Family relationships

John Glasgow’s father relationship to Robert Glasgow was recorded as Confident in the dated profile review. Ninian’s 1596 burgess admission names Robert as father and his 1613 testament names John as brother; surname, chronology and the 1619 witness support the common-father inference. Confidence applies to the record-defined brother represented by Glasgow-1030; identification with the 1618 Jonet Mathie husband remains probable.

Finding supported

Historical confidence review of existing citations; no new source-image inspection is claimed in this backfill. Record-defined brother; later marriage identity remains probable Confidence rests on the stated supported inference or compiled evidence, rather than a new direct parent clause.

Father relationship became certain

John Glasgow (Glasgow-1030; record-defined Ninian brother mapping) — father: Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-1096). Uncertain → Certain. Ninian’s 1596 burgess admission names Robert as father and his 1613 testament names John as brother; surname, chronology and the 1619 witness support the common-father inference. Confidence applies to the record-defined brother represented by Glasgow-1030; identification with the 1618 Jonet Mathie husband remains probable.
