Samuel Glasgow

Biography
Samuel's wife Ann passed away in 1847 age 51 at Gortin, near Cookstown.
 See her profile for a newspaper citation. 

As of about 1860 (Griffith's Valuation), Samuel Glasgow held lot 5 at Gortin, Derryloran. It was a farm of about 20 acres and he sublet to George Carroll, Mary Quin, and James Weir. He also had a 16-acre farm in Gortin, Kildress (contiguous with Gortin, Derryloran).

Samuel passed away 22 June 1865 age 73 at Gortin, due to malignant disease of stomach. Informed by John Glasgow, Gortin.

His farms passed to James Glasgow in 1868, and then some of them to John Glasgow in 1871.
Research Notes
Wife
The children Thomas and Letitia have NZ death certificates naming parents as Samuel Glasgow + Ann McCormick.
Gortin
The townland of Gortin is just to the west of Cookstown, Tyrone. Not to be confused with Gortin, Lower Bodoney -- an entirely different place.

The profile Unknown Glasgow (bef.1771-) contains further Research Notes about the Glasgow surname in the townland of Gortin.
In Griffith's Valuation
The townland crosses a parish boundary, as of Griffith's (ca. 1860); there are Gortin, Kildress and Gortin, Derryloran. These have 4 lots and 9 lots respectively.

However, in the Valuation Revision books, both Gortins appear in the Derryloran revision -- albeit on separate pages! In revision VAL/12/B/37/15E the lots are renumbered to form a single townland, in the Derryloran book.
* Gortin, Kildress lot 4: Samuel Glasgow (16 acres); change to James Glasgow in 1868; , then John in 1871. A Lot 5 is created out of Lot 4; held by James Glasgow. Lot 4 is transferred from John Glasgow to John Baine in 1897; Lot 5 from James Glasgow to Andrew Hopper in 1907.
* Gortin, Derryloran lot 5: Samuel Glasgow (20 acres); change to James Glasgow in 1868. John Glasgow buys Lot 6. James sells to Andrew Hopper in 1907 and John to John Baine in 1897. 
Identity
The changes in the Valuation Revision Books indicate that it was probably the one Samuel Glasgow who held two farms; and passing to his son James. 

For this profile we are presuming there was only the one Samuel Glasgow of Gortin; although it is possible there was another one (e.g. a son), or perhaps there may have been other Glasgows who moved to Gortin later.

Samuel Glasgow (abt.1831-1902) could possibly be a son. 
John Glasgow
See John Glasgow (abt.1815-1896). Not clear if he was a son (and therefore that his death record age must be incorrect), or perhaps a brother or other relative.
Children in the Derryloran parish register
The following Confirmation ceremonies are listed in the Derryloran parish register;

 although there do not seem to be any baptisms for the children (perhaps they baptized at a different church , and/or the family did not move to Gortin until after the children were born?)
* 1843: William Glasgow (age 21), Gortin
* 1843: James Glasgow (age 21), Gortin
* 1843: Sally Glasgow (age 17), Gortin
* 1843: Letitia Glasgow (age 15), Gortin
* 1846: Thomas Glasgow (age 14.5), Gortin
* 1846: Margaret Glasgow (age 15.5), Gortin

It seems likely that James, Letitia and Thomas do correspond to the children attached to this profile, as the ages on confirmation are quite close to what we expected from other records for those children already.

So, were William, Sally and Margaret also children of Samuel; or was there another Glasgow family of Gortin?
