About Ann
Ann was born 15 November 1733 to Robert Glasgow and Rachel Wilson according to the congregation-register chronology. She was sister of James Glasgow-1144 and wife of Hugh Shannon. The 1817 complaint says Ann predeceased Archibald Wilson, but Robert Glasgow-1983's sworn answer expressly corrects this and says she survived Archibald. The sworn answer is preferable for that chronology.
