| Land & property William Agnew’s lease of Ballykeel to Robert Glasgow is dated 13 February 1738 Old Style (1739 by modern reckoning) and was registered on 22 May 1742. Its three lives are Robert, “Jas Glasgow Junr” and Rachel “otherwise Wilson Wife to the sd Robt Glasgow”; it names no second James and gives Robert no residence. | Finding supported Read on the saved register images of memorial 74015 by two readers. “Junior” points to an older namesake and states no relationship. No live WikiTree change. | Read the research → | |
| Dates & places Jane, wife of James Glasgow of Larne, died on 21 July 1820 aged 79 according to the Larne monument, so she was born in 1740 or 1741, not 1750. | Finding qualified From the transcription of the monument published in 1900, re-read on the page image; the stone itself has not been seen. The WikiTree date is queued for review, not changed. | Read the research → | |
| Family relationships The assessment that John and James Glascho of Kilwaughter Demesne (1669) were probably close kin is lowered to possible. | Finding qualified The evidence is consecutive hearth-roll entries with the same uncommon spelling. The men named John and James of 1700-01 never appear in the same minute and are tied to the 1669 householders only by unproved continuity. Brother, father and son, uncle and nephew, and cousin are all open. Nothing is detached on WikiTree. | Read the research → | |
| New records The Larne session minutes naming John Glasgow, sen., Robert Glasgow and James Glasgow belong to 1700 and 1701, not 1699 and 1700. John and Robert were stipend bondsmen for Kilwaughter and the South Side on 17 May 1700; James was made overseer for Kilwaughter probably on Thursday 29 May 1701. | Finding qualified Porter prints the minutes under 1699 and 1700 from a manuscript copy of the session record. He corrects the stipend run to 1700 himself and the weekdays confirm it; the 1701 date for James is an inference from the weekdays. The minutes state no relationship between the three men. No live WikiTree change. |

| Life details The Robert Glasgow marked “turned out” on the Larne session list of 1721-1769 and the Robert Glasgow of the discipline minute of 17 May 1747 are one man, probably Robert Glasgow of Kilwaughter (Glasgow-1143) and not the Robert of 1700-01. | Finding qualified Porter’s footnote ties the list note to the 1747 minute. The identification rests on age (the older Robert would have been in his late sixties or more) and Kilwaughter residence; no record states it, and a third Robert cannot be excluded. No live WikiTree change. |

| Dates & places Rachel Wilson’s birth “about 1680” has no source and would make her 51, 53 and 58 at the baptisms of her children in 1731, 1733 and 1738. The records allow about 1690 to 1712. | Finding qualified An estimate: it assumes a bride of at least about 17 in November 1729 and a mother of no more than about 48 in November 1738. The marriage and baptisms are known from a derivative register chronology. The WikiTree date is queued for review, not changed. | Read the research → | |
| Dates & places Robert Glasgow of Kilwaughter was alive on 20 December 1764, when he leased half of Ballykeel to Hugh Shannon, and probably in April 1772. “About 1772” is a last sighting, not a death estimate, and “about 1710” would make him a groom of 19; about 1708 or earlier fits the records. | Finding qualified No record gives his age or his death. The 1772 declaration’s date and Kilwaughter heading are known only second-hand. The WikiTree dates are queued for review, not changed. | Read the research → | |
| New records The ruling elder James Glasgow of the General Synod rolls is printed beside William Taylor of Drumaul in 1698 and 1703 and beside James Scott of Duneane in 1705; Larne’s own elder in 1703 was James Caldwell. He is probably not James Glasgow of Kilwaughter. | Finding qualified The rolls print no congregation for an elder. That the 1705 elder is the man of 1698 and 1703 is possible, not established. No Glasgow is printed as Larne’s elder in any roll from 1694 to 1720, which shows only who represented Larne at Synod. No live WikiTree change. |

