About Mary

James Glasgow's 1775 will directly names his wife Mary. The 1817-1818 Wilson inheritance pleadings say Mary was a daughter of one of Archibald Wilson's six sisters. Because James's mother Rachel was another sister, the pleaded relationships make James and Mary first cousins.

What the research found

These research notes were last revised on 6 October 2026.

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

Neither the will nor the equity papers gives Mary the birth surname Crozier/Crosier or identifies her mother. Preserve Mary as James's wife and as a daughter of an unidentified Wilson sister, but treat the Crosier-512 surname and exact parentage as unproved.

Recommended correction — vital dates, 6 October 2026

Keep birth about 1737, with its basis stated: aged 85 at death on 10 October 1822, on the Gilder's Creek stone as transcribed (born October 1736 to October 1737). The transcription was read through a summarising fetch and should be confirmed on the page.

Current conclusion

James Glasgow's 1775 will directly names his wife **Mary**. The 1817-1818 Wilson
inheritance pleadings say Mary was a daughter of one of Archibald Wilson's six
sisters. Because James's mother Rachel was another sister, the pleaded
relationships make James and Mary first cousins.

Neither the will nor the equity papers gives Mary the birth surname
Crozier/Crosier or identifies her mother. Preserve Mary as James's wife and as a
daughter of an unidentified Wilson sister, but treat the `Crosier-512` surname
and exact parentage as unproved.
