Owen family.
Indiana family headed by Robert Owen, who purchased Harmony from the Rappites in Posey County, Indiana, with the intention of establishing a utopian society, New Harmony. Owen's three sons were major players in the introduction of geology, biology, and psychology in Indiana and the United States.
David Dale became a well-known geologist and the first State Geologist for Indiana; Richard took over David's post after his death, which led to a faculty position at Indiana University; Robert Dale pursued a successful career in politics.
