| Notes |
- 13 Mar 2001 - Reference pages 21 & 151 in the Medlam PDF Files. The following was extracted from an article in the Antigonish Casket dated Sept. 9th, 1998. Duncan was born somewhere in Eastern Antigonish County and came to the Town of Antigonish where he learned business fundamentals, probably from his brother in law, the very successful Duncan Grant(?). In 1852 he built a Store. When the Chisholm Chief died in the 1850's Duncan was considered to be in line to inherit the substantial Chisholm estates in Strathglass. His chances looked pretty good so he booked passage in 1858 for Scotland in order to claim the estate. He came to Edinburgh, to the Court of Lord Lyon, which had jurisdiction over such matters as titles to estate. He also listened to testimony of other witnesses and came to believe that there might be another Chisholm who might have a better claim. He then took steps to assist Lord Lyon's Court in locating his cousin, James Sutherland Chisholm. He was located in Vienna, Upper Canada(Ontario) and after being notified made his way to Scotland and assumed control over the Chisholm estates.
10 May 2001 - Exact date of death came from Donald "Og" Chisholm's Notes.
03 Jun 2001 - A Web Page operated by the Antigonish Highland Society stated that the Society was started in Duncan Chisholm's Store in Antigonish on August 22, 1861. Duncan also served as President at one time.
25 Jan 2004 - An Obituary from Marleen Hubley via Allan Gillis stated that he was the first cousin to James Sutherland Chisholm, the landlord of Strathglass, Inverness-Shire.
17 Mar 2004 - An Article in the October 6, 1892 Casket by the Rev. A. McLean Sinclair on the Strathglass Chisholms stated that Duncan Ban was a very amiable man and like his uncle "Maighstir Caillin" a thorough gentleman.
