Public Service Announcement
During the winter of 1773, George and Mary Barker Dobson and their seven children left the dales of Yorkshire for Point de Bute, New Brunswick. They arrived in mid-spring and George succumbed to a marsh fever before the summer was over.
Mary and their seven children - George, Richard, John, David, Margaret (Wells), Mary (Jones), and Elizabeth (Anderson) survived and thrived in the new world. Their descendants have gone on to become business leaders, computer engineers, Rhodes Scholars, supporters of entrepreneurship, physicians… throughout Canada and the United States.
As part of this year’s Yorkshire 2000 celebrations, descendants of George and Mary Barker Dobson are cordially invited to the first Dobson reunion. It will be held in the church hall at Point de Bute, New Brunswick from 2-5:30 PM on Sunday, August 6, 2000. This will be an informal affair - a time to meet cousins, exchange family tree information (for publication in a future book on George and Mary and their family), and a potluck meal.
The hall itself is close to George’s land in Point de Bute and near the Point de Bute Methodist Graveyard, where George Jr., Margaret, and Mary are known to sleep. George Sr.’s restored grave, at Fort Beausejour National Historic Site is a few miles away.
Descendants of George and Mary Barker Dobson interested in attending the reunion are asked to contact Pat Wells Miner, 34 Green Hill Road, Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada E4L 2L8, email dminer@nbnet.nb.ca.
