About Robert
The profile conflates an older Robert active in 1700-1701 with Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-1143), born about 1710, Kilwaughter, County Antrim, who was still living in 1772. The older Robert must have been born before about 1679 if he was an adult stipend bondsman in May 1700. No reviewed record makes James Glasgow his father or Hugh, James, William and the younger Robert his sons. All four listed child relationships are therefore tree-only and unproved, not merely awaiting citation cleanup.

Original evidence and remaining gaps
NRS Kilwaghter estate targets — 21 September 2026
The National Records of Scotland catalogue identifies exact, Open, On site primary targets: GD154/514 (tenant goods and livestock, c.1653), GD154/515 (rental, c.1653), GD154/525 (rentals, c.1690; two items), GD154/530 (rent-roll/accounts, November 1692; three items), and GD154/532 (rent-roll/accounts, 1693–1708; eight items).
The public catalogue names no Glasgow and supplies no image or tenant transcription. Inspect the originals under Kilwaghter, Kilwaughter, Kilwaugheter, Glasgow, Glascho, Glaskow, and Glassgow. A tenancy may clarify the older South Side/Kilwaughter record groups, but it will not prove Robert’s parentage or children unless it names a relationship or succession.
Later Robert records do not bridge the early family
The manuscript-checked 1738 wife clause and 1741 farmer occurrence concern the later Robert-1143 household. They do not name a father or connect older Robert-1502 to any listed child. The next direct tests remain NRS GD154/514–515, /525, /530 and /532, PRONI T828/15 and MIC1B/6. Catalogue descriptions are targets, not Glasgow proof.
What the research found
These research notes were last revised on 7 October 2026.
Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
There is also a material locality problem with the current reconstruction. The complete 1700-1701 congregational extracts (printed under 1699 and 1700; see the 6 October 2026 re-reading below) consistently assign the older Robert to the South Side, while John Glasgow senior acted for Kilwaughter in 1700 and James Glasgow was appointed Kilwaughter's overseer, probably on 29 May 1701. This does not prove that Robert could not later have lived at Kilwaughter or fathered the four men, but it removes the supposed same-place bridge on which the attachment has largely depended.
The family narrative from which the arrangement appears to derive is explicit
about this weakness: it describes the older Robert only as a candidate father,
says the four similarly aged men may be brothers, and later calls them
presumed brothers. Their ages, congregation and naming patterns define a useful
research cluster, not a proved family.

| Source | Finding | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Classon Porter, "Congregational Memoirs: Larne and Kilwaughter," The Christian Unitarian 2 (1863), pp. 409-414 | Robert Glasgow was stipend bondsman for the South Side on 17 May 1700, was one of four appointed on 26 May 1700 to produce the bonds to the Presbytery, and on 27 February 1700/01 was named for the south side to view land and to serve on the repairs committee. The minutes are printed under 1699 and 1700; the corrected years are explained in the 6 October 2026 re-reading below. | Printed transcription of a manuscript copy of the session record, for an adult Robert in 1700-1701; supports birth before about 1679. |
| Porter, The Christian Unitarian 2-3, complete Glasgow-name audit | On 17 May 1700 John Glasgow, sen. was bondsman for Kilwochter, while Robert Glasgow was bondsman for the South Side. On 27 February 1700/01 John again acted for Kilwochter and Robert for the south side. James was made overseer for Kilwochter at the minute printed May 29, 1700.—Thursday, probably Thursday 29 May 1701. |
The transcript contains no father, son, brother, uncle or heir wording. More importantly, it does not place Robert in the Kilwaughter district occupied by the alleged sons. |
| Porter, The Christian Unitarian 3 (1864) | The later session list includes a Robert Glasgow marked turned out; an entry of 17 May 1747 explains that a former session member Robert refused public satisfaction after an accusation of fornication. |
The session-list Robert and the 1747 Robert are one man. He is probably the younger Robert-1143, on age; no record states it and a third Robert cannot be excluded. See the 6 October 2026 identity assessment below. |
