The Virginia Candlers, ©1994 by Darlene Kay Thomas

Ms. Thomas quotes from Allen D. Candler on Irish background, but then she proceeds to the Lynchburg descendants of John Candler, Sr. (c1730-1802) and wife Elizabeth Gibson (c1730-before 1801). She valiantly tries to discover the parentage of all the Johns, James, Williams, and Daniels of the 1800's.

Also heavy on the old legend, this article confuses Daniel (c1700-1765) with Daniel (c1753-1810 his grandson), and Daniel (1788-1860 his great-great-grandson). It supposes (incorrectly) that the original Daniel lived on Candlers mountain.
