Research Notes
No Irish marriage, death or census records found for this John.

Conceivably he might be the same person as John Mitchell Glasgow, b. Sep 1864 Ireland, d. 1941 Visalia, Tulare, California:
* 
* US death certificate gives mother's maiden name of Ferguson
* This was the only John Glasgow registered birth in Ireland in 1864. BUT: civil registration opened in 1864; it is possible John Mitchell Glasgow was born 1863 for example and so would not be registered; furthermore, it was common to not give a forename on early birth registrations.
* 31cM DNA match (2 seg) for John Mitchell Glasgow to descendant of Margaret (Bell) Harkness (abt.1827-1913)
* Henry (his wife's maiden name) was also a large family of Killycurragh -- perhaps they were both from this area. In fact gives her as b. 28 Oct 1868 KillyCurragh to John B Henry.
** John B. Henry is a witness to the will of John Henry Jr. (-1862) of Killycurragh.
* Obituary (https://www.newspapers.com/clip/48967555/obituary-for-john-mitchell-glasgow/?xid=637&_ga=2.154219387.213902788.1620880915-1258376536.1593505526): "Born in Ireland, Glasgow came to New York when he was 17. He was married to Maggie Jane Henry 33 years ago in New York and the two came to Visalia on their wedding trip and established their home in the Willow school district where he has since resided. He was a rancher for 53 years. " ... "Survivors include a son Harry Glasgow of Visalia and three daughters, Mrs L. Stewart, Mrs. Iva Mills and Mrs Lena Hallwager."
