Tamer, who was enslaved by Comfort Smith, the Suffield River Tavern operator of Suffield, from 1770 to 1777 and then by Luther Loomis, also of Suffield, from 1777 to 1798. Her husband, Solomon Smith of East Haddam, purchased her in 1798 from Loomis. Solomon Smith was the son of Venture Smith, whose book, A Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Venture: a Native of Africa: But Resident above Sixty Years in the United States of America, was published in 1798 in New London.