| Archived original Early Glasgows account and its source notes | Says the older Robert is only a candidate to be the father of Robert born about 1710; says the four men may be brothers and later calls them presumed brothers. The notes also say that treating two James occurrences as one person was done for present labeling purposes. |
This is the apparent source of the online pedigree, but its author explicitly presented the relationships as a working reconstruction, not a record-derived conclusion. The fictionalised narrative cannot upgrade those admissions into evidence. |
| Registry of Deeds memorial 63221, 12 March 1736; image-derived transcript held in the project | Hugh and William Glasgow of Larne jointly leased two tenements. The named lives were George II, Frederick Prince of Wales and William Duke of Cumberland. | Direct association only. The memorial gives no kin term and its lives cannot be interpreted as sons or successors. |
| Registry memorial 74015, register image, 13 February 1738/9 | Robert Glasgow leased Ballykeel land from William Agnew of Kilwaughter; the lives include James Glasgow junior and Rachel, formerly Wilson, Robert's wife. | Proves the wife; junior distinguishes James but does not by itself prove that he was Robert's son. The register and later equity case prove that relationship. It does not identify Robert's father. |
| Registry memorial 76724, 17 June 1741 | Robert Glasgow, farmer, of Kilwaughter witnessed a deed. | No relationship is stated. |
| PRONI Name Search, pre-1858 wills index | William Glasgow of Larne appears in the Diocese of Connor section in 1783. The result states that the original document does not exist and no information beyond the index survived. The 1727 James Glasgow of Kilwater entry has the same survival warning. | Neither lost probate can now be used to recover a father, brother, executor or beneficiary. The William entry is not uniquely assignable between the older Larne man and the William born in 1730. |
| Bigger and Hughes, Larne churchyard inscriptions, 1899 | The surviving Glasgow inscription names Hugh, wife Ann, son James and later descendants. | It proves Hugh's household but does not name Hugh's father. |
| NRS GD154/514, 515, 525, 530, and 532 | Precise Kilwaghter tenant-goods/rental/rent-roll targets: c.1653 (514-515), c.1690 (525, two items), Nov. 1692 (530, three items), and 1693-1708 (532, eight items). Each is Open, On site. | Corrects the earlier blanket “off-site/unsearched” description. The online catalogue names no Glasgow and supplies no images or tenant transcription; these are primary targets, not kinship evidence. Search the originals under Kilwaghter, Kilwaughter, Kilwaugheter, Glasgow, Glascho, Glaskow, and Glassgow. |
PRONI eCatalogue, D282/3-10 |
Item-level descriptions were checked for estate transactions spanning 1685-1738. D282/4 assigns the quarterland of Kilwaughter from William Shaw to Patrick Agnew in 1700; D282/5-7 concern Kennedy/Donaldson land; D282/9 is John Moore's Larne lease; D282/10 is William Agnew's 1738 Ballykeel lease to the younger Robert Glasgow. |
None supplies the alleged older-Robert-to-four-sons relationship. D282/10 belongs to the younger Robert's household and cannot be projected backward. The originals may contain detail omitted from the catalogue. |
| Agnew family history, NLS digital copy, pp. 489-491 | The published Lochnaw correspondence describes rent-collection trouble in 1704 and Sir James Agnew's 1708 sale of the Irish estate to Patrick Agnew, but names no Glasgow tenant or family relationship. | Negative search of the relevant published estate narrative; the unpublished GD154/505-534 papers still require inspection. |
| Belfast News-Letter Index, 1737-1800 | All 134 indexed GLASGOW hits and the GLASGO/GLASSGOW variants were reviewed. Local notices identify later Larne/Kilwaughter people and businesses but no father, brother, uncle, probate or estate notice proving these four men as Robert's sons. |
Useful negative search. The index is extensive but is not a substitute for every word of every surviving issue. |
NLI catalogue, Nicholson Papers copies of Connor and Down wills and PRONI T828/15 |
The collection contains an extract of the 1686 will of James Glasgow of Belfast. The catalogue does not expose the beneficiaries or kin. Belfast maritime and burgess records make the testator a plausible match for Captain James Glasgow rather than the Kilwaughter hearth-tax James. | High-value collateral target, not evidence for either family until the extract is read. A brother, nephew, cousin, executor or place could resolve the identity and create a bridge. |
