How parent leads are calculated
Automated leads use birth surnames—not married surnames—as parental eligibility, role-specific biological age limits, bounded and approximate-date uncertainty, household chronology, specific time-aware localities, mapped distance, tenancy succession, migration destinations and sex-aware Scottish naming positions across generations. 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.
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.

Latest case researchThe current conclusion from the durable research case file.Updated
Current conclusion
Robert married Rachel Wilson in November 1729 according to a derivative congregation-register chronology. The same chronology directly records him and Rachel as parents of James (24 May 1731), Ann (15 November 1733) and Rachel (8 November 1738). Deed memorial 74015 and the 1817 equity case independently corroborate the wife and the two surviving older children.
The equity evidence is unusually valuable because it comes from Robert's grandson Robert Glasgow-1983. In sworn answers he calls Rachel his paternal grandmother, Ann Glasgow his father's sister, and himself Rachel's eldest male heir through her son James. It therefore supplies the collateral language normally missing from the congregation register.
The same litigation reconstructs Rachel's Wilson family. Rachel was one of six sisters of Archibald Wilson: Jane, Margaret, Rachel, Anne, Elizabeth and Susanna. Ann Glasgow married Hugh Shannon. James Glasgow married Mary, daughter of another Wilson sister, making James and Mary first cousins if the pleaded relationships are accurate. Neither the pleadings nor James's will calls Mary a Crozier or Crosier.
No inspected record identifies Robert's father. His current placement under Glasgow-1502 is therefore unproved.

| FamilyTreeDNA Glasgow project, public results reviewed 9 August 2026 | Kit 254947, submitted for Robert c.1710 Northern Ireland, is STR-grouped in the working FT25406 subgroup and marked upgrade to Big-Y required; B835762, submitted for James 1731, is in the same working subgroup. | Provisional genetic support for this father-son line's wider paternal cluster. It does not confirm FT25406/FT20271 or identify Robert's father. |
| Robert's amended sworn answer, 18 June 1818 | Says Archibald Wilson's real estate descended through six sisters and identifies Robert as the eldest male heir of one sister, “Rachel his paternal grandmother.” | Direct grandparent and collateral-line statement in a derivative transcription. It also makes Archibald Rachel's brother and thus James's maternal uncle. |
| Irish administrator's letter, 1 October 1817 | Discusses Robert's brother and sisters, Archibald's six sisters, and inheritance through Rachel's line. | Contemporary family/estate explanation preserved as a derivative transcription; inspect the original letter. |
| James Glasgow's 1775 will | Names wife Mary and children Robert, John, Archibald, Wilson, Margaret and Rachel. | Independently corroborates the South Carolina household in the later litigation, but names neither James's parents nor Mary's birth surname. |
| Classon Porter, 17 May 1747 session transcription | Robert Glasgow, formerly a session member, was accused of fornication and refused public satisfaction. | Real disciplinary record, but it names no woman or child. It supplies no evidence that John-1022 was Robert's son; same-name ambiguity with an older Robert remains. |
Archived 1772 petition notes, citing PRONI T808/15082 | Petition dated 1 April 1772 lists Robert, James and Hugh Shannon consecutively under Kilwaughter; John Glasgow appears under Larne. | Strong family/FAN grouping and latest persuasive occurrence for Robert. The 7 April date is newspaper publication, not petition date; the petition states no kinship. |
Evidence assessmentWhat is supported, uncertain or disputed in the current case model.13 claims
Documented or strongly supported
Robert Glasgow was recorded in Kilwaughter (c.1710–after 1772).
Kilwaughter family
Robert Glasgow was recorded in Ballykeel — Kilwaughter (13 Feb 1738).
Registry of Deeds memorial 74015
Robert Glasgow was recorded in Ballyboley — Larne parish (17 Jun 1741).
Witness to Registry memorial 76724
Robert Glasgow was husband of Rachel Wilson
Registry memorial 74015, dated 13 February 1738, names Rachel, formerly Wilson, as Robert Glasgow's wife and a named life in his Ballykeel lease.
James Glasgow was son of Robert Glasgow
The Kilwaughter chronology, transcribing the surviving congregation register, records James born 24 May 1731 to Robert and Rachel Glasgow. Deed memorial 74015 and the later equity case independently fit the same household.
Ann Taggard Glasgow was daughter of Robert Glasgow
The Kilwaughter chronology records Ann born 15 November 1733 to Robert and Rachel. The 1817 equity complaint independently calls her Rachel's daughter.
Rachel Glasgow was daughter of Robert Glasgow
The Kilwaughter chronology records Rachel born 8 November 1738 to Robert and Rachel. The 1817 complaint says the mother died in 1742 leaving only James and Ann, implying this younger Rachel died before then unless the pleading omitted her for another legal reason.
Glasgow-1143 was husband of Wilson-78088 and father of Glasgow-1144, Glasgow-1500 and Glasgow-1501.
The congregation-register chronology names Robert and Rachel as parents of all three children. Memorial 74015 names Rachel as Robert's wife, and the equity case independently identifies James and Ann as Rachel's surviving children.
Working hypotheses and conflicts
No claims in this category have been formally assessed.
Case-file assessments
Relationship actions
- James-1144: directly Rachel's son and strongly supported as Robert's son
by the reported 1731 baptism and the 1738 three-life lease.
- Ann-1500: directly Rachel's daughter and Hugh Shannon's wife; strongly
supported as Robert's daughter by the reported 1733 baptism.
- Rachel-1501: possible child from the reported 1738 register entry; likely
died before 1742 or without relevant issue if both sources are accurate.
- John-1022: no record names Robert as father. The 1747 discipline case
cannot support the link, and the 1772 petition separates John under Larne from the Kilwaughter Robert-James-Shannon group.
- Unknown-3905: erroneous attachment. It is an unidentified Inishrush
parent-generation placeholder, not Robert's documented child; detach it.
- Robert-1502 and proposed siblings Hugh-1503, James-1504 and William-1505:
no located record establishes these relationships.
Research questionsOpen problems, missing bridges and the next records to inspect.2 open
Who were Robert Glasgow-1143's parents?
No inspected record identifies Robert's father; the Glasgow-1502 edge remains tree-only.
Missing bridge: A contemporary record explicitly identifying the parent or parents.
Which spouse and children are directly supported?
Rachel is strongly supported as spouse. The derivative register directly names Robert and Rachel as parents of James, Ann and the younger Rachel; PRONI MIC/1B/6 still needs inspection.
Missing bridge: Rachel is strongly supported as spouse. The derivative register directly names Robert and Rachel as parents of James, Ann and the younger Rachel; PRONI MIC/1B/6 still needs inspection.
Next records to inspect

