In 1824, her grandfather Kaumualiʻi, the vassal king of Kauaʻi who had been exiled by Kamehameha II and forced to marry Queen Kaʻahumanu, died in Honolulu.

Harriet's father started a rebellion on Kauaʻi, challenging the rule of King Kamehameha II and Queen Kaʻahumanu.

George was captured in a few weeks and they returned his wife and child, but forced him into exile on Oʻahu.
