Hugh Glasgow R.E

Biography
Hugh Glasgow was probably born about 1705. This estimate is reportedly based on an inscription on a Glasgow family gravestone in St Cedma's churchyard, Larne. Chronology of the Glasgow Family in Northern Ireland in Historical Context. 
Residence and property in Larne
On 12 March 1736, Hugh Glasgow and William Glasgow, both described as being of Larne, County Antrim, received a lease from Alexander, Earl of Antrim. Registry of Deeds, Dublin, memorial no. 63221: lease dated 12 March 1736 from Alexander, Earl of Antrim, to William Glasgow and Hugh Glasgow of Larne; registered 22 April 1738. Digital image held by the profile manager. 

The lease covered two tenements in the Newtown of Larne, situated on the north side of the street. One had a street frontage of no more than 65 feet and the other had a frontage of 32 feet. Both extended backwards for 150 feet from their front walls. 

The annual rent was £1 15 shillings, together with a receiver's fee of two pence per pound. The lease was granted for the lives of King George II; Frederick, Prince of Wales; and Prince William, Duke of Cumberland, and the survivors of them. It also contained a provision permitting replacement lives to be added, allowing the lease to be renewed. 

The lease was witnessed by James Stephenson of Larne, William Morrison and Alexander Stewart of Ballygally. The memorial was signed and sealed by William and Hugh Glasgow and witnessed by James Stephenson and Robert Wilson, a merchant in Larne. 

No relationship between William and Hugh is stated in the memorial.
Church
A family chronology states that Hugh Glasgow became an elder of the Larne and Kilwaughter Presbyterian congregation in 1741. Chronology of the Glasgow Family in Northern Ireland in Historical Context. 

A nineteenth-century account quoting the Larne Session Book includes Hugh Glasgow among the members of the Session and records that he died on 8 July 1767. “Congregational Memoirs—Larne and Kilwaughter,” (https://archive.org/stream/christianunitari0003unse/christianunitari0003unse_djvu.txt) The Christian Unitarian, vol. 3 (1864), p. 197. The account quotes the Larne Session Book entry: “Hugh Glasgow … dead July 8, 1767.” 

Hugh therefore died on 8 July 1767, provided that the elder named in the Session Book was the same Hugh Glasgow who held the 1736 Larne lease. 
Research NotesPossible duplicate
This profile may represent the same person as Hugh Glasgow (abt.1706-abt.1760). A merger should not be completed until the conflicting death information and the other relationships attached to the two profiles have been examined. The Larne Session Book supports a death date of 8 July 1767 rather than about 1760. 
Possible Dublin baptism
A Hugh Glascoe was baptised in Dublin in 1704, the son of William Glascoe and Jone. FamilySearch record for Hugh Glascoe (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FR3H-8L7). 

No evidence currently establishes that the child baptised in Dublin was the later Hugh Glasgow of Larne. The similar name and approximate date are not enough by themselves to identify them as the same person.
1740 Protestant householder
A Hugh Glasgow appears in the 1740 list of Protestant householders for Tamlaght O'Crilly Parish. Virtual Treasury of Ireland, PRONI T808/15258, Names of Protestant Householders, 1740 (https://www.virtualtreasury.ie/item/PRONI-T808-15258). 

The identification is uncertain. The 1736 lease places Hugh Glasgow in Larne, and the church evidence also associates a man of that name with Larne. The Tamlaght O'Crilly entry should therefore remain a possible identification, not a confirmed event in his life.
