From book, 'Cape Breton Ships and Men' by John P Parker MBE/Master Mariner, gives a list of small schooners which were built and owned at Isle Madame, Cape Breton, N.S. The "Virgin" of 16 tons, built in 1844 at Lennox Passage, was owned by five people, one being Peter Bosdet.

A small booklet: St. John's Church of Isle Madame History 1928-1978 written by M. J. Bourinot

"... the early pioneers came to Isle Madame from Jersey, Channel Islands, seven years after the seige of Louisbourg (1758). In 1824, the first St. John's Church was established in Arichat. Although the descendants of Jersey ancestry were the greated number in the parish, many were of English, Scottish and German origin."

Peter Bosdet is mentioned as attending a meeting (Easter Monday, 1861), as well as David Gruchy; Dr. Henry C. Fixott; John H. Ballam; W. R.Cutler, Q.C.

May 14, 1904, at a meeting honouring Rev. Edward Ansell, retiring Rector of St. John's Parish, other parishioners mentioned included Philip Gruchy, Bertram Bourinot, M. D. Ballam.

In time, families of the above became related by marriages.

"The names of Bosdet and Le Lacheur were in the fish business in the early days as well as being General Merchants. The names of Creighton, Bosdet and Cutler show where they took part in parish work during their lifetimes."

Obituary of Peter Bosdet

"In this number we record the death of Peter Bosdet, an old resident of Richmond County and a native of Jersey, who came to this country in the year 1842 and subsequently settled at West Arichat where he conducted a merchantile business in company with his brother Thomas, who died ten years ago. He married, in 1853, Mary Ann, daughter of the late Dr. Charles Fixott of Arichat, and who, of late years has conducted the Sea View hotel in that place. The deceased always took a lively interest in municipal affairs and when his health permitted he was ever ready to give a helping hand in public improvements. He was of a most genial disposition, a true and worthy friend and a most kind and affectionate husband and parent. For the past few years he had been sadly afflicted with rheumatism which caused him to retire from active duties, and although at times, his sufferings were most acute, yet he was never heard to murmur. He had been permitted to reach a good old age and died in peace, and the memory of his work will long be cherished by his many relatives and friends, with whom we sincerely sympathize in their sad bereavement."
