Research Notes:
1789: moved to Windsor Township, Berks County [Ref: Burkhardt BOUCHER p86]

Descendents of John Peter are found mainly in Windsor Township and Reading. [Ref: Burkhardt BOUCHER p88]

The name of John Peter, or "Old Peter" appears in the Albany Township lists in 1779 and after 1781 is shown in Windsor. In 1789 the names of Tobias Bousher and Peter Boutcher and Henry, William an dJacob also appear. This evinces that they all came from the family seat in Albany, as the names are coincidently missing from the ta records of the latter at the same time. This agrees also with the statement of Mrs. Kunkle in 1898. Also with the tradition that Peter Bowsher, of Ohio, visited an Uncle Peter in Berks County in 1833, at which time he was a visitor at the old homestead and had the honour of naming Henry, a grandson of Phillip. It is said that Philip and John Peter frequently visited each other on those days. Both lived to advanced years. [Ref: Burkhardt BOUCHER p88]
