An American Family History

Ann Walton Boutcher was born about 1733 in the Manor of Moreland Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. It is now Upper Moreland Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Caleb Walton. 

She married Samuel Boutcher on April 29, 1758 at Christ Church, Philadelphia. The Reverend, Mr. Sturgeon performed the ceremony.

The following article seems to confuse several Samuel Bouchers.

Samuel Boucher [Butcher] was the son of George Dietrich Bucher,who, in 1778, lived in New Hanover township, Philadelphia County. That year, Samuel Boucher, assistant weighmaster, lived in Moreland Manor, Philadelphia County.

They were descendants of John Boutcher, who died in Moreland township, in 1707, leaving two sons, John and Samuel, and several daughters, one of whom, Sarah, married Henry, son of Francis Daniel Pastorius, in 1720. Samuel Boucher, of the Northern Liberties, took the oath of allegiance to the State on July 5, 1777; was a member of Captain Faries' Troop of Horse that year; is recorded as being with the Troop at Newtown in October, 1781; and continued with that body until 1782 at least. In the records of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania, on October 4, 1781, there is an "order in favor of Mr. Samuel Boutcher for 64 pounds 10 shillings, State money emitted by. Act of Assembly of the 7th of April, 1781, amount of his account for the hire of waggons called into service from the County of Philadelphia in August, 1780, agreeably to requisitions of Congress." In 1788, John and Samuel Boutcher [brothers], offered for sale their "plantation in Moorland, chiefly in Philadelphia County, 100 acres or upwards." On May 28, 1788, Samuel Butcher married Mary Highbee. He died on May 5, 1797, letters of administration being granted to Jesse Butcher.
