About Ezekiel
Ezekiel's own Find a Grave memorial 157440876 matches his name and structured vitals and states that he was the first pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Beaver. His profile instead cites memorial 85298095, which is for his father Samuel. Replace the subject link while retaining the father's memorial number as a rejected-source audit note.

Postal and certificate originals, 5 October 2026
Ezekiel Glasgow, Charlestown postal addressee, 1775: Birth 1785, Pennsylvania, uncertain; death 23 Apr 1814, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, exact. The profile's uncertain birth year is after the 1775 entry and is a substantial chronological mismatch, but not a hard exclusion from an uncertain date alone. No South Carolina connection was found. No South Carolina identity bridge was found. Three catalogue namesakes are weak comparisons; an uncertain post-1775 birth is a substantial mismatch, not a proved exclusion. Co-listed James is not an evidenced father or relative. No relationship change follows.

| Find a Grave memorial 157440876, checked 28 August 2026 | Rev. Ezekiel Glasgow, born 1785, died 23 April 1814, buried at Beaver Cemetery and Mausoleum; narrative calls him first pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Beaver. | Subject-specific derivative memorial; supports the present burial and biography lead, subject to inspection of church/cemetery records. |

Source findings
James Glasgow and Ezekiel Glasgow appear in the list of letters remaining in Charlestown’s General Post Office, dated 21 August 1775. Alphabetical entries printed surname first: Glasgow James, followed by a small 2 marker, and Glasgow Ezekiel. The marker is not read as an age. Letter-list appearance alone proves no kinship, occupation, continuous residence or identity with later James records. The South-Carolina and American General Gazette, 1775-08-25, p.1
Identity and family
Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026
- The South-Carolina and American General Gazette, 1775-08-25, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. James Glasgow and Ezekiel Glasgow in the Charlestown, South Carolina, General Post Office letter list of 21 August 1775. James is possibly the Ayr-born James of Newberry District (Glasgow-804, arrived South Carolina 1769); the Kilwaughter James (Glasgow-1144), reported to have emigrated in late 1772 or 1773 and recorded in South Carolina on 16 November 1774 (derivative chronology), is equally compatible. Nothing links either man to the letter list, so the entry is unassigned. (Corrected 6 October 2026: an earlier note wrongly said his children were still being born in County Antrim to 1775.) No WikiTree Ezekiel fits.
