Antrim](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1143),\nwho was still living in 1772. The older Robert must have been born before about\n1678 if he was an adult congregational representative in 1699. No reviewed\nrecord makes James Glasgow his father or Hugh, James, William and the younger\nRobert his sons. All four listed child relationships are therefore\n**tree-only and unproved**, not merely awaiting citation cleanup.\n\nThere is also a material locality problem with the current reconstruction.\nThe complete 1699-1700 congregational extracts consistently assign the older\nRobert to the **South Side**, while **John Glasgow senior** represented\nKilwaughter in 1699-1700 and **James Glasgow** was appointed Kilwaughter's\noverseer in May 1700. This does not prove that Robert could not later have lived\nat Kilwaughter or fathered the four men, but it removes the supposed same-place\nbridge on which the attachment has largely depended.\n\nThe family narrative from which the arrangement appears to derive is explicit\nabout this weakness: it describes the older Robert only as a `candidate` father,\nsays the four similarly aged men `may be brothers`, and later calls them\n`presumed brothers`. Their ages, congregation and naming patterns define a useful\nresearch cluster, not a proved family."},{"title":"Source findings","category":"sources","markdown":"| Source | Finding | Assessment |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| [Classon Porter, \"Congregational Memoirs: Larne and Kilwaughter,\" *The Christian Unitarian* 2 (1863), pp. 409-414](https://archive.org/details/christianunitari0002unse) | Robert Glasgow acted as stipend bondsman in 1699, was appointed to take the bonds to Presbytery, and took part in land and meeting-house work in 1700. | Direct published transcript for an adult Robert in 1699-1700; supports birth before about 1678. |\n| [Porter, *The Christian Unitarian* 2-3](https://archive.org/details/christianunitari0003unse), complete Glasgow-name audit | On 17 May 1699 `John Glasgow, sen.` represented Kilwaughter, while `Robert Glasgow` represented South Side. On 27 February 1700 John again represented Kilwaughter and Robert the south side; on 29 May 1700 James was made Kilwaughter overseer. | 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. |\n| [Porter, *The Christian Unitarian* 3 (1864)](https://archive.org/details/christianunitari0003unse) | 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 1747 man could be the older actor or the younger Robert who married in 1729. The record does not resolve identity. |\n| [Archived original Early Glasgows account](https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184247/http://lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Kilwaughter/TheirStory2.html) and [its source notes](https://web.archive.org/web/20101101160236id_/http://lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Kilwaughter/sources.html) | 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. |\n| 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. |\n| [Registry memorial 74015](https://www.irishdeedsindex.net/mem.php?memorial=74015), 13 February 1738 | Robert Glasgow of Kilwaughter leased Ballykeel land; 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. |\n| [Registry memorial 76724](https://www.irishdeedsindex.net/mem.php?memorial=76724), 17 June 1741 | Robert Glasgow, farmer, of Kilwaughter witnessed a deed. | No relationship is stated. |\n| [PRONI Name Search](https://apps.proni.gov.uk/ProniNames_IE/SearchPage.aspx), 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. |\n| [Bigger and Hughes, Larne churchyard inscriptions](https://archive.org/details/ulsterjournalofa06ulstiala), 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. |\n| [NRS GD154, Papers of the Agnew Family of Lochnaw](https://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/details.aspx?di=y&k=Agnew+Estate&ko=a&reference=GD154&ro=s&st=1&tc=y&tl=n&tn=n&tp=n), especially `GD154/505-534` | The official catalogue identifies an open, off-site series for the Irish estate at Kilwaughter, 1636-1712. | Unsearched contemporary proof target, not evidence yet. Its date and estate context make it the best surviving candidate for a rental, lease, account or correspondence naming Robert with sons or a successor. |\n| [PRONI eCatalogue](https://apps.proni.gov.uk/eCatNI_IE/SearchPage.aspx), `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. |\n| [Agnew family history, NLS digital copy](https://deriv.nls.uk/dcn23/9489/94898125.23.pdf), 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. |\n| [Belfast News-Letter Index, 1737-1800](https://www.ucs.louisiana.edu/bnl/) | 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. |\n| [NLI catalogue, Nicholson Papers copies of Connor and Down wills](https://sources.nli.ie/Record/MS_UR_012684) 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. |\n| [PRONI `D2977/3A/4/81/72A-B`](https://apps.proni.gov.uk/eCatNI_IE/SearchPage.aspx), 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. |\n| [PRONI eCatalogue](https://apps.proni.gov.uk/eCatNI_IE/SearchPage.aspx), `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. |\n| [IrishGenealogy.ie, St Catherine baptism `DU-CI-BA-38743`](https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=1d928783dd-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. |\n| [Archived 79-photo Webshots album](https://web.archive.org/web/20120412114928id_/http://travel.webshots.com/album/558514063awmMGT), 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. |\n\nThe public volunteer Registry of Deeds index was also checked for every exact\nGlasgow entry from 1708 to 1800. Its early results reproduce the known Larne and\nKilwaughter people but contain no father, brother, uncle or grandfather statement\nfor this group. FamilySearch's full-text handwritten-deed index remains an\noutstanding search because the volunteer index is incomplete.\n\nThe destroyed 1727 will was also sought through searchable references to Betham,\nCrossle and Tenison Groves abstracts. The National Library of Ireland's\nconsolidated Genealogical Office/Betham index contains no `Glasgow` surname entry,\nand no other abstract or copy was located. That closes the Betham route but is not\nproof that no private or archival transcript exists. A\nseparate 29-entry Ancestry collection titled *The Glasgow Family of Kilwaugheter\nParish, County Antrim, Northern Ireland and America* derives from material at the\nAlabama Department of Archives and History; its images need checking for genuinely\ncontemporary extracts rather than another rendering of the same reconstructed\npedigree."}]}],"similar_people":[{"id":"Glasgow-1068","name":"Robert Glasgow","catalogue_id":"glasgow-1068","html_url":"/people/glasgow-1068.html","birth_year":1678,"death_year":null,"birth_place":"Kilwinning, Ayrshire, Scotland","death_place":null,"score":50,"classification":"similar person","match_reasons":["same first and last name (+18)","same birth year (+30)","child given-name pattern overlaps: Hugh"],"conflicts":["uncertain father attachments differ (no deduction)"],"matching_children":[],"child_name_overlap":["hugh"],"parent_comparison":"No shared parent is indexed"},{"id":"Glasgow-1983","name":"Robert Glasgow","catalogue_id":"glasgow-1983","html_url":"/people/glasgow-1983.html","birth_year":1763,"death_year":1835,"birth_place":"Ireland","death_place":"Newberry, South Carolina, United States","score":46,"classification":"similar person","match_reasons":["same first and last name (+18)","overlapping locality (+8)","matching child names: James Glasgow, Robert Glasgow"],"conflicts":["record-derived birth estimates differ by 85;

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."}}
