Caroline Dale Baldwin Allen Papers

CAROLINE DALE BALDWIN ALLEN PAPERS
Cataloged by Josephine M. Elliott

Introduction

The papers of Caroline Dale Baldwin Allen (Mrs. Bewley) were given to the New Harmony Workingmen’s Institute by her family after the settlement of her estate in 1991. They consist of 32 legal-size Hollinger document cases, 1 regulation size Hollinger storage box, a board game published in 1805, map, books. The collection is available to researchers in accordance with the Workingmen’s Institute rules for the use of manuscripts.

Biographical Notes

Caroline Dale Stillwell (1810-1983) Great great granddaughter of Robert Owen, through David Dale Owen branch and 4 greats granddaughter of John Campbell of the Bank. Married Mr. George W. Field, Mr. Louis Powe Baldwin and Mr. Bewley Allen. 2 adopted children from the Field marriage. 4 children from the Baldwin marriage. Mrs. Allen’s consuming interest was her family history which resulted in this collection and the book, Look to the Distaff.

Scope and Content Notes

The Caroline Dale Baldwin Allen Papers contain the records of at least nine generations of Owens, Campbells, and Dales. They consist of correspondence and personal papers, legal and business documents; much genealogical material; travel information; travel journals and diaries; writings, speeches, slide presentations of places visited; tapes and slides; photographs (a large collection of R. Owen pictures) of family and friends; original sketches by Owen family members. Dates covered range form the 1805 Board Game and 1804 original naval prints to letters written by Mrs. Allen in fall 1983 within weeks of her death. The documents are arranged according to creator, subject matter, type and date.

This manuscript collection consists in general of two basic sections: one, Mrs. Allen’s papers connected with her various trips in search of her ancestors, and second, the Xeroxes of the persons whose papers she has gathered together.

A number of themes are to be found in the first section: Mrs. Allen’s visits to, and participation in, the activities of New Harmony during the years 1923-1981; trips to England (1971); her Scottish search for ancestors and relatives by way of correspondences and visits to Scotland. All of the above were subjects for her writings, speeches, and slide presentations.

The papers collected together in the second section are the result of Mrs. Allen’s labors in the production of her book, Look to the Distaff, published by her family posthumously. It is as the sub-title states, “a record of nine generations of a family line, (Campbell, Dale, Owen),” revealed through the correspondence and papers of Robert Owen, his family and descendants, their friends and others. The greater part of these papers are not originals but Xerox copies, sometimes accompanied by transcriptions, of collections owned privately or by public institutions. With the exception of what Mrs. Allen called the Marshall Papers, all the other collections are fully and professionally processed.

Explanations and Cautions

The nomenclature used by Mrs. Allen for the various manuscript collections is no longer correct. The abbreviations she used which appear on the Xeroxed copies, the full name of the collection, and the correct ownership follow.

  • C.D.O.B. Caroline Dale Owen Baldwin Caroline D.B. Allen Papers (this collection) Workingmen’s Institute and never was a part of Kenneth Owen’s family papers. It was purchased directly from the Baroness Eleanor Stone Perenyi
  • Crawford_Baldwin Collection Kenneth Dale Owen Collection D.P. George Davidson Papers, Bancroft Library (University of California, Berkeley)
  • H.H. Holyoake House: Robert Owen Manchester Collection at Holyoake House, Manchester England K.D.O.
  • Kenneth Dale Owen Family Papers, New Harmony M. Marshall Collection Marshall-Wheeler-Story Papers owned by Kenneth Dale Owen.
  • P.O, Peggy Owen – C.D.B.A. papers acquired or inherited by Mrs. Allen from Mary (Peggy) Owen at her death, and now a part of this collection: Workingmen’s Institute.

A good part of this collection is made up of Xerox copies from various individuals and public repositories. The Workingmen’s Institute has no authority over copied material it does not own. Therefore, it cannot allow researchers to Xerox such papers. This may only be done with permission of the owner. Notes may be taken, as well as very brief verbatim statements. Consult the archivist who has the authority to examine the notes. Errors of fact are committed throughout this collection. This is particularly true of the information passed on by the grandchildren and great grandchildren of Robert Owen, and accepted as true by Mrs. Allen. Students are urged not to accept family tales without adequate investigation first.
