The Bott homestead on Prince Edward Island, Canada. John Richard Bott emigrated there from Jersey, with his wife Anne, nee Picot, in 1824. He was a teacher and advertised his services soon after his arrival: Mr J R Botts, being sensible of the great utility of such an institution in this Town, and desirous to render himself as useful as possible to the rising generation, respectfully informs his friends and the public that he proposes to open a French Evening School immediately, for those whose occupation may prevent them from attending a day school, and assures them that every exertion will be made to advance his pupils, and every attention paid to their comfort. I trust that they will soon be enabled to undertake any kind of business in the French language. Private tuition duly attended to, and for greater conveniency of payment he will take, if necessary at cash price
