__________________________
Estate Records
- In Washington County on May 2, 1783, it was “Ordered that James Campbell and his wife give Counter security for the Administration of the Estate of Joseph Butcher Deceased and that they be summoned to appear here at the next court.” ( Summers, Annals of Southwest Virginia, 1152.) This Joseph Boucher could have been an even older family member. He could also be the Joseph who traveled with Joshua Boucher prior to that time. Since James and his wife were administering the estate of Joseph, it is likely that he was her father. The prevalence of Campbell men in these records is an indication they were related to the Boucher family. Thomas Campbell, in particular, had lands adjoining the Bouchers. Since the relationships are unknown, it is impossible to determine this deceased Joseph’s relationship to the Joseph Boucher Sr. who was listed on the tax records with Katherine in 1782.
