Subject: [NCCUMBER] Marriage Records right after Revolution (MacIver-MacDonald)
Date: Thu, 22 May 2003 00:51:25 -0700
1. Does anyone have a book of early marriages in the Cumberland county?
Captain MacIver fought for the Americans. He married right after the Revolution to (we think) Fanny MacDonald in No. Carolina. The grandson who left a letter to the family used the word "maybe" for her first name. Some members of the family think Cumberland Co. others think Chatham. The letter goes on to say he was from a well known clan in Scotland, and only came to the US shortly before the war.
2. Is there any place that might have births c1777-1795 in the county? They had at least 6 sons and some daughters. Ours was William Donald McIver, so the "MacDonald" could be his mother's surname. We think he was the youngest. He mentions that his brothers were in the War of 1812, but he was too young. So he fought with Andrew Jackson's Sharpshooters.
I have been stumbling around McIvers/MacIvers/McKeevers for over 35 years, before computers. I'm giving it another go around. All help will be appreciated.