| New records Porter prints one pall entry for William Glasgow: in 1734 the new pall “was to be lodged with William Glasgow Major”. The mortcloth receipts of 1739/40, 1741 and 1743 are not in Porter; they come from a derivative account of the session book. | Finding qualified “Major” may mean “the elder” (possible only). The later receipts stay unverified until PRONI MIC/1B/6 is read. No live WikiTree change. | Read the research → | |
| Life details John Glasco, Esq., said he was an officer on the Staff and was brought before the Bow Street magistrate charged with wounding patrolman John Smith. The reported incident occurred on Tuesday night after the play in Covent Garden; Glasco was committed. | Finding supported The Times reports John Glasco, Esq., self-described officer on the Staff, charged with wounding a patrolman and committed at Bow Street in 1799. Allegation and committal are not conviction; origin and identity remain unknown. Allegation and committal are not conviction. Military status is self-reported and unconfirmed; no Irish origin or kin is stated. Listed catalogue namesakes remain compatible or conditional leads; none is identified with the record. | Read the research → | |
| Life details John Glascow, a chairman, said he saw a man in black running with pistols after Martha Ray was shot in Covent Garden. | Finding supported The original Derby Mercury passage names John Glascow, described as a chairman, giving evidence after the Martha Ray shooting in Covent Garden. The provider label of 19 March 1779 is incompatible with the shooting on 7 April 1779, independently dated in the Old Bailey original. Exact publication date and personal identity remain unresolved; no Irish origin is stated. The Old Bailey indictment specifies that Martha Ray was shot on 7 April 1779 (printed p.207); that is the event date, not the indictment or newspaper publication date. The newspaper describes evidence after the shooting, not established trial testimony. Its March provider label is incorrect. Listed catalogue namesakes remain compatible or conditional leads; none is identified with the record. |

| Life details A Belfast notice dated 18 April 1792 advertises the brig William for Rotterdam and back to Belfast, naming William Glasgow as master and stating that the vessel would sail in eight days; freight enquiries were directed to Narcissus Batt. | Finding supported The surname is divided across two printed lines and indexed as Glascow. Same vessel, master and freight contact support continuity with the later Glasgow advertisements; no kin or personal residence is stated. Identity with Glasgow-3324 remains HOLD; no family change. |

| Family relationships The 20 December 1764 Ballykeel lease by Robert Glasgow to Hugh Shannon expressly includes “Jas Glasgow son of the sd Robt” among the lease lives. This independently corroborates Robert Glasgow-1143 as James Glasgow-1144’s father. | Finding qualified Original registered memorial inspected. It expressly names James as Robert’s son, but does not give James’s mother, age or later American residence. | Read the research → | |
| Land & property The original 10 March 1736 Newtown of Larne lease names William and Hugh Glasgow as joint lessees of two north-side tenements. Its measuring lives are George II, Frederick Prince of Wales and Prince William Augustus. | Finding qualified Original registered memorial inspected; the date corrects the former 12 March reading. Royal lives are not relatives; no brotherhood or parentage is stated. | Read the research → | |
| Land & property The separate memorial 173108 records James Glasgow, ropemaker, assigning a messuage to John Hill on 28 March 1768; its witnessing James Glasgow is described as farmer. | Finding qualified Original occupation checked. The same-day ropewalk and messuage assignments are different instruments. Whether the farmer and tanner witnesses are one man is unresolved. | Read the research → | |
| Land & property An 1874 indenture traces James Glasgow’s 2 October 1779 Newtown of Larne lease to a 25 February 1832 renewal to Anne and Jane Glasgow. | Finding qualified Original recital inspected. It establishes title succession, not stated descent; James and both women’s identities remain unresolved. | Read the research → | |
| Land & property Memorial 173104 records James Glasgow, ropemaker, assigning the ropewalk and workhouse to John Hill on 28 March 1768; a second James Glasgow witnesses as tanner. | Finding qualified Original occupation reading checked. This distinguishes the principal from his same-name witness, but does not establish the tanner’s family identity. | Read the research → | |
| New records A deed dated 12 May 1772 names Wm Glasgow of Larne as a witness; it was registered on 9 November 1784. | Finding qualified Original manuscript inspected. No age, occupation or relative distinguishes the older and younger William; registration does not establish survival to 1784. | Read the research → | |
| New records The Tepper index records Robt Glasgow, 1738, with locality Ballykeel, Co Ant. The underlying entry concerns a Ballykeel lease, rather than an American migration. | Finding qualified Saved transcript inspected; original record image was not inspected for this capture. Profile association does not establish every attached adult identity. | Read the research → | |
| New records James Glasgow of Larne, tanner, and John Weir, notary, witnessed a Newtown mortgage dated 22 June 1778; James swore its affidavit at Larne on 29 June. | Finding qualified The occupational sequence supports the separate Larne tanner; identity with the monument man remains strong rather than proved. | Read the research → | |
| Life details The original memorial 278037 calls James Glasgow of Larne a tanner in the 14 January 1784 lease; the affidavit and registration are in August 1790. | Finding qualified Original occupation corrects the machine reading “turner”. Identification with James-3991 is strong but no deed names his family. | Read the research → |
