My gggGrandFather was Rev. William McCandlish, b. 1810 in sct. He was a presbyterisan Minister, Graduated frm Jefferson College, Washington Co. PA in 1834, Graduated frm Western Theological Seminary, in Pittsburg, Pa in 1837, was Licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Carlisle, meeting in the Church of the Big Spring, in Newville, Cumberland Co. PA Sept. 1837. His father is believed to be Alexander & or William McCandlish, his mother was Jane McClelland, He had 4 siblings, Jane, John, Margaret & Mary, These are the only ones I know of there could have been more, also I believe these siblings were older & had a different mother. Rev. William McCandlish married a H. Marie Howells, b. 1817 Frm England. Their 1st child was William N. b. 1840 they had 5 others. Williams Parents & other family members I beleve were living in & around Newville, Cumberland Co. PA. His 1st church was in Wooster, Wayne, Co. OH 1837 to 1849, His 2nd Church was in Lewistown, Fulton Co.
