Harriet Louisa Chase (Whitney, Mc Laughlin) was born to Phebe Ogden and Isaac Chase, in Sparta,Livingston, New York. Her father, Isaac Chase was 54 years old when the family arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on October 2, 1847, just a few months after the initial party of Mormon pioneers. Her mother Phoebe, two unmarried siblings,and two sisters with their husbands and two grandchildren traveled.
Father Isaac had been a successful miller in his home state of New York and later in the Mormon City of Nauvoo, Illinois. In preparation to continue his occupation, he filled a wagon with sawmill irons, gristmill equipment, a pump organ, farm tools and black locust seeds. This heavily loaded wagon was pulled by an ox team. He hired a man to drive this wagon but after a few days the man quit.
Because of this thirteen year old Harriet was called on to drive the team. (to drive an ox team you walked beside them). Harriet's wagon was the last wagon to go down the canyon into the valley in 1847.
Her father, Issac, built a sawmill and a one room shanty on Emigration Creek. A few years later a Mormon leader, who owned neighboring land and had married her half-sister Clarissa Ross, Brigham Young, joined with Father Chase and built a flourmill and a two-story adobe house in the center of their 110 acre farm. (That farm became Liberty Park. The Chase home became the Chase Museum of Utah Folk Art.)
Harriet married John Kimball Whitney on July 24, 1859 in Salt Lake City, Utah. They had a child George Whitney. She married second Ephraim McLaughlin on December 17, 1864 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Harriet and Ephraim had 5 children: Mary, Leo, May, Phoebe, and Willard.
