General Notes: Husband - William Boughner, Esq.

---

He learned the carpenter's trade, following that vocation until he moved to Venango County, PA, in 1834, to find a home and independence. The family located in Canal Township, on a farm belonging to John Coxson, which he leased for the next three years, then purchasing the land, a tract of seventy-five acres which he began improving at once. He was an industrious farmer, getting most of his land under cultivation, and found his mechanical experience very useful in the erection and repair of buildings, etc., keeping the property in good shape. He also had a grocery and office, having served twenty-five years as justice of the peace, to which position he was first elected in 1845. He was a Democrat and very active in the affairs of the party in his township, and when the Know-Nothing party came into power there temporarily he was thrown out of office for three years, at the end of that time being reelected, and serving until he resigned in 1873. Mr. Boughner was a member of the Sugar Creek Memorial Presbyterian Church, and when the old Sugar Creek congregation removed to Cooperstown he visited Presbytery and secured the old church at the Sugar Creek site, helping to organize a new congregation. As before, he was one of its leading supporters, one of the first elders, and foremost in all the work of the church. [CAB, 687]
