Research Notes

Re: John Adam Bouck , New York to Utah I have two separate families where the husband is Adam Bouck and the wife is Elizabeth Frimeyer.

(1) Adam Bouck, son of Johan Christian Bouck and Christina Elizabeth Rickert, and Elizabeth Frimeyer, daughter of Conrad Frimeyer and Anna Maria Berg. This was the Adam who was a Loyalist, and who made a claim for the loss of his 240 acres. I have children Christian (19 Jan 1772), Maria (27 Aug 1773), and Elisabeth (14 Apr 1776). Do you have a fourth?.

(2) Adam Bouck, son of Johanis Bouck and Maria Crysler, and Elizabeth Frimeyer, daughter of Johanis Frimeyer and Dorothea Bouck. I have eleven children, third of which is John Adam Bouck (05 Jan 1797), who is the pioneer of the 1847 company to Utah.

These families, and many related ones, are documented by William V. H. Barker, ^[16] The two Adam Boucks mentioned, and Dorothea Bouck who married Johanis Frimeyer, are all indeed related.

I doubt either of the Loyalist families mentioned returned to Schoharie. Adam Bouck, in his claim, said he had returned only to find "another man in possession" of his farm.

Regarding John Adam Bouck , New York to Utah Johannes (John) Adam Bouck (Bauch) was born Jan. 5, 1797, Schoharie County, New York, the son of ADAM Bouck (Bauch) born 1772 Schorarie.

Bouck married Sept 14, 1790 Elizabeth Freymauer (Fremeyer). She was born June 19, 1773 in Schoharie, N.Y. and died Feb. 8, 1862 in Washtenaw Co., Michigan (both buried in Pray Cemetery, Superior Twp., Washtenaw Co., Michigan). ADAM Bouck (Bauch) served in the War of 1812 [Company 11 Regiment (Rich's New York Militia) Roll Box 21, Roll Exct. 602]. ADAM Bouck (Bauch)'s father, Johannes Wilhelm Bouck (Bauch) born June 3, 1747 in Schoharie, N.Y., died Dec. 31, 1830 (buried in Schoharie Cemetery) married Margarett Maria KrauslerKreusler July 15, 1772. All five of Johannes Wilhelm Bouck (Bauch)'s children were born in Schoharie between 1772 and 1782. Johannes Wilhelm Bouck (Bauch) was made 2nd Lieutenant Oct. 20, 1775 of Capt. Jacob Hager's Company of the United Districts of Schoharie and Duanesburgh Regiment of Albany County Militia, served in the Revolutionary War and was was served along with John L. Lawyer (who was in the same regiment and later listed in the 1790 Schoharie census next to Johannis BauchBouck). John L. Lawyer stated that when the "Older" Johannes Bouck moved to Canada, Johannes W. Bouck quit using the middle initial "W" since he was then the only Johannes Bouck in the area. Lawyer also stated that he and Bouck were present at the capture of Henry Hare. This Johannes Wilhelm Bouck (1747-1830) was the son of Johannes Wilhelm Bauch and Anna Elisabet Kreausler and is listed in the Baptism Records of St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Schoharie, N.Y. [note: in the same record is listed Adam Bauch born March 25, 1747, son of Christian Bauch and Christina Lise, he is the Adam Bauch who moved to Canada with the Loyalists.]

After checking the baptism records it is clear that the Adam Bouck , son of Christian Bauch & Christina Lise, born 1747 who married Sept. 14, 1770 Elizabetha Freymeyer and went to Canada is NOT the same man as Adam Bouck, son of Johannes Wilhelm Bouck & Maria Kreausler who married 1790 Elisabeth Freymauer whose son John Adam Bouck went to Utah. During the Revolutionary War, families in Schoharie were sometimes divided between those who supported the Revolution and those who were loyal to England.

The surnames Bauch Bouck and the many spelling variations of Freymeyer in Schoharie, New York records is confusing until the actual church baptism records are checked with the various lines of descent from Christian Bauch. John Adam Bouck of Utah was the son of Adam Bouck who served in the War of 1812 and grandson of Johannes Wilhelm Bouck who served in Capt. Jacob Hager's Co. in the Revolutionary War. John Adam Bouck's sister Catherine Bouck married James Herron, a descendant noted that she was "a descendant of one of the early Revolutionary Patriots, the grandson of one whom was among the first to blaze a trail down the Mohawk Valley and settle along the Schoharie River, Pioneer of New York Valley". Catherine (Bouck) Herron, the sister of John Adam Bouck and the mother of Orlando Fisher Herron, died of cholera in the fall of 1847. She had moved from Washtenau Co. Michigan to Hancock Co., Illinois in the spring of 1841, then to Nauvoo in 1846, then to Iowa. Her youngest child, Daniel Herron born August 1846 Carthage, Illinois, died along with her and her husband in 1847 in Lee Co. Iowa. Her son Orlando Fisher Herron came to Utah with the Lewis Robinson family. His uncle, John Adam Bouck, his first wife Euphemia (Dibble) Bouck and their daughter Eliza Abigail (Bouck) Gibbs and her husband, Gideon H. C. Gibbs, arrived in the Salt Lake valley Sept. 26, 1847 with the John Taylor Company. John Adam Bouck, the grandson of Revolutionary War Patriot Johannes Wilhelm BauchBouck, died Dec. 10, 1882, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Bouck, Adam; Frederick of Williamsburg; Frederick of Matilda; Frederick of Cornwall, all with lists of their children. Buck, George of Kingston; George Jr of Kingston; George of Elizabethtown; Philip of Niagara; all with lists of their children.^[17]

Upper Canada Land Petitions will prove that all these men are Loyalists.
