Alexander McCandless1

d. July 1780
Family
ChartsAncestry of David Kipp Melat
     Alexander McCandless married Elizabeth Ross, daughter of Hugh Ross and Elizabeth (?).2 He died in July 1780 in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Alexander was killed along with neighbor Robert Shearer in an attack by an Indian raiding party while harvesting wheat in their fields two miles from Beelor's Fort.3
     Alexander McCandless was known as Alexander McCandless Sr.
     According to Dennis Ardinger, Alexander McCandless Sr. and Elizabeth Ross were born near Glasgow, Scotland. Based on family lore, which states that Alexander McCandless Jr. and his bride Jennah Wilson were married on 26 January 1771 in Scotland, bedded in Ireland, and sailed (for America) the following day from Belfast, Mr. Ardinger believes that the McCandless clan came to America at the same time in 1771. He further states that it is recorded that the McCandless family stayed in eastern Pennsylvania for about a year before migrating west. He speculates that they stayed in Chanceford Township, York County, Pennsylvania which is were Elizabeth Ross McCandless's parents Hugh and Elizabeth Ross were already living.4
     On 25 August 1778 Yohogania County, Vrginia court proceedings record that Alexander McCandless, James Ewen (Ewing), John Bale (Bailey), and Thomas Redman are ordered to appraise the estate of their late neighbor, John Walker, and report back to the next court. This is the earliest record of Alexander McCandless living in the western frontier of Pennsylvania. Alexander had most likely settled in the area several years prior to this date.5
     Alexander McCandless Sr. and Alexander McCandless Jr. purchased 400 acres on the waters of Montours Run in Washington County, Pennsylvania, on 1 May 1779 from Jeremiah Meeks of Yohogania County, Virginia for 900 pounds, 7 shillings, 6 pence. The deed was witnessed by Alexander McCandless Sr., son and brother to the two Alexanders. The property was sold by the McCandlesses on 16 May 1780 to Joseph Smith. William McCandless again witnessed the event. Alexander McCandless Jr.'s wife Jenneh McCandless also signed the deed with her mark. The area were this property was located was claimed by both Virginia and Pennsylvania. The dispute was settled in 1781.6
     On 26 May 1781 Alexander McCandless Jr. and William McCandless provided an accounting of wheat, corn, and rye from the estate of their father Alexander McCandless Sr. They stated before a Justice of the Peace of Yohogania County, Virginia, that the estate produced 7 1/4 gallons of whiskey at 1 bushel of rye per gallon, 2 bushels of wheat, and 1/2 bushel of corn. Alexander, Jr. and William only received 1/1 bushel of corn.7 His estate was inventoried in April 1781 by his son William McCandless and Samuel Johnston and John Stone before the Yohogania County, Virginia Court. According to the inventory, the estate consisted of two mares, one horse, four cows, two heifers, nine sheep, some wheat, rye, oats, corn, and hay, one negro girl, one harrow, two plows with their irons and hangings, one lock chain, three pairs of draught chains, two carts, some carpenter tools, four feather beds, some wooling yarn and flax, a number of books on divinity, two looking glasses, his clothes and some miscellaneous articles. The estate was valued in both Pennsylvania and Virginia currency using both old rates and new rates.8
