William C. Bouck (January 7, 1786 - April 19, 1859) was governor of the U.S. state of New York from 1843 to 1844. Bouck was born and later died in Schoharie County, New York. He also served in county offices (including Sheriff) and the state assembly and senate. At the end of his career he was assistant treasurer of New York City, before retiring to his farm. [1] Today, Bouck's portrait hangs behind the judge's chair in the Schoharie County courthouse. Bouck lived at Bouck's Island, near Fultonham, New York.

Bouck became governor in 1843 and served for one term. Bouck is the only governor of New York to have come from Schoharie County.

Bouck is also remembered for being the second Democrat to serve as Governor of New York.

William married Catherine Lawyer who gave birth to eight children: James Madison; Joseph William, born on Oct. 27, 1809; Christian, born on May 14, 1818; Gabriel, born on December 16, 1828 in Fultonham, Schoharie County, New York; Charles, born on Sept. 9, 1829; Catherine, born on July 11, 1820, married Erskine Danforth; Caroline, married Dr. Volney Danforth; and Anna, born on Dec. 29, 1814, married Lyman Sanford.

Their son, Gabriel Bouck moved to Oshkosh, WI and in 1848 he was admitted to the bar there eventually serving as Attorney General of Wisconsin from 1858-1860. Gabriel was also elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1860 and 1874, serving the last year as speaker.
