Alexander MacIver

Alexander MacIver seems to have been the name he used--the name Fraser may have been assumed on the basis of his regiment and clan, although it is not clear why his name was thought to be John. Although he was taken prisoner at Culloden, he does not appear under either name in Cumberland's list of prisoners taken at Culloden (RA CP/Main Box 69 Series XI.20.22, as transcribed by Darren Layne) or in Prisoners of the '45. While the printed account transcribed in the Lyon in Mourning has him as an Ensign, Rosebury's List of Persons Concerned in the Rebellion has him as a Sergeant (p. 79). He is further described in the latter source as a tenant at Wellhouse near Beauly, parish of Kilmorack (p. 78).
