Harriet Beecher Stowe: 10 memorable quotes on her birthday. June 13, 2012. American abolitionist writer Harriett Beecher Stowe was born on June 14, 1811 to Lyman Beecher, a Congregationalist minister.
Although some sources list that Harriet Tubman was born on March 10th, 1820, her actual date of birth is likely between 1820 and 1822, and possibly as late as 1825. Records were not organized or centralized, especially for slaves, during that period.
