You can game the system a little bit. If you wear charisma gear -- like Reginald's Outfit, a Militia Hat and a pair of back rimmed glasses which gives a +5 to charisma total-- you can go above the cap of your base charisma. You can put the charisma boosting gear on and send settlers from other places manually. I've got a 6 Charisma normally, but I managed to get 20 settlers in Sanctuary using this method. I've got enough people for food, guard duty and all the stores (plus one extra in my recreational house). I may remove the guy from guard duty and throw him on my scavenger bench now that I've got a butt load of turrets. I don't think that 2 defense will make much difference.
