| Notes for Stephen BUTCHER | ||||||||
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Stephen Boucher, or Butcher as it is often spelled, was a barber in Charlestown. With the other heirs of Joseph Dowse, Stephen and his wife Mary divide up the father's estate. After the baptism of their daughter, Mary, they vanish from Charlestown, and apparently did not go to Boston. The marriage of a Stephen Butcher (int. Bucher) of Boston and Sarah Cox of Lynn is found on the Lynn records, as occurring, 26 Feb. 1740-1, while the intention of this couple given in Boston, 11 Feb. 1740 spells his name "Boucher" [ref 79:137] and hers "Cock." Possibly this was a second marriage of Stephen. A Stephen Butcher, Sadler, of the Barbadoes who died in Boston, had John Ruggles, Mariner, and John Briggs, Merchant, of Boston appointed his executors, and they gave bonds in Court, with Thomas Phillips, Innholder, and Richard Hall, Perukemaker, 18 Oct. 1715. In the account is mentioned "Carrying your negroes on Shoar." An Inventory filed, 8 Oct. 1715, mentions slaves, gold ring, silver buckles, watch, etc., and this personal property was sent on the sloop "Flying Horse," to the Barbados for Mrs. Ann Butcher on 8 Aug. 1718 (Suffolk Co., Probate, 7:407, 21:76,82). It is possible that Stephen Butcher who married Mary Dowse may have been a son of this Stephen Butcher or some connection of his. They may have gone to the Barbados. They must have gone out of Middlesex and Suffolk counties for there not only is no mention of them but none of their children appear to have become householders in those counties later.
