William Chisholm/John Buckland       1861-
William Chisholm was born on 16 January 1861, the son of Alexander Chisholm and Ann McDonald, in Urquhart, Inverness, Scotland.
When he came to the United States, he assumed the new name of John Buckland, and a younger age (b: Jan 1864, in 1900 census). With a little luck, maybe we can solve the mystery regarding the name change, soon.