* '''1739''' – Ship Abigail of Belfast, John Glasgow, arrived from Gottenburg with a load of iron. (Port-News article in Belfast News Letter)
* '''1740''' – Year of the great frost. On the last day of 1739, Ireland awoke to find itself in the grip of what was in effect a mini ice age. In its wake came an almost Biblical ordeal by drought, flood, fire, famine and plague, that has few parallels in the recorded history of the island.(2) As a result of the frost and a prolonged drought that followed it, famine struck Ireland and caused yet another wave of emigration to the American colonies.
* '''1741''' – Hugh Glasgow made elder of the Larne/Kilwaughter Presbyterian Church.
* '''1741''' - Registry of Deeds Office Dublin Volumn 109 page 476 No 76724.
* '''1742''' – Rachel Wilson Glasgow, wife of Robert Glasgow, died. The cause of her death at her young age (probably about 30) is unknown. The most common cause of death for a woman her age was childbirth; but too, the years of 1741, 1742 were years of drought, death and sickness all over Ireland.

* '''1744''' – Robert Glasgow became church treasurer of Larne/Kilwaughter Presbyterian Church.

* '''1772''' – April 7, 1772 – Citizens of the Parishes of Larne, Kilwaughter and Ralloo sign a petition stating their abhorrence against the crimes perpetrated by the "Hearts of Steel"” Signed by William Glasgow, James Glasgow, James Finley, John Glasgow, and a second James Glasgow, all of the Parish of Larne; and from the Parish of Kilwaughter, Robert Glasgow, James Glasgow, and Hugh Shannon, all three names appearing in succession. [Note: The fact that Robert Glasgow, James Glasgow and Hugh Shannon signed this petition in Kilwaughter Parish, with the same document establishing two other James Glasgows from Larne, convinces me that this is our ancestor, Robert Glasgow, still living in 1772, together with his son, James and his son-in-law Hugh Shannon. By this evidence, I accept that James Glasgow did not emigrate to South Carolina until AFTER April of 1772. The ideal time for departure was after farmers had had a chance to harvest their crops in the fall. Also, is James Finley the same James Finley who witnessed James Glasgow's will in South Carolina?].
* '''1772''' or 1773 – (Probably late in the year 1772 after crops were in) James Glasgow and his wife, Mary Crozier* Glasgow (James being the son of Robert Glasgow and Rachel Willson), immigrated to Craven County, South Carolina in North America. The earliest documented date for James Glasgow in South Carolina is 16 November 1774 when he witnessed a land transaction—see 1774 below).
* '''Robert Glasgow2''' (b. ca 1710, estimated based on date of marriage to Rachel Willson in 1729)
=== Parish of Kilwaughter: ===
* '''Robert2 Glasgow'''
* '''James3 Glasgow''' (son of Robert)
* '''Hugh Shannon''' (son-in-law of Robert)
'''Note:''' At the time of the signing of the petition James1 Glasgow is deceased and James5 Glasgow is not yet born. From this petition, it's concluded that our direct Glasgow ancestor, Robert Glasgow of Kilwaughter Parish, was still alive in 1772, and that his son James Glasgow had not yet emigrated to South Carolina as of April, 1772.
