Since posting my first message about James, I have found the following information: The
father of James Alexander Goucher is John Goucher born about 1832 in Indiana. I believe
that he was married to Lydia ? and later to Rebecca Ella?(this is from census records) I
think, Lydia was the mother of James, she is buried in Whitley County, Indiana. John
Goucher was in the Civil War, he was living in Whitley County, Indiana, when he enlisted,
(I have his Pension Application Packet), he died in the National Soldier's Home in
Dayton, Ohio. He is buried in the Dayton National Cemetery, Dayton,Ohio. I also found the
Obit for James, he died April 7, 1942 in Mishawaka, St. Joseph County, Indiana and he is
buried in Whitley County, Indiana. According to census info, John had several other
children, Mary E., Sarah J., Benjamin Goucher, their is a daughter, Catharine (married to
a Prichard) listed in the Civil War Records. In the obit for James it list a sister Sarah
J. Prichard.
If anyone has any information on the families of James or John Goucher, I would love to
hear from you.
Thanks,
Donna
