Frederick Douglas was born in 1817 in a log cabin located at the head of Kentucky Ravine just off the Tuckahoe River near Tappers Corner, on the old Aaron Anthony farm.  Anthony was Douglass's master.  The site is located on the Talbot County side of the river below Mill Creek and Wayman Wharf. A highway historical marker on MD Route 328 is six miles off site.
