In documents at Vevay, he is called Buchetee, a school teacher in the early days, but in some of his business transactions in Barren Co., Kentucky, where he had a vineyard, he is Buchetti. But he soon disappears from the records in Indiana and Kentucky. In 1832, he applied for land in Texas, making the following declaration: "13 Dec. 1832. To Empresario Stephen F. Austin & Samuel M. Williams: I am of European birth, married to a Mexican woman in the city of Bejar. I want to be admitted with the Colonists... My name is Juan Francisco Buchetti native of the Canton of Falais in Switzerland, 48 years old. My wife, Doña Gertrudis de LaBaume y Buchetti, native of Nacogdoches, 18 years old. [signed] Juan Francisco Buchetti, G. de la Baume Buchetti." (Character Certificates in the General Land Office of Texas, ed. Gifford White, 1985.)
As early as 1826, he was in the "State of Leon", parish of Lampazzos, offering his services to Austin as an educator, and he had already been in contact with Austin earlier from Laredo.
