Note from Stuart Smith. 'Harriet was nanny to Col. William Light's children (incorrect - to Governor Gawler's children) presumedly on Light's return voyage to South Australia, she was accompanied on the voyage by her sister Hannah and step-sister Elizabeth. She died in childbirth with her 13th child, the Port Arthur Burial Register records Harriet as wife of Assistant Superintendent Chatfield. Harriet spoke four languages, was a musician and vocalist.' (N.B. Light did not make a return voyage as he stayed in Adelaide after his arrival in 1836, dying there.)
