These records and reports were submitted by a Descendant of Martin and John Booher in hopes of dispelling a false assumption that Dr. John Bucher of PA. was the father of these men. We hope this information will be helpful in your research of this Family.<\/p>\n

  1. Many people think their father was a Dr. John Bucher of PA.\u00a0His will<\/a>\u00a0shows he had only three sons and he did not have a son named Martin.<\/li>\n
  2. I have found the baptismal record of\u00a0Martin Booher<\/a>\u00a0in PA in the Rev Casper Stover records. Also\u00a0Baptismal Records<\/a>\u00a0of Martin’s Children<\/li>\n
  3. Statement of Elizabeth Booher Parrigan<\/a>\u00a0of Ky who was dau of John Booher of Sullivan Co. made when she was about 104 years old and my analysis of this staement which would be an aid to others seeking to find the Boohers in PA<\/li>\n
  4. Will of a Peter Bougher<\/a>\u00a0of PA who has kids of the right age and names to have been the father of Martin and John Booher.<\/li>\n
  5. Two pieces of correspondance<\/a>\u00a0from a church in PA where Martin Booher attended before he moved to TN<\/li>\n
  6. Wife of Martin Booher: Her name is given as\u00a0Catherina Hartman<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Will of\u00a0Martin Booher<\/a>
    \n

    Martin Booher’s Will was presented as evidence in a\u00a0court case<\/a>\u00a0brought by the executors of the will to ask for relief from the court. Some of the children felt that the land was not worth what was asked for in the will or were unable to pay. I tend to think the execuators agree with them as they are not bringing suit against them but are asking to for relief or how to get out of this dilema so they can close the estate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  8. As with any family research there is always room for errors and omissions. One can never be 100% sure! If you wish to continue this research in PA the\u00a0following information<\/a>\u00a0is provided<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    <\/a>John Booher, Elizabeth Booher Parrigan<\/h2>\n
    \n

    Elizabeth Booher Parrigan, daughter of John Booher and niece of Martin Booher is the nearest living relative from which we have a statement about the Booher Family. She gave this statement when she was 104 years old and died when she was 105 years old. Her report on the family was given during an interview taken by her nephew, Benjamin Booher in 1901 at the home of her grandson in Albany, Clinton County, Kentucky. It was reported by Benjamin F. to the family reunion in 1902 at Darlington, Indiana. She reported that:<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    “My name is Elizabeth Parrigan and I was the youngest Daughter of John Booher. I was born in Sullivan County, Tennessee 11 Jan 1797, and if I live till my next birthday I will be one hundred and five years old. We moved to four miles of Bristol, Tennessee when I was nineteen years old from Washington County, Virginia, Abington being he county seat We moved to Clinton Coutny Ky , one mile form where we now live 17 Oct 1858. I was married on 10 Aug, 1821, at the age of 24 in Washington County, Virginia, to Henry Parrigan………………………………<\/p>\n

    My father John Booher was of German Parentage. My Grandfather came form Germany to Pennsylvania but my father and mother were born in this country.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    My grandparents died when I was a child and my father went back to get his legacy when I was about 10 years old. Martin was my father’s brother. My Father had 10 children, eight sons and two daughters. They were Jacob, Mary “Polly”, William, Benjamin, Jehu (died in infancy), John, Frederick, Twins Isaac and Henry and Elizabeth.”<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    From this report we can conclude these facts.<\/h3>\n
