Biography:

At three months of age, the youngest Ennets child successfully escaped from Dorchester County, Maryland with her mother, Maria, her father, Stephen, and her siblings, Amanda aged four years and Harriet aged six years.  While they were slaves in Dorchester County, the Ennets family was split between two owners.  Stephen was the property of John Kaiger, while Maria and the children were the slaves of Algier Pearcy.

The Ennets family escaped with the direction of Harriet Tubman, this successful attempt was her last "trip" to Maryland, as supported by a letter from
Thomas Garrett to William Still on December 1, 1860.
