Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn
on Genesis 10:15-18
Canaan's sons are the nations Israel would later meet in the land, Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites and Hivites. John Wesley notes this line is set out most particularly. The only ground Abraham ever owns in the land of promise is the cave at Machpelah, bought from the Hittites in chapter 23, and it is a grave.

And the Jebusite,.... Who had their name from Jebus, a third son of Canaan, and from whom Jerusalem was called Jebus, Jdg 19:10 and where his posterity continued to dwell when the land of Canaan was possessed by the Israelites; for they were so strong and powerful, that the men of Judah could not drive them out from thence, and here they remained until the times of David, who dispossessed them of it, Jos 15:
