John Bucher ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

This John Bucher is likely related to the other Bucher families found in north Lebanon County in Fredericksburg, Jonestown, Bethel Township, and Hanover Township. Further research is needed.

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Census in 1800 in Lower Paxton Twp., Dauphin, PA. ¹ John Bucher is in Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County with this household:
Males (born)
Under 10 (1791-1800) = 2 sons
10-15 (1785-1790) = 2 sons
16-25 (1775-1784) = 1 son
45 & over (<=1755) = 1 father John
Females (born)

The next door neighbor is Peter Felty, significant in that Peter Bucher, born 1815 and christened in St John's Church in Fredericksburg by his father Henry Bucher and mother Elizabeth Faber, marries Elizabeth Anna Felty born in 1823 in Jonestown.