PRONI D2977/3A/4/81/72A-B, 1751/1757/1767 endorsements and 1824 renewal |
The 1736 Hugh-and-William title continued through inserted lives and was eventually renewed to Elizabeth Glasgow, widow of Larne. | A genuine succession chain, but the public descriptions omit the inserted lives and do not identify Elizabeth's husband or descent. The originals could prove a collateral line. |
PRONI eCatalogue, LPC/1037, 5 April 1776 |
A copy will survives for Hugh Shannon of Ballykeel, husband of Ann Glasgow, the documented daughter of the younger Robert Glasgow-1143. | Highest-value surviving collateral probate target. Its clauses are not digitised or transcribed online. A named Glasgow in-law, uncle, cousin, executor, predecessor or co-heir could establish a bridge; the bare catalogue entry cannot. |
IrishGenealogy.ie, St Catherine baptism DU-CI-BA-38743, 23 October 1704 |
Names Hugh Glasroe, son of Wm Glasroe and Jone, with no address or sponsors. Hugh-1503's memorial places his birth between 9 July 1704 and 8 July 1705. | Exact-age alternative-parent candidate. It cannot presently be attached to the Larne man or used as proof against Robert; the original surname and a Dublin-to-Larne bridge must be established first. |
Archived 79-photo Webshots album, uploaded by ggbliss after the 2006 research trip |
The associated Life's Weaving page says the album included photographs of the church records naming Glasgow ancestors. Only the first archived page is recoverable online; the relevant later images were not captured. | A newly resolved evidence-recovery target: seek the original album files from Donna Jean Glasgow/uploader or descendants using the stable album ID and captions, rather than treating the derivative timeline as the only survivor. |
The public volunteer Registry of Deeds index was also checked for every exact Glasgow entry from 1708 to 1800. Its early results reproduce the known Larne and Kilwaughter people but contain no father, brother, uncle or grandfather statement for this group. FamilySearch's full-text handwritten-deed index remains an outstanding search because the volunteer index is incomplete.
The destroyed 1727 will was also sought through searchable references to Betham,
Crossle and Tenison Groves abstracts. The National Library of Ireland's
consolidated Genealogical Office/Betham index contains no Glasgow surname entry,
and no other abstract or copy was located. That closes the Betham route but is not
proof that no private or archival transcript exists. A
separate 29-entry Ancestry collection titled The Glasgow Family of Kilwaugheter
Parish, County Antrim, Northern Ireland and America derives from material at the
Alabama Department of Archives and History; its images need checking for genuinely
contemporary extracts rather than another rendering of the same reconstructed
pedigree.
Batch evidence update — 21 September 2026
The Ballykeel lease of 13 February 1738/9 has now been checked in manuscript: it names Rachel Glasgow otherwise Wilson as Robert's wife and James Glasgow junior, but no father for Robert and no son clause for James. The 1741 Ballyboly lease likewise now confirms Robert Glasgow of Kilwaughter as a farmer and witness, with his proof of execution on 21 April 1743 and registration on 13 June 1743. These records concern the later Robert-1143 household and do not bridge the older Robert-1502 to any listed child. The strongest next originals remain NRS GD154/514–515, /525, /530 and /532, PRONI T828/15, and MIC1B/6.
Source findingsPorter's extracts re-read on the page images — 6 October 2026
Classon Porter's "Congregational Memoirs: Larne and Kilwaughter" was re-read on the page images of volume 2, pp. 410-414 and volume 3, pp. 16-19. Robert Glasgow appears three times, always for the South Side:
- 17 May 1700: "James Callwell and Robert Glasgow for South Side, for £10" among the stipend bondsmen, in the run Porter heads "May 12, 1699 (1700)" (vol. 2 p. 412).
- 26 May 1700: one of four "appointed to produce the bonds" to the Presbytery (vol. 2 p. 413).
- 27 February 1700/01 (printed "Feb. 27, 1700"): named for the south side to view land, and with James Callwell "for south side of the water" on the repairs committee (vol. 3 p. 16).
