The birth order above is as presented by Ferree in "The McCandless & Related Families"1830-1830[4]. This arrangement is currently uncorroborated by census data. Assigned birth dates are calculated from the 1830 & 1840 census and so are based on birth order. These may be corroborated later by finding the child in census of 1850 or later.
