Donaghcavey contains Fintona, the later name\nused for his Golen congregation. The rare forename, matching locality and\nthree-year interval make delayed probate much more likely than a second man.\n\nNo inspected record proves that Nathaniel was a son or grandson of Archibald\nGlasgow of Ramelton or Thomas Glasgow of Lifford. His `Scoto-Hibernus`\nuniversity description also does not prove birth in Glasgow city.\n\nThe original Synod sequence materially corrects his early ministry. Monaghan\nPresbytery had entered him on first trials by 1715; by 1718 he was on second\ntrials under **Augher Presbytery**, intended for America. Augher ordained him on\nor about **3 February 1718/19** for that purpose. A June 1722 minute says he had\nnever yet held charge of a congregation, directly weakening the later claim\nthat he was installed at Ballyjamesduff in 1721.

People already attached as the subject's parents stay in the identity summary and are excluded from this alternative-candidate list, regardless of relationship confidence. The main calibration uses clues available on disconnected profiles; existing parent and sibling links are retained as comparison context rather than treated as transferable evidence. Common ordered names and grandparent-to-child echoes receive a small non-zero weight, so a John or James match can support several independent criteria without producing a lead alone. Rare names, repeated bearers and bundles across otherwise distinct branches receive substantially more weight according to catalogue frequency. An exact migration place is weighted by its rarity and repetition across both branches; a shared destination country is worth only one point. Extra weight is added only when at least three independent clue types converge: naming, locality, specific migration, household chronology or collateral networks. Sparse profiles retain a clearly labelled chronology-only fallback instead of disappearing. Countries, states, counties and research clusters do not count as a shared locality, and fallback, broad representative or kin-inferred coordinates are excluded from distance scoring. Shared descendant profiles are removed before branch-name comparison. A candidate already recorded as a parent-in-law is excluded. A confident or independently supported parent is treated as settled; uncertain and unassessed attachments remain open to alternative comparison. A different linked parent, an uncle/aunt or grandparent path, and a matching existing child profile prevent an alternative from being classified as a strong direct-parent lead until the underlying tree conflict or duplicate is resolved. Familiar forms such as Bessie are normalised. Surname remains an eligibility filter worth zero points.","warning":"Naming customs, shared farms and occupations are circumstantial. Children, spouses and collateral relatives may be missing, and tree-derived family networks are not independent evidence. Scores rank research leads; they do not prove parentage."}}
