Notes

An Account of Clan Iver

Duncan Campbell of Duchernan was born 1734. After studying for some years at the University of Glasgow, he embraced a mercantile life, and considerably augmented his patrimony by commercial enterprises iu America. He then proceeded to Jamaica,
where his maternal relatives possessed great estates and influence, and having enjoyed a further period of prosperity, became unexpectedly the victim of negligence and of the misfortunes of a friend, through which, after a legal process said to present some peculiar features, the family property in Scotland was alienated in 1793. He is said to have been an accomplished man, well versed in the languages and literature of modern Europe. He died unmarried, 2d Sept., 1800, leaving only a small property in Jamaica, in respect of which the present representative of the family was served heir in 1819. Duncan Campbell of Duchernan was succeeded as representative of the family by his nephew

Note: This property, in the parish of St. Anne's, Jamaica, was sold, but the proceeds were lost through the dishonesty of the attorney, who having become embarrassed,
decamped on receiving the money to the United States.

If you have a DNA test and a family tree in the form of a GEDCOM please consider a submission to the Project so we can obtain the widest coverage possible for Campbell related lineages.

A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship or descent. Little doubt there was a progenitor who was first known as “Cam Beul”. Eventually one of the families associated with that name would become the Chiefs of the Clan. A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship or descent.
