1. He immigrated The Charming Nancy on 8 Oct 1737 to , Philadelphia, PA. ⁸ If you study the ships list for The Charming Nancy in 1737 you will find Johan Martin Becher who is believed to be Hans Martin Bucher. More significantly, pay close attention to the other surnames on board this ship. Some of these families intermarry in later years with the Christian Bomberger that Hans Martin marries into or the Bucher families. Researchers should suspect that many on this ship were traveling together from the homeland and migrated together to settle in and around Warwick Township, Lancaster County.