The years are corrected from the 1699 and 1700 given in earlier notes. Porter himself adds "(1700)" to the heading of the stipend run ("May 12, 1699 (1700)"), and the weekdays written into the minutes fit 1700 and not 1699: 12 May 1700 was a Sunday ("two Sabbaths together, of which this is the first") and the Presbytery of "the 7th of this inst." fell on Tuesday 7 May 1700. The minute printed "Feb. 27, 1700" is 27 February 1700/01 by ordinary Old Style reckoning. The minute printed "May 29, 1700.—Thursday" belongs to the same continuous run: 29 May fell on a Wednesday in 1700 and a Thursday in 1701, and the run's other weekday clues after 25 March (13 April, a Sunday; 17 April, a Thursday) also fit 1701, so it is probably Thursday 29 May 1701. That is an inference from the weekdays; a wrong weekday in the copy cannot be excluded without the original or the 1826 printing.
These extracts are a printed transcription (The Christian Unitarian 2, 1863, and 3, 1864) of a manuscript copy of the 1699-1701 Larne session record, which Porter believed was "made or procured" by Rev. Samuel Eccles for Rev. D. Davison, who printed extracts from it in the Christian Moderator (1826), pp. 207-245. Porter had not found the original and arranged the extracts "not chronologically, but according to subject", so they stand two removes from the minute book. The entries from 1721 onward are Porter's printed transcription of the session book then in his hands; whether that book is now within PRONI MIC/1B/6 is unverified.
Source findingsThe session-list Robert and the minute of 17 May 1747 — re-read on the page images, 6 October 2026
Porter, vol. 3 p. 197: the list of the Larne session from 1721 to 1769 has one Robert Glasgow, "Robert Glasgow (erased), turned out", 21st of the thirty elders and after Capt. Patrick Agnew, who was constituted on 20 June 1721. Porter's footnote ties the note to "a minute of May 17, 1747". Vol. 3 p. 231: "1747, May 17 ... the resolution of Robert Glasgow, who formerly was a member of the Session, and is now guilty of fornication, and refuseth to give public satisfaction, but offereth to do it only before the Session."
Identity and family
Relationship assessment — 6 October 2026
The uncertain attachments of Hugh Glasgow-1499, James Glasgow-1504 and William Glasgow-1505 to this Robert are kept. Each parent link is possible: no record supports or excludes it. Robert appears only for the South Side, while John senior and James act for Kilwochter. No record names the four younger men together or calls any of them brothers.
Identity assessment — the Robert of the session list and of 1747, 6 October 2026The list Robert and the 1747 Robert are one man: the list covers every session member from 1721 to 1769, names one Robert, and Porter links its note to the 1747 minute.
The list Robert and the 1747 Robert are one man: the list covers every session member from 1721 to 1769, names one Robert, and Porter links its note to the 1747 minute. From his place on the list he was probably made an elder between mid-1721 and 1747 (inference from list order).
He is probably Robert Glasgow-1143 (inference; no record states it). Robert Glasgow-1502, an adult bondsman in May 1700, would have been in his late sixties or older in 1747, while Robert-1143, married in 1729, was about forty and is documented at Kilwaughter in 1738/9, 1741 and 1764. A charge of fornication implies that the offender was unmarried when the offence was committed, or that it preceded a marriage. For Robert-1143 that fits only if his wife Rachel had died, which is known only from a derivative transcription of an 1817 pleading ("died in 1742"); it is consistent with the identification, not evidence for it. A third, otherwise unrecorded Robert cannot be excluded, because the session minutes for 1701-1721 are lost.
No record securely attributable to Robert-1502 is known after 27 February 1700/01.
Cluster placement — a competing hypothesis, 6 October 2026This is a hypothesis, not a finding, and no attachment should be moved on it.
This is a hypothesis, not a finding, and no attachment should be moved on it. The records show two groups with no proved link between them:
- a Larne-town group: Hugh Glasgow-1499, William Glasgow-1505 ("William Glasgow Major" in 1734) and perhaps James Glasgow-1504, joined only by the 1736 joint lease and the congregation;
- a Kilwaughter group: Robert Glasgow-1143 and his proved son James.
