Wilson Crossier Glasgow

Biography
Wilson Crossier Glasgow was born about 1772, calculated from his gravestone age. His present Irish birthplace has not been verified by an inspected birth or baptism record.

Wilson was a son of James Glasgow and Mary Crosier. James's 1775 will named Wilson among his children. Newberry District, South Carolina, will of James Glasgow, dated 4 June 1775; transcription (https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184247id_/http://www.lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Paper_JGlasgowWill.html). 

In 1800 Wilson headed a household in Newberry District, South Carolina. "United States Census, 1800," FamilySearch (record (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XHRC-7BB)), Wilson Glasgow, Newberry District, South Carolina; citing NARA microfilm publication M32, roll 50, p. 75. 

Wilson married Mary McCracken. Their reciprocal gravestone inscriptions identify them as husband and wife. Gilders Creek Cemetery survey (https://genealogytrails.com/scar/newberry/gilders_creek_cem.htm), Newberry County, South Carolina, entries for Wilson and Mary Glasgow. 

Wilson died on 11 September 1817, aged about 45, and was buried at Gilders Creek Cemetery in Newberry County. John Glasgow administered his estate.

Research Notes
Children
Mary's 1837 will gave their daughter Ruth one-seventh of her property, daughter Mariah one-sixth of the remainder, and the residue to her “other five children.” Their son Hiram was appointed trustee for Mariah. The wording establishes seven children in total. Newberry District, South Carolina, Will Book N, p. 1, will of Mary Glasgow, widow of Wilson Glasgow, dated 28 November 1837 and proved 22 October 1838; transcription (https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184247id_/http://www.lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Paper_WilsonGlasgowWife.html). The displayed recording date of July 1837 precedes execution and is evidently a transcription error. 

The index to Wilson's real-estate packet lists Mary with Robert, Ruth, Naomi, Matilda, Hiram, Almina and Maria. This is the widow plus seven apparent children and matches the will's child count, although the original packet is still needed for explicit kin terms. Newberry County, South Carolina, real-estate packet 1-13, estate of Wilson Glasgow; index (https://genealogytrails.com/scar/newberry/realestate.html), entries for Wilson Glasgow and Mary, Robert, Ruth, Naomi, Matilda, Hiram, Almina and Maria. 

The reconstructed child group is:

| Ruth Glasgow, 1802–1863

| Hiram Glasgow, about 1810–1847
| Explicitly called Mary's son in her will and appointed trustee for Mariah. His Newberry estate was administered in 1847. Newberry County estate index (https://genealogytrails.com/scar/newberry/estates1785-1949/22.htm), Hiram Glasgow, 1847, estate 1953, box 77, package 196.

|-
| Mariah Glasgow
| Explicitly called Mary's daughter and the wife of William McCracken in Mary's will. She is apparently the Maria named in Wilson's real-estate packet index; no matching WikiTree profile has yet been identified.

Ruth, Mariah and Hiram are directly identified as Mary's children. Robert, Naomi, Matilda and Almina complete the seven-name group in Wilson's estate, exactly matching Mary's stated child count. The original real-estate packet should still be inspected before describing its wording as direct proof of each relationship.

James J Glasgow was proposed elsewhere as another son. He is not included in the matching seven-child estate group and was not attached here. The same FamilySearch family also includes Fleming Bates Glasgow, reportedly born in 1823, six years after Wilson's death. That online child list combines more than one family.
Y-DNA
The Y-DNA result presently displayed on this profile should not be treated as proof of descent from Wilson. Kit 200475 belongs to a documented paternal line descending from Robert Glasgow, born in 1749; no record has connected that Robert as a descendant of Wilson.
