About James

This profile conflates an unproved James Glasgow of Moneymore with several same-name men and records. The defensible core is David Faris's secondary statement that Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-12) was a son of “James Glasgow of Moneymore.” Robert's pension proves Robert's County Derry birth and 1769 migration but does not name his father.

What the research found

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

The 1831 death should be removed. St Luran's register records a different James Glasgow of Cookstown (Glasgow-4024), buried 13 March 1831 aged 40. He was created as an unconnected profile on 20 August 2026.

Live verification on 21 August 2026 confirmed that the revised WikiTree biography is now in place. It removes the suffix II and structured 1831 death, preserves and qualifies the complete 1770 immigration and 1804 naturalisation references, includes the candidate matrix, and treats the proposed family links as uncertain. No further profile update from the local draft remains outstanding.

Postal and certificate originals, 5 October 2026

James Glasgow, Edinburgh game certificate, 1789: Birth c.1722, estimated, County Londonderry; death date not recorded. Chronologically possible, but no Edinburgh/certificate bridge is documented. This Edinburgh certificate holder remains separate from the other James records. Glasgow-4124 and other chronologically compatible profiles have no certificate bridge. Glasgow-804’s exact recorded May 1788 death conflicts with an issued-since-September-1789 certificate if the death is correctly attributed; Glasgow-1144’s estimated c.1793 death is not a precise boundary. No relationship change follows.

Pre-1800 original newspapers, 5 October 2026

James Glascow, master of Greenwich Packet: possible, weaker. Estimated c.1722 birth is chronologically plausible; death date absent. Irish location is not a concrete contradiction. Glasgow-4124 is a possible occupational comparison with a 1733 mariner record, separated by 44 years. No likely identity is proved, and no link to the 1757 addressee or Irish James records is established. No parent, spouse or migration amendment follows.

Pre-1800 original newspapers, 5 October 2026

James Glascow, Fogs Manor postal addressee: possible, weaker. Estimated c.1722 birth is chronologically plausible; death date absent. Irish location is not a concrete contradiction. The postal record states no occupation. No existing person is identified. The postal addressee, 1777 shipmaster and Irish James occurrences remain separate; the record gives no maritime occupation. No parent, spouse or migration amendment follows.

Evidence assessment

Claim	Assessment	Reason
Robert's father was James of Moneymore	Plausible, unproved	Faris states it; no contemporary parentage record found
Arthur, Robert, and Joseph were brothers	Well supported	1806 letter and Joseph's will

FamilySearch full-text deed pass - 21 August 2026

Exact-name searches covered James Glasgow, James Glasgo, James Glascow, Mary Harkness and Mary Glasgow in eighteenth-century Moneymore, Derryloran, Cookstown and Kilrea. No record naming Mary Harkness or Mary Glasgow was found in those localities.

The James results were inspected rather than assigned by name alone. They belong to already-separated men in Larne and the Aghadonvane/Leitrim-Donegal network, including the Larne ropemaker and farmer and James of Aghadonvane. Examples include the 1766 Larne ropemaker deed, the 1776 Aghadonvane mortgage, the 1780 Aghadonvane transaction, and the 1778 Larne farmer affidavit. None names Moneymore, Derryloran, Cookstown, Kilrea, Mary Harkness, or the emigrant sibling group. No result can therefore be assigned to Glasgow-1024.

Source findings, 5 October 2026

5 October 2026 candidate review: Estimated birth c. 1722 and Moneymore context are compatible; neither identifies the Omagh publican. James Glasco of Omagh’s 1786 marriage and 1793 business notices are retained as documentary evidence. This profile is a possible candidate; no spouse, parent, occupation or place is attached. The 1786 groom and 1793 contact are probably the same man, with no proved profile bridge.

