OK, then:
Latinate am I And one of four. If Huan had devoured me He'd have quickly reached death's door?

It's a trick question. Huan can't die, except via Carcharoth.

That's why I used the conditional mood, and a question mark.

First thought was literal poisons - eg Belladonna. But she is not one of four, and I don't remember hobbit family trees enough to thibk of one who is.
What things are in a set of four? Compass points? Farthings? Seasons? It's not a common Tolkien number. It would have been interesting if bringing to death's door meant to physocally bring Huan to Thangorodrim or the Black Gate, but based on Pervinca's post above this sounds less likely.

You were fairly close with Belladonna.

Found it. Primrose Boffin. She has three siblings and is named after a plant toxic to dogs.

Toxic to dogs is right, and it is a hobbit, but it isn't Primrose Boffin.
3 siblings is right too. P.S. Besides, the Latin would be Primula! (vulgaris).

Pervinca is Latin, means dogsbane, and has 3 siblings.
Yes.

Okay, so... being a cheeky one, I guess the answer is not Elrond (the extra fathers being Maedhros and Maglor)?
How about Numenor itself? It came out of the three Houses of the Edain, so could be said to have three fathers (of the fathers of Men). And its daughter is Gondor, which hung around and eventually met up with Aragorn? Or, indeed, are you Gondor - your brother being Arnor, your fathers being... Elendil, Isildur, and Anarion? hS |

Umm. My first thought was something Numenorean, but I couldn't get it all to fit together.
That said... Tol Morwen? The main issue is that it's specifically not sunken, but other than that it fits: one of Hurin's family was buried there, and he found Morwen at the stone (and didn't freakin' answer her question, which has always bugged me). hS |

Tol Morwen is close, but not quite there.

Okay, serious answer it is.
Tuor, passed through Rainbow Cleft and he stood beside Egalmoth at some point, probably.

Happy riddling!
I was born in place up high Near growth turned to dust, and steel to rust. And long ahead my road did lie: I passed the wall, I hid from all. And many met me on my way: The one that came by many caves, The one that washed the grief away, The one that's dead upon hard bed. I always yearned towards the sea, Till in the war I was no more. But while I was, I lead with me A helper great who aided fate.

Tuor again?
I was born in place up high - Mountains of Mithrim Near growth turned to dust, and steel to rust. And long ahead my road did lie: I passed the wall, I hid from all. - Found Gondolin and stayed there And many met me on my way: The one that came by many caves, - Gelmir or Arminas The one that washed the grief away, - Ulmo The one that's dead upon hard bed. - Turin or Turgon I always yearned towards the sea, Till in the war I was no more. - Left Beleriand with his wife But while I was, I lead with me A helper great who aided fate. - Voronwe
