Born c.1841, 4-year-old Harriet was the daughter of lawyer-journalist Enos T. Throop Martin and the former Cornelia Williams, and the third of their eleven children. She was also a grand-niece of New York governor Enos Thompson Throop. Named after a paternal aunt, little Harriet's brief life was lived in comfortable circumstances. It is unclear whether she was born in New York City like her elder sisters "Molly" and "Nellie", or in Utica like her younger sister "Evie", but the four little girls, so close in age, played together in their nursery. For most or all of her lifetime the Martins lived in Utica, where her Welsh-born maternal grandfather had made a fortune in trade. During the mid-1840's, however, the growing family moved to Auburn to live with former Governor Throop at "Willowbrook", the Throop-Martin estate on Lake Owasco which became their permanent home. Harriet's death, c.1846-46, appears to have taken place during this transitional period, and it has yet to be determined by this contributor whether she was buried in Utica or in the Auburn area. The first of the Martin's children to die, she was greatly mourned. BIO by Nikita Barlow