Source findings

James Glascow, Fogs Manor, is listed among letters remaining in the Philadelphia post office. Fogs Manor is preserved as printed. “Phil. Co.” is in the separate left-hand A column and is not assigned to James in the right-hand G column. Postal addressee only; occupation, exact jurisdiction and family are unstated. No identity bridge to the 1777 master or Irish James records. The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1757-04-07, p.1

Source findings

Greenwich Packet: James Glascow, master; James Young, owner; from Philadelphia to Winyew, Carolina; with rum, bread, flour and porter. Three issues preserve the same vessel-list passage. The visible heading is “By the Orpheus and Daphne”; no overall heading or explicit genre label was found in the inspected area. The purpose of the list remains unresolved. The destination spelling is uncertain and not normalized. The owner is James Young, not James Glascow. The Public Advertiser, 1777-05-14, p.2, The Ipswich Journal, 1777-05-17, p.1, The Gloucester Journal, 1777-05-19, p.1

Source findings

James Glasgow, Esq., Edinburgh, appears in the Mid-Lothian game-duty list of certificates issued since 8 September 1789. Entry reads Glasgow, James, Esq; Edinburgh. The list concerns issued game certificates, not a dated shooting event or a family relationship. Date scope is the list heading, not an exact certificate date. The clipping has a disclosed contrast adjustment, without reconstruction. The Edinburgh Advertiser, 1789-12-11, p.8

Source findings — 1766 Kildress and Derryloran return citations, 7 October 2026

The 1766 Kildress return naming James Glasgow, Protestant, at Corvanaghan is National Archives of Ireland, Parliamentary Return 667, IHP/1/667, with a Representative Church Body Library transcript, MS 23, p. 176. Both are assessed in Glasgow-3137's findings. The return gives no age, wife or children.

The 1766 Derryloran return transcription also names James Harkness in Cookstown and Robert Harkness at Oghless. They show the Harkness surname in the same district but identify neither Mary Harkness nor Robert's father.

Distinct people and candidates

Person	Treatment
Glasgow-4024, Cookstown James buried 13 March 1831 aged 40	Created unconnected; distinct from the Moneymore father
Glasgow-2988, James of Derryloran/Cookstown	Leading local possible duplicate: geography and estimated generation fit, but multiple nearby same-name householders and no family-linking record prevent a merge
Glasgow-3444, James of Cookstown, 1776–1866	Separate later-generation profile

Profile or occurrence	Evidence	Assessment
Glasgow-1024	Faris's late description of Robert as a son of “James Glasgow of Moneymore”; later compiled 1722/Mary Harkness pedigree	Target identity; vital dates, wife and migration remain unproved
Glasgow-3137	Original 1766 Kildress return names Protestant householder James Glasgow at Corvanaghan	Strongest documented local candidate; the record gives no age, wife, children or later history
Glasgow-2988	Estimated c. 1720 profile with a Cookstown-area association	Cannot be ruled out, but has no uniquely identifying record; its use of the Corvanaghan occurrence duplicates Glasgow-3137
Glasgow-1970	The 1879 Hillsdale history says James and his Mitchell wife migrated from Scotland to northern Ireland about 1750 and settled near Cookstown	Plausible separate family reconstruction and possible candidate; no record links it specifically to Corvanaghan or Moneymore
Glasgow-1025	1759 estate/probate index for James Glasgow of Drumearn	Unlikely to be the later emigrant if the estate proceeding followed his death
Glasgow-2989	Estimated c. 1740 Derryloran profile, attached to Glasgow-2988	Tree relationship only; could instead represent either 1766 Drumearn householder or another man
Glasgow-3444 and Glasgow-3986	Born 1776 Cookstown and 1773 Larne respectively	Later generation; excluded as Robert's father
Early Augusta/Cecil James	American deed references from 1747–1753	Cannot be Robert's father without evidence of return travel because Robert said he was born in Ireland in 1749

No located record rules out Glasgow-2988 and Glasgow-1024 being the same person. The case is indirect: the estimated generation fits, Corvanaghan is roughly nine miles from Moneymore, and no post-1766 Irish record has been identified for the Corvanaghan householder. The 1826 Kildress tithe list names David and John Glasgow at Muntober, John at Whitehill and William at Oritor, but no Glasgow occupier at Corvanaghan. This is consistent with departure or extinction of that holding, but sixty years is too long an interval for it to prove migration.

The obstacle is that Glasgow-2988 itself is not identified by the Corvanaghan return. That occurrence is already represented by Glasgow-3137, while two other men called James Glasgo were householders at Drumearn in adjacent Derryloran in 1766. The 1770 Turk compilation and 1804 Pennsylvania naturalisation index do not name an Irish townland, relatives or associates.

