Harriet Newell Young, a daughter of Matthew Henry Young and the former Miss Maria Remer Simpson, was born in the bounds of Lowdensville in Abbeville County, South Carolina. Her parents were both descendants of Scotch-Irish Reform Presbyterians; and her maternal great-grandfather, Rev. John Simpson, was a well-known revolution patriot, who loudly preached for liberty and independence from his pulpit at Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church in Chester, South Carolina.
As a young girl, Harriet's family emigrated west to the area around the western division of Choctaw County, Mississippi. Here Harriet met and married a young doctor, James John Tate in 1853. Harriet and James Tate would have the following six children:
Annie Elizabeth (1854-1878)

Robert Grier (1857-1878)
James Matthew (1860-)

In early fall of 1878, the Tate Family was stricken with Yellow Fever; with James and his five children: Annie, Frank, Robert, Mairah and William dying. Also, stricken was Harriet's father, Matthew Young; who came to live with her after the death of her mother.
Harriet and her surviving son, James Matthew, moved to Meridian, Mississippi to live near her sister, Mrs. Sarah Ellen Von Friederitce and her family.
