The following is an entry from her father Benjamin Percival's diary (pg. 224):

"wednesday Feby 4th 1801 this Evening at about half after Seven oclock Departed this life our youngest Daughter Harriet aged two years four months and twenty days after a lingering illness of six or seven weeks which she bore with unexampled patience and expired without a groan. She was a pleasant and agreable Child of a placid and Patient disposition and even appeared lovely in death. her disorder appeared to be in her breast with Dificulty in breathing which baffled the Dockters skill to find a name for."
