David, I believe that the first Boucher in the Dutch Colony is Simon Boucher. He went to Amsterdam, Netherlands, from France, to sail to New Amsterdam, Nieuw Netherland (now New York City, NY) where he arrived the same year, 1658, with my ancestor Willem Van Vredenburgh. Simon Boucher settled in Claverack, near Albany, New York. He came as a bachelor and his fare was paid by another French Huguenot. http://www.familysearch,com shows Johannes Boucher, who was baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church in Claverack, Columbia, New York, on 8 Nov 1795, and John Boucher, who was baptized in the same church as above on 2 Oct 1803, as direct descendants of the emigrant Simon Boucher. Ten years later on 17 July 1668 an Anne Boutcher marrying a Vincent Ronignon in Piscataway, NJ. Source: Register of The National Huguenot Society, p.217. If my ancestor John Boutcher / Boucher purchased land in Philadelphia in 1694, does it mean that he arrived in America the same year he purchased the land? If so, I will search for the name of a ship in 1694 in the Library of Congress. Regards, Jean Boutcher -

Posted on: BUTCHER Queries Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/surnames/b/u/BUTCHER/queries?read=24 Surname: Butcher, Wiffin ------------------------- I am searching for information on my grandfather John Wiffin and his parents Sarah Butcher and Thomas or John Wiffin. My grandfather was born in England, probably in the period 1860 to 1862, emigrated to Canada about 1883, married in Hamilton Ontario in 1890 and died in Hamilton in 1920. The church marriage registry gives his parents names as Sarah Butcher and Thomas Wiffin but there is the possibility that his father was also known as John Wiffin. I have searched the Index of Birth Records of the General Register Office for the years 1860 to 1862 and have found 9 possible entries. 1860 - March quarter Whiffin, John Peleg, Bethnal Green, Vol 1c Page 294 Wiffen, John, Chelmsford, Vol 4a Page 159 Wiffin, John, Camberwell, Vol 1d Page 521 1860 - June quarter Wiffen, William John, Chelmsford, Vol 4a Page 139 1860 - December quarter Whiffin, John James, St. George East, Vol 1c Page 433 1861 - June quarter Wiffin, John William, Sudbury, Vol 4a Page 412 1861 - September quarter Wiffin, John, Romford, Vol 4a Page 86 1862 - March quarter Wiffin, John, Medway, Vol 2a Page 379 1862 - December quarter Whiffen, John, Malling, Vol 2a Page 387 If anyone can confirm or reject any of the above GRO entries for a John Wiffin with parents Sarah Butcher and Thomas/John Wiffin it would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings, gsb00979@mail.wvnet.edu I thought you would be interested in knowing about this computer virus... Virus Name: WScript/Kak.worm Virus Characteristics: This worm was first discovered by AVERT in December and added detection for it within 4051 DAT updates. Virus Patrol, a newsgroup scanning program from NAI, continues to identify occurrences of this Internet worm in newsgroup postings which is an indication that worm is continuing to spread. AVERT recommends adding ".HTA" to file extensions scanned for protection, and also ensure users have installed the security patch from Microsoft mentioned below. Another dangerous aspect of this Internet worm is the ability to continuously re-infect yourself if the preview pane is enabled and you browse between folders specifically the "sent" folder which happens to contain the Internet worm within a message. This is another strong reason to update to the security patch, if not already.* This is an Internet worm which uses ActiveX and Windows Scripting Host to propagate itself through email using MS Outlook. This worm consists of 3 components, an HTA file (HTML for Applications), a REG file (Registration Entries Update) and a BAT file (MS-DOS Batch). The method used to integrate these components is to have first composed an email message in HTML which supports scripting. Using an ActiveX exploit known as "Scriptlet TypeLib", the script writes an HTA file to the local machine, typically in the startup folder. This will launch the code embedded in the HTA file at the next Windows startup. Microsoft has published a security update which addresses this ActiveX exploit and users are encouraged to update their systems with this component. With this update installed, users are questioned if they wish to run the ActiveX control which is marked "safe for scripting". For more details on this vulnerability and to obtain a patch from Microsoft, see this link:Microsoft Security Bulletin For current security bulletins from Microsoft, see this link:Current Bulletins. Email messages written in HTML format will be coded with the Internet worm on infected systems due to the default signature modification on infected systems. The email application Outlook is a target of this Internet worm for propagation due to its support for HTML format messages. If an email message is coded with the WScript/Kak.worm code and it is allowed to run, files are written to the local machine in different locations- c:\windows\kak.htm c:\windows\system\(name).hta c:\windows\Menu Dimarrer\Programmes\Dimarrage\kak.hta c:\windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\kak.hta In the above list, "(name)" is a random 8 character name (e.g. 98278AE0.HTA). The path name of "Dimarrage" gives us an indication that its origin is France with target installations of French Windows 9x operating systems; the secondary path targets English installations. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file is modified to run the file KAK.HTA and then delete it from its folder location. The system registry is also modified when the script executes a shell registry update using regedit and the REG file written to the local system. The registry modification is this- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run cAg0u = "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\(name).hta" The entry "(name)" is a random 8 character name (e.g. 98278AE0.HTA). The email spreading method is possible by a registry modification which adds a signature to MS Outlook. The signature is set to include the file "C:\WINDOWS\kak.htm" and is set as the default signature such that the worm is spread on all outgoing email if the signature is included. The contents of the HTM file are just a small file which consists of script to run the KAK.HTA file which already exists on the target machine. The code looks specifically for browser versions IE5 or NetScape Navigator higher than v4.0. Finally this worm also has a payload which is date activated. On the 1st of the month, and beginning from 6PM local time, a message is displayed: "Kagou-Anti-Kro$oft says not today!"

To Butcher researchers: I am new to this list and would like to know if anyone has Sarah Harrison Butcher in their data base. Sarah Harrison Butcher was born in VA, 1800-01; and married Joshua Owen (b. NC, 1799 or 1800; d. Hickory Co., MO, after 1860) on or about 1824 in "Calhoun, TN" Prior to 1830 they were already in Gasconade Co., MO where they are shown in the 1830 census. Their children were William H. (b. TN, 1824 or 1825); James B. (b. MO, 1831 or 1832); Andrew J. (b. 1832 or 1833); Manning Burks (b. 1835); Sarah A. (b. 1837 or 1838); Simeon. (b. 1843 or 1844); Salina M. (b. 1843 or 1844); and Nancy R. (b. 1848 or 1849). All except the first child were born in Missouri. Even with every effort, I have been unable to identify Sarah Harrison (Butcher) Owen's siblings and parentage, nor those of Joshua Owen, her husband. Thank you for any lead on Sarah Harrison (Butcher) Owen. Betty Trimble
