BOUCHER DE NIVERVILLE, JEAN-BAPTISTE, officier dans les troupes de la Marine, seigneur, né à Boucherville (Québec) le 6 décembre 1673, fils de Pierre Boucher* et de Jeanne Crevier, décédé à Boucherville en 1748.
Jean-Baptiste Boucher de Niverville fut initié très jeune à la carrière militaire. Il fit d’abord partie de la milice puis il s’engagea dans les troupes de la Marine. Nommé enseigne vers 1695, il participa, semble-t-il, au cours des années 1690 et 1696, aux expéditions de Frontenac [Buade*] contre les Anglais et les Iroquois. Dans une lettre adressée au ministre de la Marine, Pontchartrain, le 12 novembre 1707, le gouverneur Vaudreuil [Rigaud*] et l’intendant Jacques Raudot* annonçaient au ministre qu’ils lui envoyaient « un plein sac d’échantillons de minéraux trouvés au lac Champlain par les sieurs de Niverville, Graveline et Destailly, ainsy qu’une carte du lac Champlain ». Nous ignorons toutefois les circonstances dans lesquelles fut effectuée cette expédition que
