  Noted events in his life were:

1. He was confirmed in 1824 in New Hanover Twp.: Falkner Swamp Reformed Church, Montgomery, PA. 2

2. Tax List: 1834, New Hanover Twp., Montgomery, PA. 1 Noted genealogist William E. Hocker, in doing research on Thomas Bucher for a client, noted: "As to Thomas Bucher, little is on record in the Montgomery County Court House, Norristown. No deed mentioning him is recorded. His will is not on file, nor is there any record of the settlement of his estate."

[Note: apparently Hocker was unaware that Thomas had moved to West Virginia.]

Hocker continues:
"The name of Thomas Bucher, single, appeared for the first time in the tax list for New Hanover Township for 1834, when his tax was 15 cents. The name appeared again in 1835 and 1836, but he was not then described as single. The name was written in the 1837 list and then crossed out. This suggests that about 1836-7 Thomas Bucher left New Hanover Township. Several Bucher and Schmoll families lived in Frederick Township, which adjoins New Hanover. Frederick Township tax lists for this period were also examined, but the name of Thomas Bucher does not appear."
