| Notes |
- Original member of the Oneida Community.
She was one of four of John & Polly (Hayes) Noyes' children who joined the Putney Association, and a sister of John Humphrey Noyes.
In her youth, she and her sister, Charlotte, followed their eldest brother to many of his meetings. By February 1837, she, her sister, and their younger brother, George W. Noyes had made open avowals of their belief in Noyes' doctrines. A convert at the age of 19, she contributed more to the Community publications than any other woman. She joined the Putney Association when it first began and joined the Oneida Community on June 16, 1848 with her husband and son.
When Harriet married John Skinner in 1841, he was a two-year convert and an assistant to her brother doing editorial work for "The Witness." They had one son, Joseph J. Skinner (1842). She was for periods of time the editor of "The Circular" and a frequent contributor to Community publications. She taught both composition and spelling and was a housekeeper for John H. Noyes during his vacations at Joppa beginning in 1874.
Possessed of an intellect of "masculine strength", and an intuition which John H. Noyes said was "almost omniscient," she was tall, red-haired, and impulsive. While troubled with vertigo as a youth and feeling of self-deprecation, she improved steadily in the Community. Her niece, Gertrude Noyes, described her in later years as "having a childlike mind which unconsciously says and does the most deliciously naïve things." Harriet left the Community on June 1, 1881, with Mrs. De Wolfe for Niagra Falls where she stayed at the Stone Cottage with her brother. She died in 1893, seven years after John Humphrey Noyes.
