About Samuel

Samuel Glasgow, aged about thirty and farming in Troy, New York, in 1850, is not yet identified beyond that household. He is chronologically compatible with the Samuel M. Glasgow, aged twenty-one, indexed as arriving at New York in 1841. He is also a possible but weaker candidate for the Samuel Glasgow associated with Margaret, daughter of John and Jane Glasgow, at Auburn. Neither identity is proved, and no family relationship should be attached.

Disambiguation

The catalogue contains no established Samuel profile that securely represents Margaret's husband. Glasgow-2417 is the only existing profile whose age, Irish birth, and New York residence do not rule him out. That is not enough for a merge or relationship.