On locality alone, Robert-1143 fits a Kilwaughter father (the officer James, who died in 1726, or a John) at least as well as Robert of the South Side; locality cannot decide parentage. Every candidate father for each of the four men is possible and none rises higher. The present arrangement, with all four as sons of this Robert, is inherited from the Life's Weaving reconstruction, which itself called them "presumed brothers". A Dublin baptism of Hugh "Glasroe", son of "Wm Glasroe" and Jone, on 23 October 1704, is compatible in date with Hugh-1499 but has a different surname spelling and no bridge to Larne.

| Listed child | What is actually proved | Upward result |
|---|---|---|
| Hugh Glasgow (Glasgow-1503) | St Cedma's inscription proves Hugh's wife Ann and their son James; the congregation register identifies several other children. A 1736 deed places Hugh and William jointly in Larne tenements. | No Larne record names Hugh's father. An exact-age Dublin baptism instead names Hugh Glasroe, son of Wm Glasroe and Jone; this is a serious alternative candidate but lacks a surname/identity and Dublin-to-Larne bridge. |
| James Glasgow (Glasgow-1504) | The congregation-register chronology proves the household of James, Sarah Murray and four children. | None of the exposed marriage or child entries names James's father, a grandparent or an uncle. |
| William Glasgow (Glasgow-1505) | Congregational accounts and the 1736 Larne property records prove a distinct older William. A 1783 Connor probate index names a William of Larne, but a younger adult namesake also existed. | No record calls him Robert's son or Hugh's brother. The lost 1783 probate cannot resolve either William's identity or supply omitted kin. |
| Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-1143) | Memorial 74015 proves wife Rachel Wilson and names James Glasgow junior; the register and later sworn equity evidence independently prove James as Robert's son and establish Rachel's Wilson kin. | The deed does not name Robert's father. The later equity case reaches Robert's wife Rachel as a grandmother but never identifies Robert's parents or siblings. |
The proof search is not limited to records explicitly saying son of Robert.
Wills naming siblings, nephews or cousins; guardianships; inheritance and tenancy
succession; and a uniquely closed chain through spouses or collateral relatives
would also prove an upward link. No reviewed record of the four men, their known
children, spouses or collateral associates presently supplies such a chain. Their
joint leases, congregation membership and petition signatures prove association,
but do not uniquely determine kinship.
Focused FamilySearch full-text result - 20 August 2026
The new full-text deed material strengthens the chronology of William Glasgow (Glasgow-1505), but supplies no parent-child statement linking him to this Robert. The 1736 joint lease of William and Hugh Glasgow names only the two lessees and uses royal measuring lives, not relatives. Their placement as Robert's sons therefore remains an unproved tree reconstruction.
Birth-estimate audit - 21 August 2026
The live structured birth was corrected to about 1675, uncertain. The records then dated 1699-1700 (re-dated to 1700-1701 on 6 October 2026; see below) identify Robert as an adult actor but supply no birth year. The earlier before value remains only a strict chronological boundary, not the most useful estimated birth. No biography, relationship, source or other structured field was changed in this audit.

Recommended correction — vital dates, 6 October 2026
Birth: before about 1679 (a boundary, not an estimate of the year): he was an adult stipend bondsman in May 1700. The present "about 1675" should be worded as that boundary.

Current conclusion
The profile conflates an older Robert active in 1700-1701 with [Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-1143), born about 1710, Kilwaughter, County Antrim](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1143), who was still living in 1772. The older Robert must have been born before about 1679 if he was an adult stipend bondsman in May 1700. No reviewed record makes James Glasgow his father or Hugh, James, William and the younger Robert his sons. All four listed child relationships are therefore **tree-only and unproved**, not merely awaiting citation cleanup. There is also a material locality problem with the current reconstruction. The complete 1700-1701 congregational extracts (printed under 1699 and 1700; see the 6 October 2026 re-reading below) consistently assign the older Robert to the **South Side**, while **John Glasgow senior** acted for Kilwaughter in 1700 and **James Glasgow** was appointed Kilwaughter's overseer, probably on 29 May 1701. This does not prove that Robert could not later have lived at Kilwaughter or fathered the four men, but it removes the supposed same-place bridge on which the attachment has largely depended. The family narrative from which the arrangement appears to derive is explicit about this weakness: it describes the older Robert only as a `candidate` father, says the four similarly aged men `may be brothers`, and later calls them `presumed brothers`. Their ages, congregation and naming patterns define a useful research cluster, not a proved family.
