Families covered: Campbell (MacIver) of Asknish, Campbell of Ballochyle, MacIver of Dergachie, Campbell (MacIver) of Kilbryde, MacIver of Lergaconzie, Campbell of Stronshiray
| It appears that Clan Iver was viewed for some years as quite separate from Clan Campbell, though the following connection shows that a connection between them has been made. www.electricscotland.com ("Clan MacIver") mentions the following Iver and we have seen it suggested elsewhere that he may have been the progenitor of many families with names as varied as Iverson, Macure, MacKeaver, MacGlasrich, MacQuee, Makiver, Orr and (as specifically mentioned by BLG1886) McUre & Ure. | |||||||||||||||
| Ivor Croumb = Iver Crom of Cowal, Asknish Lergachonzie & Glassary, Argyllshire father or grandfather of ... | |||||||||||||||

| A. | ?? MacIver | ||||||||||||||
| (1) We hope in due course to find a source that provides a reasoned connection between the above Malcolm and the undermentioned Charles and Iver but, from the following quote, we understand that others have tried yet failed. BLG1952 reports that "As in the case of the MacIver Campbells of Asknish the use of the patronymic MacIver instead of the Clan surname makes it difficult to trace exactly the early history of this family". (2) BLG1952 continues the above with: "In 1572, however, Duncan MacIver, Capt. of Inverary Castle, the head of the MacIvers of Asknish, refers to Charles Campbell of Ballochyle (see below) as his cousin, and describes Charles's grandfather (alive ca. 1500) as Alexander MacIver." We accept that the reference to "cousin" should probably be read as "kinsman" but we presume to show them connected as below. Note that this connection is deliberately vague! |

| BLG1952 disagrees with BLG1886 over the few generations, there being some confusion over different Charleses & Ivers. BLG1886 shows that this Iver dsp and was succeeded by his brother Charles who was father of Iver (father of Alexander who m. Violet Campbell) and of a Charles (d Worcester 1651). HJHeraldry (dated 1921, which uses Burke's Landed Gentry as its authority) follows BLG1886, having started with Charles, 3rd son of Alexander. We follow BLG1952 which does not mention any Charles "slain at the Battle of Worcester". | |||||||||||||||

| The following Robert is mentioned by BLG1886 but not by BLG1952 & HJHeraldry. He is shown as d 07.03.1634 aged 96 which would mean that he was probably born c1540 which, if correct, would suggest that he was probably a generation earlier. If he was of this generation, it is not clear who was his mother. | |||||||||||||||
