Description:
Leather-bound book titled, "The Scottish Chiefs, A Romance", Vol I of III, which was owned by Carlos Allen (1805-1877) who lived in Richmond, Virginia and Chicopee, Mass, and inscribed "Carlos Allen 1839/ Richmond/ Va." The book, which was purchased at the Allen family auction in Olean, NY, July 1982, descended through the Allen-Stebbins family (see file). The book came to the three Allen sisters - Ruth, Mary and Agnes - of Olean, NY, from their uncle, Carlos, older brother of their father, Edmund Eliel Allen (1855-1939) of Deerfield, who married Harriett Burnett (1859-1947) of Springfield, Mass, and moved first to Buffalo and then Olean around 1888. His parents were Josiah (b. 1814) of Wapping and Mary Stebbins Allen (b. 1819), daughter of Dennis Stebbins (1778-1842) of Deerfield, who married in 1853.
