About Mary

The original Glasgow Bible register image records Mary's marriage to John Glasgow on 21 May 1798, their nine children and Mary's death on 17 May 1859. The live citation points only to the family site's home page and should be replaced with the record image and its media description.

What the research found

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

The live biography says son James died in Ohio. The Bible supplies no death place, while the family's documented chronology still places them in Ireland when James died in 1823. Ohio should not be asserted as his death place.

Mary's currently attached structured death location must remain in place until a specific sourced replacement location is established; conflicting or weak evidence alone does not justify clearing it.

Current conclusion

The original [Glasgow Bible register image](https://hiltner.com/mckeown/histories/8479.jpeg)
records Mary's marriage to John Glasgow on 21 May 1798, their nine children and
Mary's death on 17 May 1859. The live citation points only to the family site's
home page and should be replaced with the record image and its
[media description](https://hiltner.com/mckeown/showmedia.php?mediaID=532&medialinkID=726).

The live biography says son James died in Ohio. The Bible supplies no death
place, while the family's documented chronology still places them in Ireland
when James died in 1823. Ohio should not be asserted as his death place.

Mary's currently attached structured death location must remain in place until
a specific sourced replacement location is established; conflicting or weak
evidence alone does not justify clearing it.
