Jean Georges left Etoben, France May 30, 1752 and arrived in Halifax, N.S. in September 1752 on board Ship Sally. Other sources suggest he died on the voyage over due to the fact that he was onboard ship when it departed Rotterdam, but was not found on the first vicualling lists at Halifax. The following excerpt was sent by Gwendlyn Christie, who is also a descendant of Jean George Boutilier of Etobon, France. "We, the govenor, President and Councillors of the Regency established at Mont Beliard for His Serene Highness, the Lord Duke of Wirtemberg reigning, etc., etc., declare to all to whom these presents shall com, that the within Jean George Bouteillier of Etobon, a village within the principality of Mont Beliard, having informed us of his poverty and of his inability to make in this country a livelihood for himself and his family, composed of his wife and four children, has asked permission to seek his fortune elsewhere, and the grant for this purpose of a passport for security of his voyage. In consequence whereof, we the governor and council require all such as may be required to grant free passage to the said Bouteellier and his family, and to afford him all the help necessary for the carrying out of his voyage under offer of reciprocity. In itness whereof we have caused these presents to be sealed with the common seal, seal of Chancellery, and signed by a Secretary of Council his fifteenth day of April, One Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Two.
