Well that's interesting!
It is uncertain if the man named Kirchhoffer who ran federally in Durham East in 1872 is in fact John Nesbitt Kirchhoffer. However, he did reside in Ontario at the time, and the winner of that 1872 election was the Liberal candidate while J.N. Kirchhoffer later served in the Senate as a Conservative after a stint as a Manitoba Conservative MLA.
