Research NotesNew York and Hillsdale candidates
A compiled immigration index reports a Samuel M. Glasgow, aged twenty-one, arriving at New York in 1841. The age implies birth about 1820 and is compatible with the 1850 Troy man, but the underlying passenger entry has not been inspected and the middle initial, origin, destination, and later residence have not been bridged. Glasgow surname migration compilation (https://www.houseofnames.com/glasgow.-family-crest), entry for Samuel M. Glasgow, age 21, arriving New York in 1841; derivative index requiring verification against the original passenger record. 

An 1888 Hillsdale County biography names Margaret, a daughter of John Glasgow and Jane, as “Mrs. Samuel Glasgow” and associates her with Auburn, New York. The same volume says Margaret's brothers William and John came from County Tyrone through Auburn. Portrait and Biographical Album of Hillsdale County, Michigan (Chicago: Chapman Brothers, 1888), p. 395, biography of William Glasgow. This establishes a different Samuel Glasgow in the relevant New York migration network, but supplies no age, occupation, parents, marriage date, or later residence for him. There is presently no evidence identifying that man with this Samuel of Troy.

The 1850 household should be reconstructed from the original census image before any relationship is attached. In particular, Jane Glasgow, aged twenty-three, may have been Samuel's wife or sister, and Martha Glasgow, aged seventeen, may have been a sister or another relative.
