Homer Fauntleroy (1866-1952)"""In 1827, Robert Henry Fauntleroy moved from Virginia to New Harmony, Indiana. There he married Jane Dale Owen, one of the five children of social reformer Robert Owen, who had purchased the town in 1825. As an engineer, Fauntleroy was awarded patents for two inventions. He was an Assistant in the U. S. Coast Survey, reporting directly to the Superintendent, at the time of his death. The name Fauntleroy is well known in modern New Harmony, and The Old Fauntleroy Home is visited by hundreds tourists each year. The home has been associated with several members of the Fauntleroy family, beginning with Robert Henry Fauntleroy, who bought the home from Oliver Evans, Jr., in 1840."
