Early life
Harmon Lambourne was born on 1 October, 1828 as the eldest son of Jonas Lambourne and Joan Lambourne near New Burdale. As descendants of large landowners who previously owned slaves until slavery was abolished in 1795, Harmon Lambourne grew up at the family plantation, where Lambourne received his education via private tutors, with his studies being largely influenced by both the classics and by preparations for him to some day inherit the Lambourne plantation.
In 1857, when Jonas Lambourne died, Harmon Lambourne took over the plantation. Harmon built on his father's wealth, acquiring more land until by 1870, Lambourne had "control over almost all the land this side of the Glen River between New Burdale and Blackburn." By 1871, Harmon Lambourne's estate was measured at around 75 square miles (194.25 km2), and his net worth was estimated to be around 255,961 shillings (in today's money, 289,800,751ſ04 or €36,104,953.84), making him among the wealthiest persons in the colony at the time, and the largest landowner in Saint Ellen's Parish.
