Source notes

Joseph A. Ferree, Jr.'s book, The McCandless and Related Families, implies that the father of the three immigrant (~1819) brothers, (Robert, James and George C. McCandless)did not himself leave Ireland. The three brothers settled along Swamp Run among earlier McCandless immigrants in Butler County, PA. The above references concern the three brothers rather than the father.
