Where did the Scottish Candlin family come from? When did the Candlin family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Candlin family history?

 More

Medieval Scottish names are rife with spelling variations. This is due to the fact that scribes in that era spelled according to the sound of words, rather than any set of rules. Candlin has been spelled Candlin, Kandelan, Cantelon, Cantelin, Candelane, Candelayn, Candlen, Candlan, Candelan and many more.

First found in Cumberland, where they held a family seat from ancient times.

Some of these families fought to defend their newfound freedom in the American War of Independence. Others went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. The ancestors of all of these families have recently been able to rediscover their roots through Clan societies and other Scottish organizations. Among them:
