He was my great grandfather from Mineral County WV. His daughter Katherine was my grandmother. I would like to hear from you if you care. I was 10th generation born in Fairfax County VA. I have a lot of family history to share. I guess we are 3rd or 4th cousins.

Hello i am also a McCandlish and i live in Scotland, I am looking for information on the family's origin i have been told my family origin ed from Ireland though i think not i am only 12 but i could do with a bit of information :)

Bible Pages/copies

fairfaxman — 2012-10-12 02:01:51Z

Hi,
I am looking for the family record pages that were removed from an old (1700's?) German Bible many years ago. I saw the Bible in 1971 when it was in the possession of Robert J. McCandlish Jr. (b. 1909) of Fairfax County, Va. The pages were missing then.
The Bible enties would be for the name Swink (maybe Schwenk). Other possible names would be Kline, Landstreet, Lindsay, McCandlish, and Shreve.

Another item is a painting titled "The Huguenot Bride" depicting a father entering through a door to stop the wedding of his daughter. This painting is purported to be by William D. Washington.

Any help locating these items will be greatly appreciated.

Go to the Miami County index: http://www.pcdl.lib.oh.us/miami/searchw.cfm
Type in: wiltheiss
You will get 21 hits. These may be her parents, brothers, uncles and etc.
Recheck if William's last name was REALLY McCandlish!
In any case you have a 50/50 chance they came from either FRANKLIN or CUMBERLAND county Pennsylvania.
IF he did, get back with me, I have over SIXTY years research in these, and ONLY these, counties.

timmason21 — 2010-09-30 15:48:53Z

Hi – I am wondering if you are the same person who also posted a quantity of family portraits/photos on Picasaweb entitled ‘McCandlish-Strand Ancestors’.

My reason for asking is that I have an identical copy of the portrait on that site of William Dabney (my copy adds underneath ‘1772-1858’) who was my 5-greats grandfather. I am descended from William & his wife Hannah’s son Charles Henry Dabney of New York, via his (and his wife Ellen Maria Jones) daughter Emily M Dabney. I wonder whether you have any more information or good quality copies that you might be able to send me of other (presumably) mutual ancestors?

Please forgive me emailing you out of the blue – it gave me quite a surprise to see the same picture on the internet so I thought I had to follow this up!!

With best wishes

Re: Henry or Annie McCandlish

ShirleyArthurs — 2010-09-05 02:07:53Z

Hi..researching the McCandlish family but the henry and Annie I know of were probably named after the ones you were searching for
The Henry McCandlish I know was my grandfather who was from Ballymoney Ireland and immigrated to Canada in 1913 and with him his wife Maggie and their children Annie, Joseph and Harry. Upon arrival in Canada the last name was changed to McCandless.
If you can provide anything from previous generations i would love to have this information. My grandmother was Margaret Jane Graham daughter of John & Sarah Graham.
Any info you can provide would be appreciated

The ancestor I am interested in is Jane Forbes nee Smith. (approx 1813 – 28/12/1888) I would love to learn more details about this Smith family, particularly their social standing.

Any further details will be much appreciated

I am a direct descendant of William McCandlish who was a younger brother of Dr James McCandlish. Both were born at Perclewan Mill, Dalrymple , Ayr. James was a classmete of Robert Burns and they were great friends. RB wrote his first poem "Handsome Nell" at the mill based on Nell Fitzpatrick the daughter of the Miller. Subsequently, James married Jean Smith who was the witty one of the six characters in the poem "Mauchline Belles"

You can find much info on the McCandlish or Candlish families (the MC was dropped about this time)by looking for them in the One World Tree via Ancestry.com. Alternatively look at www.robertburns.org/encyclopedia/SmithJean1768-1854.805.shmt....

James married Elizabeth Graham in 1798 at Palnackie, Buittle, Sct.

Re: McCandlish Scotland to Lytham Lancashire

Bit of misleading information in the first message.
James' wife was actually a widow named Margaret Parkinson who married John Harley prior to marriage to James at Lytham, Lanc in 1830.

The sons born in Scotland have their mother listed as Margaret Farqhuarson and Margaret Parkison.

Seeking My Birth Mother

sorellamichele — 2001-10-14 03:15:23Z

I was born on August 30, 1966 at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Shortly after my birth, I was taken in the arms of our parish priest and given to Vincent and Vera Fisher to raise as their own. There was never a legal adoption until I was 19 years old and in need of a passport. When we went to court, my mother produced the hospital bracelet I was given as a newborn as evidence of my identity. It read "baby girl McCandlish", born at 5:55 AM on August 30, 1966. Since there was no adoption agency involved in my case, I am on my own in trying to find the person who gave me life. My parents are both deceased, Vincent in 1994 and Vera in 2000. I promised that I would never try to find my birth parents as long as they were living, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about and pray for the family that I know is "out there" somewhere. I am a very happy Roman Catholic nun living in Philadelphia, Pa. I love my life and just want my birth parents to know that they did the right thing when I was born. There are no accidents in God's providence - I'm proof positive of that! I would really love to hear from anyone who might know something about my family.

Fran,
Yes, I am a direct descendant of THE Robert McCandlish, who had son Thomas McCandlish, son Robert John McCandlish, there is where we part ancestry. Upton Beale McCandlish had a son Robert John McCandlish, who had another Robert John McCandlish, who had son Charles Sheild McCandlish, who fathered myself, the fifth Robert in my line and fourth Robert John in my line. We have a ton of information on and pictures of (and pictures of gravemarkers of) the many descendents of Robert, but unfortunately can go no further than you can as to Robert's predecessors in Wigton. My grandfather had a geneological researcher search for that information but he came up emptyhanded. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you. Unfortunately I am away from home in college and therefore dont have access to the records all of the time.

I am not related, but came across your post while searching for a possible Ledgerwood connection (another of your posts).
In case you have not found it, the following McCandlish family members are buried in the #9 Cemetery in the Town of Seneca, Ontario County, NY:
Alexander born in Galloway, Scotland 1761 d. 25 Mar 1824
Grace, his wife, born in Galloway, Scotland 1775 d. 17 Feb 1866
Peter 9 Nov 1804 - 3 Feb 1834, Soldier of Indian War 1828
Sarah N. 20 Oct 1816 - 10 Aug 1820

There are also members of the McCandlish family buried in the Little Church Cemetery, also in the Town of Seneca. The information can be found online at the Ontario County, NY GenWeb site.

Regarding your Ledgerwood post: I found Thomas, Margaret, and Mary Ann Ledgerwood in the 1875 Yates County Census in the Town of Benton household #1/248. Benton borders Seneca to the south.

I would be very interested in any information you have on the McCandlish family, especially what you've found out about the first McCandlish in Virginia.

I've found tiny bits about a Robert McCandlish - just that he sailed from Wigtownshire in 1760 and was a tutor. He married and produced 4 sons & 3 daughters. Do you know more than that?

Thanks for your help.

I have found the link & the Palnackie McCandlish family (James McCandlish & Elizabeth Graham)are the parents of James Candlish who married Margaret Parkinson (widow of John Harley) in Lytham, Lancashire 1830.
Their sons, James & William were born in Palnackie, under the mother's name Parkison & Farqhuarson.

Now looking for the link to Ayrshire!!!!
