Misc:
The only source of information I have at present is a Letter provided by Dr. Albert Dobson of Abbotsford BC, from "Uncle Ed" (James Edward Dobson) to "Madge) in 1941: "Richard Dobson m. Charlotte Richardson, b. 23 Mar 1776. They were married 10 Apr 1793. She was the daughter of a British Army Officer, whose regiment was then stationed at Charlottetown, PEI."
This letter included the list of information from the family bible. Most of the information is reliable, but not entirely. There was a statement in the same letter that the Dobsons came to Halifax on the ship Duke of York in 1772, but that is not true, since the Dobsons went via Boston and a baby daughter died and was buried in Boston.
Richard Dobson and Charlotte Richardson had a son Joseph Dobson, who married Hannah Harriet Ingram. According to email information from Betty Dobson ("Inkspotter") to Jean Simon, Hannah was the daughter of James & Barbara Ann (Richardson) Ingram.
If Barbara Ann Richardson and Charlotte Richardson were sisters, then Joseph Dobson and Hannah Ingram were first cousins! There were a lot of first-cousin marriage in those days.
I have another interpretation of existing data which might complicate the plot still further:
Richard Dobson's older brother David "the spy" Dobson, b. May 1753, married Hannah, widow Richardson on 2 Aug 1784 at St. Pauls Anglican, Charlottetown PEI. If this Hannah was born about 1753, then she is old enough to be the mother of Charlotte Richardson born 1776. Thus David, the older brother, might have married the widowed mother, and Richard, the younger brother, 9 years later, could have married the daughter. [A theory only, but it is quite possible.] Your Barbara Ann Richardson, if born about 1782, could be a sister of Charlotte, and also a daughter of Hannah. [?]
