A Londoner who entered the trade at age 17, Harriott was a dedicated and prosperous worker.
He climbed through the ranks of the Hudson's Bay Company to become a chief factor for the Saskatchewan District.
While a fur trader, Harriott entered into two marriages, both with daughters of HBC fur-traders by Native American or Métis wives.
Although the marriage was not conducted by clergy when Harriott married Elizabeth he made a solemn promise to live with her as his wife until her death.
