Described in Notes and Queries, 3rd Series, Volume 1 page 542 as being the "head of a family, more or less prominent, both in the male and female line".

Immigrated to the US at Philadelphia in 1750 (See page 434, Vol 1, Pennsylvania German Pioneers: A Publication of the Original Lists of Arrivals in the Port of Philadelphia..
According to information provided by Harriet Wallace, Casper Bucher and his brother Conrad came to America from Switzerland. They sailed from Rotterdam on the ship "Royal Union" and landed at Philadelphia, Pa on 15 Aug 1750. This is from Daniel Rupp's "Collection of upwards of thirty thousand names of German, Swiss, Dutch, French and other immigrants in Pennsylvania from 1727." She reports that the executors of his estate were his wife Catharina and son Jacob. John Eisenhower, an ancestor of President Dwight D. Eisenhower was a witness to Casper Bucher's will and were neighbors of the Buchers.
Rupps listing contradicts Strassburger's data, where Caspar and Conrad Buchar are listed as having sworn the Oath of Allegiance at the Court House in Philadelphia on 18 Aug 1750. There is given the ship name "St. Andrew", captained by Robert Brown from Rotterdam and Cowes. This in the book "Pennsylvania German Pioneers" by Strassburger, Vol 1 (1934)