Current conclusion: Glasgow-2988 is a credible possible duplicate of Glasgow-1024, and Glasgow-3137 is the strongest record-based candidate for both. None of the three identities is proved to be the same man.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

The Public Advertiser, 1777-05-14, p.2: no longer a candidate for this profile. 1777 prize list naming James Glascow as master of the Greenwich Packet (owner James Young), Philadelphia to Winyaw, South Carolina. He was a Philadelphia-trade master in wartime. Two dozen namesakes exist, none with any maritime or Philadelphia record, so he cannot be identified.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026The Public Register, or, Freeman's Journal, 1786-09-05, p.3 : no longer a candidate for this profile.

The Public Register, or, Freeman's Journal, 1786-09-05, p.3: no longer a candidate for this profile. Freeman's Journal 5 Sep 1786 marriage: Mr. James Glasco of Omagh, publican, aged 61, to Miss Jane Murray of the same place, aged 16. Neither person has a compatible WikiTree profile with any Omagh link. All existing James namesakes are only possible, and the Dublin carpenter Glasco-148 is now unlikely. Recommend new profiles for James Glasco of Omagh (b. c.1725) and Jane Murray (b. c.1770), linked as spouses.
The Northern Star, 1793-05-11, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. Northern Star 11 and 18 May 1793: the Hope (Abner Lowell master), Londonderry for Newcastle and Philadelphia; freight or passage enquiries to Mr. James Glasco, Omagh (notice signed by Robert Burnside, Londonderry, 25 Apr 1793). Very probably the 1786 Omagh publican. Same identity conclusion as group 1050075355: no existing profile is preferred, and a new profile draft is recommended.
The Northern Star, 1793-05-25, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. Northern Star 25 May 1793: a repeat of the Hope advertisement with the sailing put off; contact still Mr. James Glasco, Omagh. Same conclusion as the 11 and 18 May copies.
The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1757-04-07, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. James Glascow, 'Fogs Manor' (Fagg's Manor, Londonderry Township, Chester County), 1757 Philadelphia letter list. The Chester County tax index shows a James Glascow/Glasgo landholding in Londonderry Township 1739-1740 and taxed in East/West Nottingham 1747-1758, so the addressee is very likely that local man; no WikiTree profile is documented in Chester County. Glasgow-2868 (Cecil County, d. c.1784) is the only regionally compatible profile, still only possible.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

The Edinburgh Advertiser, 1789-12-11, p.8: no longer a candidate for this profile. Dec 1789 Mid-Lothian game-certificate list: 'Glasgow, James, Esq; Edinburgh'. Best lead is James Glasgow (Glasgow-1142), St Vincent planter and brother of Robert of Montgreenan, who died in Calder parish near Edinburgh, but this is unproved.

Other research notes

Current-profile material preserved

Private family details withheld.

These items are preserved with corrected evidence language. The Turk entry is a compiled index whose own annotation permits arrival, marriage or first mention; the 1804 record establishes a same-name naturalization applicant but does not identify him as Robert's father. The Y-DNA kit most plausibly descends through Robert and is not an independent test of Robert's father.

Provenance and locality update — 20 August 2026The death about 1831 is not merely uncertain: it is unsupported and should be removed.

The death about 1831 is not merely uncertain: it is unsupported and should be removed. The located pedigree trail originally supplied no death date.

Date	Pedigree development
1990	Faris calls Robert a son of “James Glasgow of Moneymore”; the accessible summary supplies no father vital dates.
1995	World Family Tree 6075 supplies James c. 1722, Mary c. 1727, marriage c. 1748 and three sons, but no death for either parent.
2010	Earliest recovered WeRelate copy still has no death event.
Later	Unsourced 1803 and then c. 1831 deaths appear in online trees.

The strongest specific source of 1831 contamination is Glasgow-4024, the Cookstown man buried on 13 March 1831 aged 40. This cannot prove how the error arose, but it proves that the nearby exact-name burial belongs to another generation.

The 1766 return for Moneymore and Ballygrooby contains no Glasgow or Harkness household head. This is qualified negative evidence, because the return does not name every resident, but it conflicts with the asserted established household of James, Mary and several children. Contemporary surname geography is stronger around Derryloran, Drumearn and Cookstown and does not identify which local James, if any, was Robert's father.

