Hi Leonard, I look fwd to receiving the information.
A few notes:
If you look in the Beaufort Area, you will find an old Pelot Cemetery, very close to the land where John Chisholm settled .
This will be in the area from the River, south of the Interstate. John was commisioner of a Road here, which went from the ferry crossing down towards Switzerland. There is also a old document from Elizabeth Pelot or family "floating around", might even have a copy somewhere in my computer.
With John of Knoxville, he has all the attributes of a backwoodsman, a frontiersman. If he told the truth about coming through New York, it could have been when he was a small child. Also seems to be plenty of info floating around about the children of John D, and I dont believe I have heard the possibility of an Elizabeth.
If you think that John the Loyalist went to Jamaica, then surely he took his daughter with him, and somehow this daughter would have to find her way back to the mainland, and find a Mr Pelot to marry. You will find Pelot's at that time in South Carolina.
Re the two in Eastern Tenesee, these seem to be the easiest to disentangle.. John of Knoxville, of the Blount conspiracy, and the other being John Chisum from the large family in Amelia Co VA(not the Jacobite family who are associated with Hanover Co VA)

Thank you for your response. My earlier post stated Winyah Parish, Georgetown. In 1753 this parish extended north to the North Carolina border and west to Cherokee country. So John, son of John, could have been born far from Georgetown. The parish, county and districts evolved significantly during colonial times. My mistake.
Checking this out I reviewed all my old Google book search notes and Googled a few more. I am sending you via email these with sources. Realize, these are not English Lit term paper quality notes! I included nothing for Adam the Jacobite, or Anne Bulloch nephews and only some relevant John "D" items
I can make cases, albeit some weak, for six John Chisholms of that time. They are John of Virginia, East of Wateree John, John of Beaufort, Loyalist John, possibly, John, nephew of Anne Bulloch, and John "D". My interest is identifying Elizabeth Chisholm Pelot's father. Then, "Was she related to John "D" Chisholm of Blount conspiracy notoriety. I won't go into all the detail of how the Johns morph.
I believe that Elizabeth's father was John the former British soldier who baptized a son John in 1753. There are references to him living in Winyah parish, Camden district St Marks Parish, and Camden east of Wateree; settling near Nelson's ferry on the Santee which is now under Lake Marion. He was a loyalist, fled to Georgia and volunteered as a British Army scout at Savannah. He evacuated Charleston with the army in the fall of 1782. He went to the Bahamas then Jamiaca. He had a daughter, Elizabeth.
Concerning John "D", in his statement concerning the Blount affair he declared.. "I arrived in New York when the British were in control of it.." Nothing about his place of birth, where he came from or his business in New York. I have only found record of speculation of others about these points. He wrote ".having a father residing in Charleston, I went to him in the year 1777." Was his father named John? Only Chisholms I have found record of in Charleston are of the Alexander families with no John.
My "John D's" stated travels strongly suggest loyalist interests. He went to New York when it was under British control. He visited his loyalist father in Charleston close to the time of the failed British attempt to take it. He followed a path that many Tories took to escape Patriot sympathies and find sanctuary. He went through Georgia and into Florida while there was turmoil, fighting and anarchy. He went to the loyalist hotbed, St Augustine .
Elizabeth Chisholm Pelot was living in Beaufort area of South Carolina, near Savannah at this time. Later, 1795, John "D" was probably in Amelia Island Florida where Elizabeth and James Pelot had moved.
My information shows that two John Chisholms were in the eastern area of Tennessee about 1778. John "D" and John from Virginia. He served with his brother Elijah, at the battle of Kings mountain with the "over the mountain men". He may be connected to Adam the Jacobite.
Perhaps it is time to start a new thread. Thanks for sharing your information.
Leonard
