Descendants of the Huguenot Simon Boucher of Claverack, New York. (He came to the Dutch Colony in 1658 from France.) The index of the book reads, "Boucher (see Baustscher, Poucher)". Both baptismal and marriage records showing four variants of spelling for Boucher were written by pastors and transcribed by Arthur C. M. Kelly [1970]. I suspect that the pastor or transcriber inadvertently wrote "P" because in my analysis, he also wrote "PLASS" for the original spelling: BLASS which was the surname of Philip Blass (you will see it below).