The working conclusion is that Glasgow-1024 is a composite of a late father tradition, a 1995 pedigree, early Augusta/Cecil records, an 1804 Pennsylvania naturalisation applicant and the unrelated 1831 Cookstown burial.

Tyrone record reassessment - 20 August 2026The 1759 will-index place is Drumcarn , not Drumearn.

The 1759 will-index place is Drumcarn, not Drumearn. It therefore does not uniquely identify the linked father Glasgow-1025. It could chronologically belong to this James after the births of Robert and Arthur, which would fit the later tradition that Arthur was a ward by 1766, but the index gives no age, wife, children or executors. This remains a hypothesis, not a death assignment.

Glasgow-2988 and Glasgow-3137 duplicate the same documented person: the 1766 Corvanaghan householder. Merging those profiles removes a catalogue duplicate but does not prove that the resulting person was James of Moneymore.

A genuine Harkness-Glasgow marriage occurs in the same regional network. The 1892 biography of William Glasgow Harkness names his parents as James Harkness of Oritor and Margaret Glasgow of Moneymore. This is positive FAN-network evidence that the two families intermarried and modestly increases the plausibility of another Glasgow-Harkness marriage. It does not identify Mary Harkness or directly prove that she was the wife of this James.

The most promising proof records are PRONI T1959/1-8, D1413/3a-b and T1762, followed by the Drapers' estate papers D3632. See the candidate matrix.

Sibling and Mitchell-family reassessment — 20 August 2026Faris's catalogue summary says Robert emigrated with three brothers and one sister.

Faris's catalogue summary says Robert emigrated with three brothers and one sister. Since Robert, Arthur and Joseph are the three independently established brothers in the present reconstruction, one further brother is expected.

A 2024 Adams County family-history article identifies John Glasgow of Peters Township, Pennsylvania, who died in 1779, as that brother and states that the surviving brothers Joseph, Robert and Arthur moved to Virginia after John's death. Joseph was a witness to John's 1779 will. The article is secondary and the witness relationship alone does not prove kinship, but together they provide a substantially better explanation of Faris's fourth brother than the unsupported Glasgow-3305 profile.

The Cookstown Mitchell family represented by Glasgow-1970 is a serious same-generation comparison. The 1879 History of Hillsdale County says James Glasgow and his Mitchell wife moved from Scotland to northern Ireland about 1750, settled near Cookstown, and had a son John whose descendants later went to Michigan. The narrative is accurately reflected by Glasgow-1970 -> Glasgow-1968 -> Glasgow-1969 and Glasgow-1967.

History of Hillsdale County, page 263

Glasgow-1970 cannot be ruled out by geography or name. A merger is not presently justified, however. The account places his son John and John's family near Cookstown into the nineteenth century, while the emigrant-family traditions place Arthur's mother and elder brothers in America by 1766 or Robert there by 1769. Identifying the two Jameses would require additional migration, remarriage or a significant error in one of those traditions.

Glasgow-2988 also remains unresolved. His only concrete local occurrence is the 1766 Corvanaghan householder, and no post-1766 record has yet been identified. That leaves him chronologically compatible with migration, but there were several contemporary James Glasgows in Derryloran and the census entry supplies no relatives.

Revised candidate ranking

The father described by Faris as James Glasgow of Moneymore remains an unidentified traditional person.
Glasgow-2988 cannot be ruled out and is the strongest existing-profile candidate for a man who disappears from the located Irish record after 1766.
Glasgow-1970 is a documented Cookstown-family progenitor but is probably distinct unless the conflicting migration chronology can be resolved.
The early Augusta/Cecil County James is a separate candidate whose American presence before Robert's Irish birth requires explanation.
Glasgow-3305 is not supported as a sibling; John of Peters Township now better fits the expected fourth brother.

No merge among Glasgow-1024, Glasgow-2988 and Glasgow-1970 is presently evidence-safe.

