Описание: Maryland state archaeologists are surveying a swampy stretch of Dorchester County land believed to be the 19th-century homestead of Jacob Jackson, a free Black man who played a key role in helping Harriet Tubman's brothers escape slavery. The Maryland Historical Trust is leading the effort to locate the site, which researchers believe was home to Jackson and his wife, Dinah. Educated and literate, Jackson farmed the land and worked as a veterinarian — carving out a life in a community where free Black people existed between two worlds. "It's fairly marginal land but it was what he could afford," Maryland Historical Trust Chief Archaeologist Matt Knight said. "To some degree you're isolated and that probably appealed to Jacob Jackson. It probably appealed to the other free blacks in this community because they are cut off from, the outside world somewhat."
