I checked the 1850 and 1860 Census Indexes for these two names. No Boucher is listed in Oneida Co. in either year. No MacRae is listed in Oneida Co. in either year. (these indexes are not perfect, remember!) I tried some variations on MacRae and had two hits with McRay. Elizebeth McRay in Annsville, Oneida Co., NY page 363 John McRay in Rome Twp., Oneida Co., NY page 046 If you can think of variations of Boucher you would like me to check for, let me know. I can check the 1850 census for you if you think either of these people may be who you are looking for.
