I have it here on my desk under everything. We have all heard a tale about a Squaw man but it was the French and Indian Wars when this took place. The Boucher was Amable, he had been working for the widow Mallett, and he was captured by Indians and taken to the British. Held captive, and then sentenced to death, he was feed by a Squaw. He persuaded her to let him go, she did and helped him get away. But to his misfortunte he ran in to more British, and was held prision for the duration of the war. His life had been spared by the Squaw tribe unknown, never heard of again 5 generations later his grt grandson Felix told the story to the Vincennes Press. Hope it helps. I heard about squaw man growing up it was like a bedtime tale, then I researched it to find it true. Have fun the French are an interesting line not dull like my English ancestors.
