Hello Betty Dobson, Thanks for replying to me and giving me your current email address. I'm sending you the below emails about the Richardson family(s). I am wondering if you have been able to connect my Barbara Ann Richardson (Mrs. James Ingraham) of Margaree, Inverness Co., Cape Breton, NS with your Richardsons, or if you were ever able to find out who the "widow Richardson" was in PEI? Perhaps the info from Judy Bingham might be helpful to both of us.

I pick her up with her marriage in Guysborough to (1) Joseph Henry Marshall, then after his death to (2) Charles (I think it was Charles) Hamilton. My understanding is that her father, Alexander came from Scotland (I have the place at home) and married her mother in England at which time they moved to PEI -- Charlottetown. I have other details but they're in my database on my computer at home. I don't know if Ann had any siblings or really much else about her. The information I have about her parentage was given to me by a distant cousin, and I haven't made the connection between Ann and her parents to my satisfaction, anyway. If this looks like something viable, or you hear from anyone else regarding this, let me know. I can give you more details when I am at home, which I'd be happy to do. Judy Bingham "J.Simon" <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Garth Staples & Guysborough Co. Listers, Am researching Richardson in Guysborough County NS also. I have an ancestor, Barbara Ann Richardson, who married James Ingraham, married apparently in Guysborough Co., Nova Scotia.. They eventually lived and died in Cape Breton, NS. James is buried on his farm located around NE Margaree, Inverness County, Cape Breton. Do you have a Barbara Ann Richardson as a Guysborough County cousin or sibling (aunt or uncle) of yours in your family tree? I don't have the parents of Barbara Ann Richardson, though her parents may have lived in Charlottetown PEI or in Halifax NS, as well as Guysborough County. Barbara Ann's dad may have been Canadian military (i.e., British military). Barbara Ann Richardson was born 14 October 1782, possibly in Charlottetown PEI, according to vague references from my maternal grandmother, nee Malinda Burton, of NE Margaree. Barbara Ann & James's marriage bond was dated 10 March 1804, and I believe that bond was from Guysborough, Guysborough Co., NS. I think a Rev. Weeks married them, but this is just from memory. They were married on 14 March 1804. It seems to me that Barbara Ann was buried in Hardwood Hill Cemetery, probably in an unmarked grave, somewhere around Sidney, Cape Breton, NS. She outlived her husband, James, who is buried on his farm in the very close general area of NE Margaree, Cape Breton, NS. There is a tombstone to the two of them, by the roadside around Margaree, which I have seen, but Barbara Ann is not buried with her husband. Perhaps she died near that Hardwood Hill Cemetery around the Sydney, Cape Breton area, if she maybe lived with a child of hers after the death of her husband. Any help on identifying the parents of my Barbara Ann Richardson (Mrs. James Ingraham) would be enormously appreciated. I have seen Barbara Ann referred to as from or of "Halifax" NS, but that hasn't been any help to me so far. Perhaps her father was stationed both in PEI (Prince Edward Island) and in Halifax NS. References to a "widow Richardson" in PEI connected to the Dobson family haven't been any help to me so far, either. I have always wondered if the "widow Richardson" could have been the mother of my Barbara Ann Richardson. It is rumored that Barbara Ann Richardson's father was military. There are Richardsons of that time frame in Connecticut, and so many of the people in NE Margaree have ancestors who came as planters or loyalists to settle in NE Margaree. As concerns introductions, I have several connections to Guysborough County. My great-grandfather, Baptist Deacon Donald MacGregor of South River Lake, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia, was a founding member of the Goshen Baptist Church in Goshen or Argyle, Guysborough County. I would like to try to find any traces of him in Guysb. Co. You have read my Richardson and Ingraham connections to Guysb. Co. I also have Hart connections to Guysb. County. My Hart ancestors left Connecticut, stopped in Vermont, I believe, and then in maybe Manchester, Guysb. Co., and then finally in Cape Breton NS. My maternal grandmother (nee Malinda Burton)'s mother, nee Armenia Victoria Hart (Mrs. James Frederick Burton) of NE Margaree, Cape Breton, was a Hart obviously. Her husband, James Frederick Burton, was the grandson of my Barbara Ann Richardson and James Ingraham, via James's mother, Caroline Amelia (Amelia corrupted to Armenia?) Ingraham. On the MacGregor connection to Guysborough Co., I'm the State Deputy Chieftain for Alabama of the American Clan Gregor Society, and I live in Huntsville, Alabama. I was born 6 March 1936 in Cambridge, Mass. to Dr. Judson Stewart MacGregor and Gladys Burton Allen, latter the daughter of Malinda Burton and Rev. Charles Wesley Allen. Malinda and Charles settled in Weymouth, Mass., and I grew up nearby in Milton, Mass. Love to hear from any of you with connections to my family! Jean (MacGregor) Simon (Mrs. Jack E.
