Hello Jean:
Your contributions to the group have been interesting for me to read.My
apologies for this tardy response to your query. My ancestors came from
Sackville New Brunswick (John & Mary (Flintoff) Richardson). A small
correction - I do not live in Charlottetown, P.E.I. but rather
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. I searched my data on Richardson branches but
could not find a "Barbara" unless I have her as "Ann" and did not make
the connection. I seem to recall reading at some point that the
Richardsons in P.E.I. were descended from a Peter Richardson but have no
note to thet effect. For now I must say that I cannot help you with
respect to Barbara Ann Richardson. Will keep searching.
Ivan

Hi, PEI Listers and PEI Richardson descendants! Hope you all had a wonderful
New Year, and that I can renew my zest for genealogy after bringing back a
tenacious cold from Florida over the holidays! LOL. At least I can laugh
about it!

Listers, you see the above quote from Ivan Richardson in Dartmouth, Nova
Scotia, whose email I just read today. I wonder if any of you know anything
about the PEI Richardsons, and especially anything about my Barbara Ann
Richardson, or possibly a Peter Richardson of PEI. My Barbara Ann Richardson
became Barbara Ann Ingraham, after she married James Ingraham of Cape Breton,
Nova Scotia. Barbara Ann was my 3-greats grandmother.

I know you need some dates for her. I lost much genealogical material in a
vandalizing of my car during a snow storm, and I have never recovered all
those necessary dates on people. However, I can give a helpful date. Barbara
Ann's mother-in-law was Sarah Wood Cone, or Sarah Cone. The latter, wife of
Hezekiah Ingraham, was born 18 November 1749 in Haddam, Connecticut. The
Ingrahams left Connecticut and settled in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
Therefore, I will give an educated guess to say that it might be safe to
conclude that Barbara Ann Richardson (Mrs. James Ingraham) was born most
probably after 1769, to be conservative, i.e., born some twenty odd years
after her mother-in-law was born.

It is also possible that my memory might fail me, that I have the wrong
ancestor that my maternal grandmother told me was from Charlottetown, Prince
Edward Island. I am 62, and I am sure that my grandmother told me that
Charlottetown info more than 50 years ago, so I could have the wrong ancestor.

Would love to hear from any of you who has genealogical info on the maritime
province Richardsons. My father had a step-cousin, Louise Hattie, or
MacHattie, from South River Lake, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia, who married
Roland G. D. Richardson, who was the Dean of the Graduate School at Brown
University, Providence, Rhode Island, my alma mater. He was Dean in the
1940's at least. I never thought that he might have been a distant cousin of
mine, but now I realize that that is yet a possibility. They had one child,
George, who was a designer for Corning, in Corning, New York.
