Notes from the Josiah Henson Book
Page 1
I WAS born, June 15, 1789, in Charles County, Maryland, on a farm
belonging to Mr. Francis N*., about a mile from Port Tobacco. My mother
was the
property of Dr. Josiah McP**., but was hired by Mr. N., to whom
my father belonged.
*Mr. Francis N was Francis Newman.
**Dr. Josiah McP was Dr. Josiah McPherson.

After passing his youth (Isaac Riley) in the manner
I have mentioned in a general way, and which I do not wish more particularly
to describe, my master, at the age of forty-five, or upwards, married a
young woman of eighteen, who had some little property, and more thrift.
(Matilda
Middleton) Her economy was remarkable, and was certainly no addition
to the comfort of the establishment.
Note: Isaac was born in 1774 and Matilda was born in 1800. They married
in 1818, making him abt 44 and her 18 years old. We learned of Isaac and
Matilda's wedding from an entry in the Bible of William O'Neale.
