This grave is unmarked. It is believed that Harriet may have died by her own hand. Under such circumstances, the burial would have been informal. Her parents are both buried in this cemetery.

Harriet married Lorenzo Dow Bencini on May 4, 1844, in Rowan County, NC. She would have been only about fifteen years old at the time. Two children were born from the marriage. Harriet divorced her husband in 1852 after Lorenzo ran off to Knox County, Tennessee, and took up with another woman, presumed to be Isabella Tanner. He fathered a child with Isabelle in 1851. Harriet's divorce was made public multiple times in the Salisbury newspapers before being finalized.
