General Notes: Husband - Daniel Boucher

---

The founder of the Boucher family in America, he came from the German States of France, most likely from Loraine. The tradition is that he crossed the Atlantic ocean in a ship called the "President." In his Bible, he wrote that he, with his wife and children, landed at Philadelphia on June 20th, 1753. They settled in Berks County, Pennsylvania, in what was later known as Albany township, where he purchased lands and became a farmer. The location is twenty-two miles from the city of Reading, on a later railroad line leading from Reading to Slatington. He was of the German Reformed faith, and was mainly instrumental in erecting a church edifice called "Bethel," near his home. It was rebuilt several times subsequently, but retained the name given it by its pioneer founder. Little is known of him further than that he lost heavily in the Revolution, that he died in the early years of the eighteenth century, and that his remains were buried in the churchyard near the church which he built.