Provenance and locality update — 20 August 2026

The death about 1831 is not merely uncertain: it is unsupported and should be removed. The located pedigree trail originally supplied no death date.

| Date | Pedigree development |
|---|---|
| 1990 | Faris calls Robert a son of “James Glasgow of Moneymore”; the accessible summary supplies no father vital dates. |
| 1995 | World Family Tree 6075 supplies James c. 1722, Mary c. 1727, marriage c. 1748 and three sons, but no death for either parent. |
| 2010 | Earliest recovered WeRelate copy still has no death event. |
| Later | Unsourced 1803 and then c. 1831 deaths appear in online trees. |

The strongest specific source of 1831 contamination is [Glasgow-4024](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-4024), the Cookstown man buried on 13 March 1831 aged 40. This cannot prove how the error arose, but it proves that the nearby exact-name burial belongs to another generation.

The 1766 return for Moneymore and Ballygrooby contains no Glasgow or Harkness household head. This is qualified negative evidence, because the return does not name every resident, but it conflicts with the asserted established household of James, Mary and several children. Contemporary surname geography is stronger around Derryloran, Drumearn and Cookstown and does not identify which local James, if any, was Robert's father.

The working conclusion is that `Glasgow-1024` is a composite of a late father tradition, a 1995 pedigree, early Augusta/Cecil records, an 1804 Pennsylvania naturalisation applicant and the unrelated 1831 Cookstown burial.

Conclusion

This profile conflates an unproved **James Glasgow of Moneymore** with several same-name men and records. The defensible core is David Faris's secondary statement that [Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-12)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-12) was a son of “James Glasgow of Moneymore.” Robert's pension proves Robert's County Derry birth and 1769 migration but does not name his father.

The 1831 death should be removed. St Luran's register records a different [James Glasgow of Cookstown (Glasgow-4024)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-4024), buried 13 March 1831 aged 40. He was created as an unconnected profile on 20 August 2026.

Live verification on 21 August 2026 confirmed that the revised WikiTree biography is now in place. It removes the suffix II and structured 1831 death, preserves and qualifies the complete 1770 immigration and 1804 naturalisation references, includes the candidate matrix, and treats the proposed family links as uncertain. No further profile update from the local draft remains outstanding.

Distinct people and candidates

| Person | Treatment |

| [Glasgow-2988](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-2988), James of Derryloran/Cookstown | Leading local possible duplicate: geography and estimated generation fit, but multiple nearby same-name householders and no family-linking record prevent a merge |
| [Glasgow-3444](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3444), James of Cookstown, 1776–1866 | Separate later-generation profile |
| [Glasgow-3986](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3986), James of Larne, 1773–1831 | Separate Larne man; age and burial place conflict |
| Augusta/Cecil James, documented 1747–1753 | Reconstruct from original deeds before considering identity |
| Pennsylvania naturalisation applicant, 1804 | Obtain original card or petition before considering identity |

Candidate comparison: James of Moneymore

| Profile or occurrence | Evidence | Assessment |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Glasgow-1024](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1024) | Faris's late description of Robert as a son of “James Glasgow of Moneymore”; later compiled 1722/Mary Harkness pedigree | Target identity; vital dates, wife and migration remain unproved |
| [Glasgow-3137](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3137) | Original 1766 Kildress return names Protestant householder James Glasgow at Corvanaghan | Strongest documented local candidate; the record gives no age, wife, children or later history |
| [Glasgow-2988](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-2988) | Estimated c. 1720 profile with a Cookstown-area association | Cannot be ruled out, but has no uniquely identifying record; its use of the Corvanaghan occurrence duplicates Glasgow-3137 |
| [Glasgow-1970](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1970) | The 1879 Hillsdale history says James and his Mitchell wife migrated from Scotland to northern Ireland about 1750 and settled near Cookstown | Plausible separate family reconstruction and possible candidate; no record links it specifically to Corvanaghan or Moneymore |
| [Glasgow-1025](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1025) | 1759 estate/probate index for James Glasgow of Drumearn | Unlikely to be the later emigrant if the estate proceeding followed his death |
| [Glasgow-2989](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-2989) | Estimated c. 1740 Derryloran profile, attached to Glasgow-2988 | Tree relationship only; could instead represent either 1766 Drumearn householder or another man |
| [Glasgow-3444](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3444) and [Glasgow-3986](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3986) | Born 1776 Cookstown and 1773 Larne respectively | Later generation; excluded as Robert's father |
| Early Augusta/Cecil James | American deed references from 1747–1753 | Cannot be Robert's father without evidence of return travel because Robert said he was born in Ireland in 1749 |

