Source findingsFindmypast sweep — 7 October 2026

Searches that found nothing

A Findmypast search for David Glasgow (surname variants on) in Indiana, 1820–1880, returned 37 records. The only David Glasgows are in Union Township, La Porte County, in 1870 (born about 1843 and about 1861) and 1880. Neither fits a man born about 1803 who died in 1866. There is no 1850 or 1860 census entry, marriage or Civil War-era record for a David Glasgow born about 1803 in Indiana. The tree's 1866 Indiana death and Irish birth remain unsupported.

Recommended next records

HOLD date and migration changes until the Indiana death, burial, census or probate record and an Irish-origin record are inspected. Preserve existing structured values unless a sourced replacement is established.
