Robert Glasgow, Cecil County plantation notice, 1786: Estimated birth c. 1724 in Ireland and death place United States leave the chronology possible, but the profile gives no Maryland residence or relevant occupation. This is a broad, weak candidate only. Glasgow-395 is the strongest bounded regional/chronological lead, with no plantation, Hartshorn or personal identity bridge. Glasgow-2425 remains a weak possible namesake. Glasgow-1143’s estimated c. 1772 death is a material chronology tension, not a certain exclusion without its underlying source. No joining to the Scottish Roberts is warranted. No family or life-date change follows.
What the records show
Source findings
| Source | Finding | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Moneymore, Artrea, County Londonderry | Places Moneymore in County Londonderry, not County Galway. | Direct geographic evidence; does not prove Robert lived there. |
| PRONI Guide to Church Records, First Moneymore Presbyterian MIC1P/339; Second Moneymore MIC1P/340; Ardtrea/Desertlin MIC1D/35 and T3050 | The listed surviving Moneymore baptism registers begin in 1827, 1845 and 1832 respectively, too late to record a birth about 1724. | Authoritative negative evidence about surviving local register coverage; it does not prove Robert's identity or birthplace. |
| FamilySearch Family Tree MCTD-7P4 | User-contributed tree lead currently cited by the profile. | Derivative; original supporting records not inspected. |
| PRONI Name Search, pre-1858 wills and administrations | None of the 47 Glasgow entries gives Moneymore. The nearby Cookstown/Derryloran cluster includes a 1770 will index for William Glasgow of Killycurragh. | Negative for Robert at Moneymore; positive only for a distinct surname occurrence in the wider Cookstown district. |
| Registry of Deeds Index Project surname search, 30 Aug 2026 | None of the 22 indexed Glasgow results names Moneymore. | Incomplete volunteer-index negative, not proof that no unindexed memorial exists. |
Source findings
A notice dated North Susquehanna hundred, Cecil county, Maryland, 10 February 1786 offers a 260-acre plantation for public vendue on 10 March, with immediate possession given by Robert Glasgow and Joshua Hartshorn. Two issues repeat one proposed sale. Robert’s precise role is unstated: owner, agent or another participant is not resolved. No completed sale or relationship to Hartshorn is proved. Glasgow-395 is the strongest bounded regional/chronological lead, with no plantation, Hartshorn or personal identity bridge. Glasgow-2425 remains a weak possible namesake. Glasgow-1143’s estimated c. 1772 death is a material chronology tension, not a certain exclusion without its underlying source. No joining to the Scottish Roberts is warranted.

Identity and family
Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026
- The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1786-02-15, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. Robert Glasgow and Joshua Hartshorn were to give possession of a 260-acre plantation in North Susquehanna Hundred, Cecil County, Maryland, offered at vendue in March 1786. Neither man can be identified on WikiTree. The joint Glasgow–Hartshorn role is a research lead pointing to the Cecil County family of James Glasgow (Glasgow-2868) and Ann Hartshorne (Hartshorne-320), but it is not a relationship.