No located record rules out Glasgow-2988 and Glasgow-1024 being the same person. The case is indirect: the estimated generation fits, Corvanaghan is roughly nine miles from Moneymore, and no post-1766 Irish record has been identified for the Corvanaghan householder. The 1826 Kildress tithe list names David and John Glasgow at Muntober, John at Whitehill and William at Oritor, but no Glasgow occupier at Corvanaghan. This is consistent with departure or extinction of that holding, but sixty years is too long an interval for it to prove migration.

The obstacle is that Glasgow-2988 itself is not identified by the Corvanaghan return. That occurrence is already represented by Glasgow-3137, while two other men called James Glasgo were householders at Drumearn in adjacent Derryloran in 1766. The 1770 Turk compilation and 1804 Pennsylvania naturalisation index do not name an Irish townland, relatives or associates.

**Current conclusion:** Glasgow-2988 is a credible possible duplicate of Glasgow-1024, and Glasgow-3137 is the strongest record-based candidate for both. None of the three identities is proved to be the same man.

Tyrone record reassessment - 20 August 2026

The 1759 will-index place is **Drumcarn**, not Drumearn. It therefore does not
uniquely identify the linked father `Glasgow-1025`. It could chronologically
belong to this James after the births of Robert and Arthur, which would fit the
later tradition that Arthur was a ward by 1766, but the index gives no age,
wife, children or executors. This remains a hypothesis, not a death assignment.

`Glasgow-2988` and `Glasgow-3137` duplicate the same documented person: the
1766 Corvanaghan householder. Merging those profiles removes a catalogue
duplicate but does not prove that the resulting person was James of Moneymore.

A genuine Harkness-Glasgow marriage occurs in the same regional network. The
1892 biography of [[Harkness-2201|William Glasgow Harkness]] names his parents as
[[Harkness-2200|James Harkness of Oritor]] and [[Glasgow-4026|Margaret Glasgow of
Moneymore]]. This is positive FAN-network
evidence that the two families intermarried and modestly increases the
plausibility of another Glasgow-Harkness marriage. It does not identify Mary
Harkness or directly prove that she was the wife of this James.

The most promising proof records are PRONI `T1959/1-8`, `D1413/3a-b` and
`T1762`, followed by the Drapers' estate papers `D3632`. See the [candidate
matrix](../../surname-research/james-glasgow-tyrone-moneymore-candidate-matrix.md).

Sibling and Mitchell-family reassessment — 20 August 2026

- [Faris catalogue summary](https://search.worldcat.org/title/22731567)
- [Adams County family-history account](https://www.peoplesdefender.com/2024/03/29/our-ancestors-of-adams-county-3/)
- [Cumberland County will index](https://www.sampubco.com/wills/pa/pacumberland01.htm)

The Cookstown Mitchell family represented by Glasgow-1970 is a serious same-generation comparison. The 1879 *History of Hillsdale County* says James Glasgow and his Mitchell wife moved from Scotland to northern Ireland about 1750, settled near Cookstown, and had a son John whose descendants later went to Michigan. The narrative is accurately reflected by Glasgow-1970 -> Glasgow-1968 -> Glasgow-1969 and Glasgow-1967.

[History of Hillsdale County, page 263](https://archive.org/details/bad0928.0001.001.umich.edu/page/263/mode/1up)

### Revised candidate ranking

1. The father described by Faris as James Glasgow of Moneymore remains an unidentified traditional person.
2. Glasgow-2988 cannot be ruled out and is the strongest existing-profile candidate for a man who disappears from the located Irish record after 1766.
3. Glasgow-1970 is a documented Cookstown-family progenitor but is probably distinct unless the conflicting migration chronology can be resolved.
4. The early Augusta/Cecil County James is a separate candidate whose American presence before Robert's Irish birth requires explanation.
5. Glasgow-3305 is not supported as a sibling; John of Peters Township now better fits the expected fourth brother.

No merge among Glasgow-1024, Glasgow-2988 and Glasgow-1970 is presently evidence-safe.

