   From the area near Munster, Germany in coming to America and believed to have been through the New York port of entry in the 1740s was John Bucher who settled in Lancaster County, Pa. in 1747. -- excerpt from "My Often Misspelled Name is Booher" by Allen G. Booher The Original Family "A certain native German, presumably (John) ? Bucher migrated to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1747 to escape German military service this being when George Washington was a mere lad of fifteen years. He married there but his wife's family name is unknown. His two sons, Martin and John, were born there where they grew to manhood and married. Nothing has been learned of their wives families. They later settled in Wythe County, Virginia and other localities where their large families ranged over a vastly extended territory. The name BUCHER, confusing to court authorities and its records had already been changed to BOOHER. There is but little known of the brother Martin except that he had a large family and one of his sons, John married his cousin Mary (Polly) Booher, daughter of his Uncle John, as recorded herein. The brother John lived in Pennsylvania and Virginia, was twice married, first to Margaret Etener and then Rhoda Ann ******, last name not known. The total count of his grandchildren is ninety-two." -- excerpt from "Booher Family Horizons," by Lora N. Booher
