An archaeology team led by the State Highway Administration conducted research that led to the find.

Home Site of Harriet Tubman s Father Confirmed Found in Maryland – NBC4 Washington

Lt. Governor Boyd K. Rutherford joined archeologists, historians and officials Tuesday to announce the major historic find. The 10-acre home site is located in a 2,500-acre parcel of land called Peter’s Neck that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service purchased for $6 million last year. Ross was given the land and granted his own freedom five years after slaveholder Anthony Thompson’s death in 1836. Tubman, born Araminta Ross in March 1822, would have spent time at this home site. “The importance of discovering Ben Ross’ cabin here is the connection to Harriet Tubman. She would’ve spent time here as a child, but also she would’ve come back and been living here with her father in her teenage years, working alongside him,” said MDOT SHA chief archeologist Julie Schablitsky.