FamilySearch full-text deed pass - 21 August 2026

Exact-name searches covered James Glasgow, James Glasgo, James Glascow, Mary
Harkness and Mary Glasgow in eighteenth-century Moneymore, Derryloran,
Cookstown and Kilrea. No record naming Mary Harkness or Mary Glasgow was found
in those localities.

The James results were inspected rather than assigned by name alone. They
belong to already-separated men in Larne and the Aghadonvane/Leitrim-Donegal
network, including the Larne ropemaker and farmer and James of Aghadonvane.
Examples include the [1766 Larne ropemaker deed](https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-J9XP-J), the [1776 Aghadonvane mortgage](https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-N9YN-4), the [1780 Aghadonvane transaction](https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-P9LW-G), and the [1778 Larne farmer affidavit](https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-9WVP-C). None names Moneymore, Derryloran, Cookstown, Kilrea, Mary Harkness, or the emigrant sibling group. No result can therefore be assigned to Glasgow-1024.

Source findings

5 October 2026 candidate review: Estimated birth c. 1722 and Moneymore context are compatible; neither identifies the Omagh publican. [James Glasco of Omagh’s 1786 marriage and 1793 business notices](/research/subjects/newspapers-early-glasgow/#james-glasco-omagh) are retained as documentary evidence. This profile is a possible candidate; no spouse, parent, occupation or place is attached. The 1786 groom and 1793 contact are probably the same man, with no proved profile bridge.

Current conclusion — pre-1800 original newspapers, 5 October 2026

James Glascow, Fogs Manor postal addressee: possible, weaker. Estimated c.1722 birth is chronologically plausible; death date absent. Irish location is not a concrete contradiction. The postal record states no occupation. No existing person is identified. The postal addressee, 1777 shipmaster and Irish James occurrences remain separate; the record gives no maritime occupation. No parent, spouse or migration amendment follows.

Source findings

James Glascow, Fogs Manor, is listed among letters remaining in the Philadelphia post office. Fogs Manor is preserved as printed. “Phil. Co.” is in the separate left-hand A column and is not assigned to James in the right-hand G column. Postal addressee only; occupation, exact jurisdiction and family are unstated. No identity bridge to the 1777 master or Irish James records. [The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1757-04-07, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/39395391/)

Next questions

Identify the historical Fogs Manor address from contemporary postal, land and tax records; compare original family evidence before assigning a profile.

Current conclusion — pre-1800 original newspapers, 5 October 2026

James Glascow, master of Greenwich Packet: possible, weaker. Estimated c.1722 birth is chronologically plausible; death date absent. Irish location is not a concrete contradiction. Glasgow-4124 is a possible occupational comparison with a 1733 mariner record, separated by 44 years. No likely identity is proved, and no link to the 1757 addressee or Irish James records is established. No parent, spouse or migration amendment follows.

Source findings

Greenwich Packet: James Glascow, master; James Young, owner; from Philadelphia to Winyew, Carolina; with rum, bread, flour and porter. Three issues preserve the same vessel-list passage. The visible heading is “By the Orpheus and Daphne”; no overall heading or explicit genre label was found in the inspected area. The purpose of the list remains unresolved. The destination spelling is uncertain and not normalized. The owner is James Young, not James Glascow. [The Public Advertiser, 1777-05-14, p.2](https://www.newspapers.com/image/34421452/), [The Ipswich Journal, 1777-05-17, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/396765804/), [The Gloucester Journal, 1777-05-19, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/971522063/)

Next questions

Check the report’s overall heading, prize/admiralty records and original vessel/master papers. Bridge to any profile by residence, signatures or family evidence.

Current conclusion — postal and certificate originals, 5 October 2026

James Glasgow, Edinburgh game certificate, 1789: Birth c.1722, estimated, County Londonderry; death date not recorded. Chronologically possible, but no Edinburgh/certificate bridge is documented. This Edinburgh certificate holder remains separate from the other James records. Glasgow-4124 and other chronologically compatible profiles have no certificate bridge. Glasgow-804’s exact recorded May 1788 death conflicts with an issued-since-September-1789 certificate if the death is correctly attributed; Glasgow-1144’s estimated c.1793 death is not a precise boundary. No relationship change follows.

