They're all members of the last generations of the House of Hador:
Hurin was held captive by Morgoth.
Lalaith, per Pervinca.
Aerin, per Pervinca.
Rian is a partial anagram of Aerin, and her husband went away only two months after their wedding, so 'maiden' is fairly apt (if not strictly true).
Morwen, per Pervinca again.
Nienor, ditto (she had golden hair).
Turin, once again per Pervinca.
Huor, who guarded Turgon's retreat.
Which makes the speaker Tuor, last of the house of Hador Lorindel - except that, by prophesied fate, he travelled to Gondolin, wed Idril the princess, and had a son, Earendil.
'All is not done', indeed; for even if the line of Elendil ultimately founders and dies out, Earendil still sails the skies as the Evening and Morning Star.
How'd I do?
