Boucher, Jonathan |
0.03 sec. |
Boucher, Jonathan(born March 12, 1738, Cumberland, Eng.—died April 27, 1804, Epsom, Surrey) English-American clergyman. He went to Virginia in 1759 as a private tutor. As rector of Annapolis, Md., he tutored George Washington's stepson and became a family friend. His royalist views cost him his position and he was forced to return to England in 1775. In his retirement he wrote A View of the Causes and Consequences of the American Revolution (1779); his glossary of “archaic and provincial words” was later used for Noah Webster's dictionary.