Listed-child audit
| Listed child | What is actually proved | Upward result | | --- | --- | --- | | [Hugh Glasgow (Glasgow-1503)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1503) | St Cedma's inscription proves Hugh's wife Ann and their son James; the congregation register identifies several other children. A 1736 deed places Hugh and William jointly in Larne tenements. | No Larne record names Hugh's father. An exact-age Dublin baptism instead names Hugh **Glasroe**, son of **Wm Glasroe** and Jone; this is a serious alternative candidate but lacks a surname/identity and Dublin-to-Larne bridge. | | [James Glasgow (Glasgow-1504)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1504) | The congregation-register chronology proves the household of James, Sarah Murray and four children. | None of the exposed marriage or child entries names James's father, a grandparent or an uncle. | | [William Glasgow (Glasgow-1505)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1505) | Congregational accounts and the 1736 Larne property records prove a distinct older William. A 1783 Connor probate index names a William of Larne, but a younger adult namesake also existed. | No record calls him Robert's son or Hugh's brother. The lost 1783 probate cannot resolve either William's identity or supply omitted kin. | | [Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-1143)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1143) | Memorial 74015 proves wife Rachel Wilson and names James Glasgow junior; the register and later sworn equity evidence independently prove James as Robert's son and establish Rachel's Wilson kin. | The deed does not name Robert's father. The later equity case reaches Robert's wife Rachel as a grandmother but never identifies Robert's parents or siblings. | The proof search is not limited to records explicitly saying `son of Robert`. Wills naming siblings, nephews or cousins; guardianships; inheritance and tenancy succession; and a uniquely closed chain through spouses or collateral relatives would also prove an upward link. No reviewed record of the four men, their known children, spouses or collateral associates presently supplies such a chain. Their joint leases, congregation membership and petition signatures prove association, but do not uniquely determine kinship.

Its early results reproduce the known Larne and Kilwaughter people but contain no father, brother, uncle or grandfather statement for this group. FamilySearch's full-text handwritten-deed index remains an outstanding search because the volunteer index is incomplete. The destroyed 1727 will was also sought through searchable references to Betham, Crossle and Tenison Groves abstracts. The National Library of Ireland's consolidated Genealogical Office/Betham index contains no `Glasgow` surname entry, and no other abstract or copy was located. That closes the Betham route but is not proof that no private or archival transcript exists. A separate 29-entry Ancestry collection titled *The Glasgow Family of Kilwaugheter Parish, County Antrim, Northern Ireland and America* derives from material at the Alabama Department of Archives and History; its images need checking for genuinely contemporary extracts rather than another rendering of the same reconstructed pedigree.
Best next proof targets
1. **NRS `GD154/514-515`, `525`, `530`, and `532`, Irish estate (Kilwaghter/Kilwaughter).** Consult the open, on-site originals: tenant goods and rental c.1653; rentals c.1690; rent-roll/accounts Nov. 1692; and rent-roll/accounts 1693-1708. Search `Kilwaghter`, `Kilwaughter` and `Kilwaugheter`, and Glasgow spelling variants, for Robert of the South Side, John senior and James of Kilwaughter, with a named son, heir, household or tenancy successor. Do not search only under Robert: the district evidence means John or James may be equally important household heads. 2. **PRONI `MIC/1B/6`, original Larne/Kilwaughter session books, 1721-1748.** Read the full minutes, admissions, discipline and accounts rather than only the baptism/marriage chronology. A phrase such as `Hugh, son of Robert Glasgow` would be direct evidence; merely appearing in the same congregation would not. 3. **PRONI Larne title chain:** `D300/2/1/100/3A-B`, `D2977/3A/4/81/72A-B`, the 1751/1767 endorsements and 1824 renewal. These may establish succession between Hugh and William's descendants, although the 1736 memorial itself does not reach Robert-1502. 4. **FamilySearch Registry of Deeds full-text search.** Search unindexed memorials before 1750 for Glasgow plus Larne, Kilwaughter, Newtown and Agnew, then inspect originals for kin terms rather than treating co-occurrence as kinship. 5. **Alabama Department of Archives and History family-history manuscript.** Inspect the 29-page item catalogued by Ancestry as *The Glasgow Family of Kilwaugheter Parish...*, recording the provenance of every pre-1750 statement. A later pedigree is not proof, but a reproduced family Bible, letter, will abstract or researcher transcript could preserve evidence now missing in Ireland. 6. **PRONI `LPC/1037`, Hugh Shannon of Ballykeel, copy will dated 5 April 1776.** Obtain the full copy and record all beneficiaries, executors, witnesses, residences and property clauses. Hugh's marriage to Ann Glasgow makes this a valid collateral route, but only explicit relational or uniquely closed inheritance language can establish the older generation.
