In you the rivers sing and my soul flees in them as you desire, and you send it where you will.
Aim my road on your bow of hope and in a frenzy I will free my flock of arrows. --
Pablo Neruda

and Hannah Candler are the progenitors of most* American Candlers.The earliest documented evidence of their presence in the Colonies dates from the 1750’s at South River Settlement - present-day Lynchburg, VA. There is good circumstantial evidence that they were there from the late 1740’s.

Daniel Candler was not the earliest Candler to come to Colonial America nor the first in Virginia
