Shannon,
Thank you for replying to my query. This is what I have on John at the moment:

Captain John Chisholm (1784-1861)
John was the son of Capt. George Chisholm Sr. and Barbara McKenzie (Chi)(L)(W4A). His brothers George and William served as ensigns. John had a tavern and store at the Old Outlet (HB). In 1803 he married Sarah Davis (BU)(Chi). In 1804, he held the rank of captain (W4A). On May 10, 1811he enlisted in the 2nd York (D5, D7)(O). He took an oath Apr. 4, 1812 (O). On June 4, 1812, selected as captain of the first flank company (D95)(D113). On July 3, 1812, John commanded a flank company that was ordered to Queenston (RN pg. 32-33). He served Sept. 25 to Oct. 24, 1812 (D226). On Oct. 13, 1812 as the Americans began crossing the Niagara River, his company was stationed on the brow of the Heights (OBF pg. 67). John and his brothers fought at the Battle of Queenston Heights on Oct. 13, 1812 (BU). He served Oct. 25 to Nov. 24, 1812 (D81, D249). He served Nov. 25 to Dec. 19, 1812 (D83, D233). About mid December, Lt. Col. Clark of the 2nd Lincoln reported that Capt. Chisholm’s flank company was to serve to Jan. 4, 1813 (RN pg. 73). He served Feb. 17 to Mar. 24, 1813 (D237). On Mar. 4, 1813, reported living in Flamborough (D5). He served July 30 to 31, 1813 (D319). Working on Dun... St. Oct. 24 to Nov. 10, 1813 (D260). He served Feb. 10 to 18, 1814 (D88). He was on duty at Burlington Heights July 4 to Aug. 10, 1814 (D253). He served Oct. 24 to Nov. 10, 1814 (D258). He served Nov. 5 to 12, 1814 (D192, D193). John made a land claim after the war (ILC).

You can look at my 2nd York document transcripts at http://www.ogs.on.ca/services/1812-militia.php where you will also find my email address. Search for the name Chisholm. Please email me directly if you would like to know more about the Chisholm family and their service in the War of 1812. I still have a few questions that I am looking for answers to.
