About Thomas

Thomas Glasgow, Kentucky postal addressee, 1799: Recorded exact 8 September1761 Currie birth permits adulthood; estimated c.1834 Midlothian death is not exact, and no Kentucky bridge is supplied. No existing profile is identified. Glasgow-3592 and Glasgow-1620 are weak chronology-only comparisons with no Kentucky or correspondence bridge. Other compatible namesakes remain open; a birthplace or absent migration field is not an exclusion. No family or life-date change follows.

What the records show

Source findings

Thomas Glasgow, Kentucky, is named in a list of letters remaining at the Lexington post office, printed 24 January 1799. Thomas is a named addressee, and Kentucky the geographic qualifier. The Lexington post-office heading is preserved separately. The notice says uncollected letters would be returned after three months; no collection, occupation, age, household or exact residence is proved. No existing profile is identified. Glasgow-3592 and Glasgow-1620 are weak chronology-only comparisons with no Kentucky or correspondence bridge. Other compatible namesakes remain open; a birthplace or absent migration field is not an exclusion. Kentucky Gazette, 1799-01-24, p.3

Identity and family

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

Kentucky Gazette, 1799-01-24, p.3: no longer a candidate for this profile. Thomas Glasgow, 'Kentucky', is listed among letters remaining at the Lexington post office (printed 24 January 1799). No WikiTree profile fits: the two prior comparisons are Irish- and Scottish-recorded men with no Kentucky link, and one died in Scotland.