Focused FamilySearch full-text result - 20 August 2026
The new full-text deed material strengthens the chronology of William Glasgow (Glasgow-1505), but supplies no parent-child statement linking him to this Robert. The 1736 joint lease of William and Hugh Glasgow names only the two lessees and uses royal measuring lives, not relatives. Their placement as Robert's sons therefore remains an unproved tree reconstruction.
Birth-estimate audit - 21 August 2026
The live structured birth was corrected to **about 1675, uncertain**. The records then dated 1699-1700 (re-dated to 1700-1701 on 6 October 2026; see below) identify Robert as an adult actor but supply no birth year. The earlier `before` value remains only a strict chronological boundary, not the most useful estimated birth. No biography, relationship, source or other structured field was changed in this audit.
Batch evidence update — 21 September 2026
The Ballykeel lease of 13 February 1738/9 has now been checked in manuscript: it names Rachel Glasgow otherwise Wilson as Robert's wife and James Glasgow junior, but no father for Robert and no son clause for James. The 1741 Ballyboly lease likewise now confirms Robert Glasgow of Kilwaughter as a farmer and witness, with his proof of execution on 21 April 1743 and registration on 13 June 1743. These records concern the later Robert-1143 household and do not bridge the older Robert-1502 to any listed child. The strongest next originals remain NRS GD154/514–515, /525, /530 and /532, PRONI T828/15, and MIC1B/6.

### Porter's extracts re-read on the page images — 6 October 2026
Classon Porter's "Congregational Memoirs: Larne and Kilwaughter" was re-read on the page images of [volume 2, pp. 410-414](https://archive.org/details/christianunitari0002unse/page/411/mode/1up) and [volume 3, pp. 16-19](https://archive.org/details/christianunitari0003unse/page/16/mode/1up). Robert Glasgow appears three times, always for the South Side:
- **17 May 1700:** "James Callwell and Robert Glasgow for South Side, for £10" among the stipend bondsmen, in the run Porter heads "May 12, 1699 (1700)" (vol. 2 p. 412).
- **26 May 1700:** one of four "appointed to produce the bonds" to the Presbytery (vol. 2 p. 413).
- **27 February 1700/01** (printed "Feb. 27, 1700"): named for the south side to view land, and with James Callwell "for south side of the water" on the repairs committee (vol. 3 p. 16).
The years are corrected from the 1699 and 1700 given in earlier notes. Porter himself adds "(1700)" to the heading of the stipend run ("May 12, 1699 (1700)"), and the weekdays written into the minutes fit 1700 and not 1699: 12 May 1700 was a Sunday ("two Sabbaths together, of which this is the first") and the Presbytery of "the 7th of this inst." fell on Tuesday 7 May 1700. The minute printed "Feb. 27, 1700" is 27 February 1700/01 by ordinary Old Style reckoning. The minute printed "May 29, 1700.—Thursday" belongs to the same continuous run: 29 May fell on a Wednesday in 1700 and a Thursday in 1701, and the run's other weekday clues after 25 March (13 April, a Sunday; 17 April, a Thursday) also fit 1701, so it is **probably Thursday 29 May 1701**. That is an inference from the weekdays; a wrong weekday in the copy cannot be excluded without the original or the 1826 printing.
