Sigmund Spaeth, from whom Legman may have taken this information, says it was 1886.
The chorus as sung at Harvard ca1900:
Oh, that little old red shawl,
That little old red shawl,
That little old red shawl my mother wore;
It was tatter'd, It was torn,
It showed signs of being worn,
That little old red shawl my mother wore.
