Ross) did not have children of her own according to sources. In about 1859, Harriet Tubman returned to her home in Auburn, New York with a girl â¦ named Margaret. There is confusion about who Margaret's parents were and some biographers think that Margaret actually was Harriet's daughter. Others say that Margaret was Harriet's favorite niece.