These extracts are a printed transcription (*The Christian Unitarian* 2, 1863, and 3, 1864) of a manuscript copy of the 1699-1701 Larne session record, which Porter believed was "made or procured" by Rev. Samuel Eccles for Rev. D. Davison, who printed extracts from it in the *Christian Moderator* (1826), pp. 207-245. Porter had not found the original and arranged the extracts "not chronologically, but according to subject", so they stand two removes from the minute book. The entries from 1721 onward are Porter's printed transcription of the session book then in his hands; whether that book is now within PRONI MIC/1B/6 is unverified.Relationship assessment — 6 October 2026
The uncertain attachments of Hugh Glasgow-1499, James Glasgow-1504 and William Glasgow-1505 to this Robert are kept. Each parent link is possible: no record supports or excludes it. Robert appears only for the South Side, while John senior and James act for Kilwochter. No record names the four younger men together or calls any of them brothers.

### The session-list Robert and the minute of 17 May 1747 — re-read on the page images, 6 October 2026 [Porter, vol. 3 p. 197](https://archive.org/details/christianunitari0003unse/page/197/mode/1up): the list of the Larne session from 1721 to 1769 has one Robert Glasgow, "Robert Glasgow (erased), turned out", 21st of the thirty elders and after Capt. Patrick Agnew, who was constituted on 20 June 1721. Porter's footnote ties the note to "a minute of May 17, 1747". [Vol. 3 p. 231](https://archive.org/details/christianunitari0003unse/page/231/mode/1up): "1747, May 17 ... the resolution of Robert Glasgow, who formerly was a member of the Session, and is now guilty of fornication, and refuseth to give public satisfaction, but offereth to do it only before the Session."
Identity assessment — the Robert of the session list and of 1747, 6 October 2026
The list Robert and the 1747 Robert are one man: the list covers every session member from 1721 to 1769, names one Robert, and Porter links its note to the 1747 minute. From his place on the list he was probably made an elder between mid-1721 and 1747 (inference from list order).
He is **probably Robert Glasgow-1143** (inference; no record states it). Robert Glasgow-1502, an adult bondsman in May 1700, would have been in his late sixties or older in 1747, while Robert-1143, married in 1729, was about forty and is documented at Kilwaughter in 1738/9, 1741 and 1764. A charge of fornication implies that the offender was unmarried when the offence was committed, or that it preceded a marriage. For Robert-1143 that fits only if his wife Rachel had died, which is known only from a derivative transcription of an 1817 pleading ("died in 1742"); it is consistent with the identification, not evidence for it. A third, otherwise unrecorded Robert cannot be excluded, because the session minutes for 1701-1721 are lost.
No record securely attributable to Robert-1502 is known after 27 February 1700/01.Cluster placement — a competing hypothesis, 6 October 2026
This is a hypothesis, not a finding, and no attachment should be moved on it. The records show two groups with no proved link between them:
- a **Larne-town group**: Hugh Glasgow-1499, William Glasgow-1505 ("William Glasgow Major" in 1734) and perhaps James Glasgow-1504, joined only by the 1736 joint lease and the congregation;
- a **Kilwaughter group**: Robert Glasgow-1143 and his proved son James.
On locality alone, Robert-1143 fits a Kilwaughter father (the officer James, who died in 1726, or a John) at least as well as Robert of the South Side; locality cannot decide parentage. Every candidate father for each of the four men is possible and none rises higher. The present arrangement, with all four as sons of this Robert, is inherited from the Life's Weaving reconstruction, which itself called them "presumed brothers". A Dublin baptism of Hugh "Glasroe", son of "Wm Glasroe" and Jone, on 23 October 1704, is compatible in date with Hugh-1499 but has a different surname spelling and no bridge to Larne.Recommended correction — vital dates, 6 October 2026
**Birth: before about 1679** (a boundary, not an estimate of the year): he was an adult stipend bondsman in May 1700. The present "about 1675" should be worded as that boundary. These are proposals for the WikiTree date fields and are queued for review; nothing has been changed on WikiTree.
