Hi, this is what I found: Her maiden name would have been Harriet Ross
TUBMAN, HARRIET (ca. 1820-March 10, 1913), fugitive slave, leader in the Underground Railroad, Civil War scout and nurse, and abolitionist, was born in Bucktown, a small village in Dorchester County, Maryland, one of a dozen children of Benjamin Ross and Harriet Greene, slaves of African ancestry. At birth she was given the name Araminta, but was known as Harriet from adolescence. Although several of her brothers and sisters were sold away, her parents were never separated. Her first master, Edward Broadas, often hired out his slaves to neighboring farmers, and by the age of five Harriet Tubman was working full-time cleaning houses in the area and caring for babies; by the age of seven she was laboring in the fields and surrounding swamps.
Although never formally educated, she developed an inquiring mind and an independent spirit, and was often beaten or punished with meager food rations for disobedience. At the age of thirteen she suffered a serious head injury at the hands of the plantation overseer after she went to the aid of a fellow slave who had tried to escape. For weeks she lay near death. When she finally recovered, she was subject to sudden episodes of trancelike sleep, during which she had hallucinatory visions. She was to suffer from these seizures for the rest of her life, and people on the plantation came to believe that she was mentally ill. During her convalescence she developed a deep religious faith. In 1844 she married a free black, John Tubman, who did not sympathize with her determination to escape to the North. Later that year she learned that her mother, when a child, had been bequeathed her freedom by a former master, but had never been told.
