But I can be Salty if Desired
Third Born am I
I am twice the one
I Am not as well known
Fourth Born Am I
Many would use me to ease their labor
Yet two more brothers remain in this family.
I am Fifth Born
I am the smallest of my brothers
I'm known sometimes for my biscuits
I am Sixth Born
I bring the family together.
I am last until my oldest brother is born again.

I wondered if this might be the Gamgee family (Sam's generation), because Hamson contains "ham" which can be salty, and Marigold, May (which can mean hawthorn blossom) and Daisy are flower names (smell sweet) (even though marigolds don't have much perfume, and what there is is not that sweet). And because there was probably another Hamson born in a later generation.
There are six in this generation of the family, but the birth order does not fit the clues, and three of them are girls!
Back to the drawing board ....
Unless it's the lords of the Valar ...
Manwe (considered by many the most important), Ulmo (lord of the sea, hence salty), Aule (ease their labour? taught craft to the Noldor) ....
But even with Melkor cast out, there are one two many of them ....
