Josephte Kanhopitsa: As a young girl, Josephte bore a daughter, also Josephte, to John Clarke of the Astor venture,According to the son of the latter. Although Josephte went by the name of her step-father, Boucher,She was really Clarke, said George Heron, her son. After Clarke deserted the young Josephte Kanhopitsa, she took up with Jean Baptiste Boucher,(Joseph) the
"honest man" who was much older than she. After his death in 1824, she married Joachim Hubert at St. Paul. Since there is some confusion in the scattered records of the various sets of Josephte Kanhopitsa's Children, they are here listed to the best of my research. Josephte,
whose father was John Clarke, but who went by the name of her step-father, Boucher; Jean Baptiste (1819) and Isabelle (1821), children of the "Old Jean Boucher"; (Joseph) By Groslouis: Lizette (1826), Andre (1828) And by Joachim Hubert: Joseph I (1831),

his grandson George Heron, he worked for Pacific Fur Company. He
left the country after Josephte Kanhopitsa borne him a daughter,
Josephte. Records from the book of Spokane Indian Tribe, indicated

Company.
Joachim Hubert (1788-1873)
This is the "Zuwasha Ubair" that Meek entered on the tax rolls of 1844; the name probably sounded like that to a non-French Meek. Hubert was employed by the Hudson's Bay Company at Fort Colville during the 1830's, three children being baptized there when the priests went through on their way to the Willamette Valley in 1838.A few years earlier Hubert had married, fur trade fashion, Josephte Chaudiere. She had borne a daughter, also Josephte or Josette, to John Clarke, an iracible Chief Factor who cast her off;
she bore Jean Baptiste and Isabelle to "old Jean Boucher, an honest
man".
To Hubert she bore seven more children between 1828 and 1844,
two of them named Joesph--a common in case the elder had died.Hubert spent forty years in all at Fort Colville before retiring to the Prairie at last.

RECORDS: Jean Baptiste Boucher (1759-1824)
The name Boucher (Bouche`)is so interwoven in the fur trade annals that it is difficult at this late date to trace relationships with much certainty.
Two main lines.
Which may or may not have been fraternal, developed in the Vancouver
and French Prairie records. These are Jean Baptiste, born in 1759 and
died 1824; "an honest man", and Jean Baptiste, "called Wacan, who
would seem also to have been born during the latter part of the
1700's.
Jean Baptiste Boucher was past fifty years of age when he came
to Fort George as interpreter for the North West Fur Company. He took
Josephte Kanhopitsa (desChaudiere) for his wife after her abandonment
by John Clarke. Josephte's daughter Josephte, who married John McKay,
went by the name of her step-father, Boucher.Jean Baptiste Boucher died in 1824 while on an expedition to the Snake River country. "This morning, after an illness of 20 days, during which we carried him on a stretcher, died Jean Baptiste Boucher, an honest man".
His window Josephte married Joachim Hubert.
Children: Josephte Kanhopitsa and Jean Baptiste Boucher
Jean Baptiste Boucher (1819
Isabelle Boucher (1821-1860)Isabelle Boucher born 1821, was the daughter of Jean Baptiste Boucher and Josephte Kanhopitsa.
She married Joesph Barnabe on November 12, 1839, and became the mother of numerous children.
Her later life was spent near Spokane, Washington.
