Iver MCKAY, EMIG 1754

                   I do not believe Iver to be a son of Robert Mckay and Patience Job.  Iver emigrated in 1754 with his wife directly to Cape Fear , NC. They then lived in Wilmington.  Thkey moved to bladen co before 1771.  There is no evidence of him going to VA where Robert Mckay and his wife were.  G. Brown Golode in his Virginia Cousins ( Ancestry and Posterity of John Goode of Whitby, 1887 states : Robert mckay, Jr of Frederick Co, Va had a son , james who removed to NC where he had many descendants, among them the Hon. James J. Mckay of Goldsboro...."   This is highly improbable  and unlikely .   W H.C. Goode, esq in his writings on the Mckay family state that Robert Mckay md Rachel Ridgway and their children list: " Jacob Mckay of Va and others,______Mckay who settled in NC where he has many desc a, among them Hon James J Mckay of Goldsborough...."
It is obvious  both  authors are guessing.  Neither authors even give IVER 's name

Neither are there any children Ivers family named after the Virgina crowd.  the children listed by Robert Mckay and Patience Job are: Andrew 1736-1804; Jacob, Margaret, Robert, Job , John

There IS a IVer Mckay that emig after 1772 to carolina who has been mistaken by the above mentioned writers but this Iver Mckay arrival is far too late to be the correct ancestor.

The IVer Mckay born in 1732 in Campbeltown, Kintyre stays in Campbeltown and marries Margaret Mceacharhe .  He did not emig to America.
