Unearthed Artifact: Possible 19th Century Slave Child’s Shackle Sparks Historical Intrigue

No Comments on Unearthed Artifact: Possible 19th Century Slave Child’s Shackle Sparks Historical Intrigue

CAMBRIDGE, MD – Linda Harris, the Executive Director of the Harriet Tubman Museum and Education Center, may have a crucial link to the 19th century as she holds a recently discovered artifact believed to be a shackle worn by a slave child.

The significant find was presented to the museum by a resident of Wicomico County, who found it while magnet fishing in a creek that feeds into the Nanticoke River. According to Harris, “This was brought to us yesterday [Thursday] by a person who lives in Wicomico County near the Nanticoke River, and he is a magnet fisher.”

Upon closer examination, Harris drew parallels between the artifact and images of shackles worn by children in the 19th century, particularly around 1840 and 1850. “I pulled up images of shackles of children during that period of the 19th century around 1840, 1850, and this resembles those shackles,” said Harris.

The discovery has sparked numerous questions and speculations for Harris. “Of course, stories were swirling around in my head. Could this have been a shackle that was taken off, and the child was fleeing with his family or parents? Or could he have been thrown in the water and died? I don’t know. It’s all speculation, but it’s just a reminder of what happened here,” she reflected.

The artifact, believed to have been submerged for more than 150 years, is being carefully preserved. Harris mentioned that they are keeping it wrapped in moist paper towels to prevent oxidation. The museum plans to consult with an archaeologist soon to delve deeper into the historical significance of the finding.

The Harriet Tubman Museum and Education Center in Cambridge aims to have the artifact on public display by early February, offering visitors a tangible connection to the 19th-century struggles of enslaved individuals.

NANTICOKE, LUZERNE CO. (WOLF) — A community is reeling after a shocking murder-suicide in Nanticoke

Both people have now been identified and authorities are continuing to investigate.

According to a search warrant, at around 8:26 p.m. Monday, Nanticoke police were called to 389 East Union Street for two shooting victims.

Upon arrival, officers found a 23-year-old female, 21-year-old male, and an 11-year-old juvenile female.

Investigators observed a male at the top of the stairs with a gunshot wound to the head, and a black pistol laying on his body. He was later identified as Scott Richards.

Richards was taken to the hospital for emergency medical treatment. He was intubated and put on life support, but died Tuesday at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center according to the coroner.

In the middle bedroom, officers came upon a female with a gunshot wound to the head with no pulse, identified as Carrie Boneforte.

Police say a hole was observed near Richards, a firearm, spent shell casing, and a live round of ammunition at the top of the stairs.

The coroner’s office ruled Boneforte’s death as a homicide, while Richards’ death is ruled a suicide.

FOX56 spoke to a neighbor who came outside to see what was happening.

“My ring camera picked up the sirens and all of that on the street. I went outside and saw a lot of people standing outside. I overheard they had a lot of domestic violence situations and a lot of different family problems at home,”

“They also have an 11-year-old daughter, that’s also a big sink in my heart because I have three kids,”

Nanticoke Police Chief Michael Roke says that it was a “domestic/isolated incident that had escalated to that point.” There is no danger to the public.

Neighbors here are devastated by the news, and are saddened for the children who they say are living in the…
