General Notes: Husband - Henry Boucher


He married and removed to Hamburg, Berks County, Pennsylvania, where he became a farmer and shoemaker. In 1801, in company with a neighbor named Jacob Will, he started west on horse-back for the purpose of purchasing lands and moving on them. They rode as far as the Miami Valley in Ohio, but there the fever and ague prevailed to such an alarming extent that they returned, and upon reaching Somerset County, Pennsylvania, purchased lands, to which they moved with their families in the spring of 1802. The land bought by Henry Boucher was about three miles from Glade. There were four hundred and fifty acres in the tract, and it was conveyed to him by John Gross. He spent the remainder of his days there as a farmer.
