Nicholas Bucher V ^{1 2 3 4}

   Other names for Nicholas were Nicholas Booker ⁵ and Nicholas Bugher.⁶

   FamilySearch ID: KZ1V-GH2.

  General Notes:

This Nicholas born 1804 is likely a descendent of Nicholas Bucher b.1707 who lived in York County, PA. (The other Bucher family in early Pennsylvania using the given name Nicholas was in Sunbury, PA near the center of the state.)

We have found no certain proof of a connection to a father in the York Co. line of immigrant Bucher. We can proof a relationship if a living male Bucher in the Nicholas born 1804 line participates in our Bucher Y-DNA Research as we already have DNA samples from immigrant Nicholas Bucher of York County, PA.