Source findings

James Glasgow, Esq., Edinburgh, appears in the Mid-Lothian game-duty list of certificates issued since 8 September 1789. Entry reads Glasgow, James, Esq; Edinburgh. The list concerns issued game certificates, not a dated shooting event or a family relationship. Date scope is the list heading, not an exact certificate date. The clipping has a disclosed contrast adjustment, without reconstruction. [The Edinburgh Advertiser, 1789-12-11, p.8](https://www.newspapers.com/image/601822968/)

Next questions

Compare original local tax, land, probate and institutional records, preserving the list’s stated role; check plausible catalogue profiles before an identity or relationship change.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

- [The Public Advertiser, 1777-05-14, p.2](https://www.newspapers.com/image/34421452/): no longer a candidate for this profile. 1777 prize list naming James Glascow as master of the Greenwich Packet (owner James Young), Philadelphia to Winyaw, South Carolina. He was a Philadelphia-trade master in wartime. Two dozen namesakes exist, none with any maritime or Philadelphia record, so he cannot be identified.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

- [The Public Register, or, Freeman's Journal, 1786-09-05, p.3](https://www.newspapers.com/image/1050075355/): no longer a candidate for this profile. Freeman's Journal 5 Sep 1786 marriage: Mr. James Glasco of Omagh, publican, aged 61, to Miss Jane Murray of the same place, aged 16. Neither person has a compatible WikiTree profile with any Omagh link. All existing James namesakes are only possible, and the Dublin carpenter Glasco-148 is now unlikely. Recommend new profiles for James Glasco of Omagh (b. c.1725) and Jane Murray (b. c.1770), linked as spouses.
- [The Northern Star, 1793-05-11, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/72021067/): no longer a candidate for this profile. Northern Star 11 and 18 May 1793: the Hope (Abner Lowell master), Londonderry for Newcastle and Philadelphia; freight or passage enquiries to Mr. James Glasco, Omagh (notice signed by Robert Burnside, Londonderry, 25 Apr 1793). Very probably the 1786 Omagh publican. Same identity conclusion as group 1050075355: no existing profile is preferred, and a new profile draft is recommended.
- [The Northern Star, 1793-05-25, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/72021100/): no longer a candidate for this profile. Northern Star 25 May 1793: a repeat of the Hope advertisement with the sailing put off; contact still Mr. James Glasco, Omagh. Same conclusion as the 11 and 18 May copies.
- [The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1757-04-07, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/39395391/): no longer a candidate for this profile. James Glascow, 'Fogs Manor' (Fagg's Manor, Londonderry Township, Chester County), 1757 Philadelphia letter list. The Chester County tax index shows a James Glascow/Glasgo landholding in Londonderry Township 1739-1740 and taxed in East/West Nottingham 1747-1758, so the addressee is very likely that local man; no WikiTree profile is documented in Chester County. Glasgow-2868 (Cecil County, d. c.1784) is the only regionally compatible profile, still only possible.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

- [The Edinburgh Advertiser, 1789-12-11, p.8](https://www.newspapers.com/image/601822968/): no longer a candidate for this profile. Dec 1789 Mid-Lothian game-certificate list: 'Glasgow, James, Esq; Edinburgh'. Best lead is James Glasgow (Glasgow-1142), St Vincent planter and brother of Robert of Montgreenan, who died in Calder parish near Edinburgh, but this is unproved.

Source findings — 1766 Kildress and Derryloran return citations, 7 October 2026

The 1766 Kildress return naming James Glasgow, Protestant, at Corvanaghan is National Archives of Ireland, Parliamentary Return 667, [IHP/1/667](https://virtualtreasury.ie/item/NAI-IHP-1-667), with a Representative Church Body Library transcript, [MS 23, p. 176](https://by2022-prod.adaptcentre.ie/loris/RCBL_23_176.JPG/full/full/0/default.jpg). Both are assessed in [Glasgow-3137](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3137)'s findings. The return gives no age, wife or children.

The [1766 Derryloran return transcription](https://www.cotyroneireland.com/census/1766derryloran.html) also names James Harkness in Cookstown and Robert Harkness at Oghless. They show the Harkness surname in the same district but identify neither Mary Harkness nor Robert's father.
