Industrialist, s/o Job & Sarah (Benham), m. Jane Caroline Tomlinson, 1 Child; partner of Candee, Dean & Cattee 1810∼Aged 70 years
Son of Job & Sarah Benham Candee
There is a discrepancy in year of passing, I went with the transcripts.
Candee became the first person in the world to manufacture rubber footwear. Candee used Goodyear's patent on rubber. These first overshoes were crude and needed much refining which his early years of manufacture took up in research and development. Candee improved the market for his rubber footwear and by the late 1840s his firm was on good footings. The name of the firm was established in 1852 as "Candee & Company" which consisted of four partners; the Hotchkiss brothers, Timothy Lester, and Candee as president.
