After the war, Harriet returned home to Auburn. In 1869, she married Nelson Davis and together they shared a calm, peaceful 19 year marriage until he died. The quote below, echoing Patrick Henry, is the Sarah Bradford biography, The Moses of Her People, of Harriet Tubman: Harriet was now left alone, . . .
In preparation to her escape she changed her name to Harriet, after her mother, and adopted her husbandâs last name, Tubman. Changing their given and last names was a common occurrence among fugitive slaves. They did not want to leave traces, all they wanted was a total break from their lives in bondage. Fugitive slaves had to cross the Mason-Dixon Line to be free. Harriet Tubmanâs exact route to freedom is unknown.
