Re: James H.Bougher Sr.(b)1805 PA (d)1872 OH
The 1810 census index for Pennsylvania shows a Henry Bougher.You are aware that the Boughners were illerate and names were spelled as they sounded to the immigration officials.In the book "Penn. German Pioneers" by Strassburger & Hinke, Vol 1, A publication of the original lists of arrivals in the port of Philadelphia from 1727 to 1808 by Genealogical Publishing Co. Baltimore printed in 1966, lists a Martin Bugner and his sons John and Henry arriving on the good ship "Two Brothers" on Sept 29 1753.The 1810 census also shows a John Bougher.This may help, your ancester may have been this line.
