Biography

Jones proposes as the wife of Anthony Poucher [Anton Bautzer] Catharina daughter of Johann Valentin Kuhn and Anna Catharina Wies and sister of Anna Catharina without further details (p. 495f).

Catharina Kuhn (a.k.a. Coen) was a daughter of Palatine immigrant settlers in New York's Hudson Valley. She was married to Anton Bautzer (a.k.a. Anthony Poucher). The Koon-Coons Genealogy identified her as Anna Catharina, the daughter of Valentin Kuhn and Anna Catharina Wies who was born on 1 January 1716 and baptized in the Lutheran Church of West Camp, New York.^[1] However, in Palatine Families of New York, Henry Jones identified that Anna Catharina as the wife of Ephraim Wheeler.^[2] In Settlers of the Beekman Patent, Frank Doherty accepts the interpretation by Jones.^[3] The Koon-Coons Genealogy identified the Anna Catharina Kuhn who married of Ephraim Wheeler as a daughter of Valentin Kuhn's brother Conrad Kuhn and his wife Margaret Koning.^[4] If Valentin Kuhn's daughter married Ephraim Wheeler, Anton Bautzer's wife may have been a daughter of Conrad Kuhn.
