The ancestors of all of these families have recently been able to rediscover their roots through Clan societies and other Scottish organizations. Among them: George Candlin, who settled in Maryland in 1679; John Cantelon, who arrived in Canada in 1841; William Cantelon, who settled in Ontario in 1871; Samuel Cantelon, who came to Ontario in 1871.
