John Glasgow

Biography
John may have been born about 1808 or later.

John lived at Gortin, Derryloran, County Tyrone as of 1874; he was an unmarried farmer and his father was Samuel Glasgow. He may have been the son of Samuel Glasgow and Ann McCormick. 

On 17 June 1874 at Claggan Presbyterian, he married Mary Jane Jordan of Cluntyganny, daughter of Thomas Jordan, farmer. Witnessed by Robert G. Ramsay and John Crooks.

Research Notes
When Samuel Glasgow dies, the informant is "John Glasgow" ; and some of Samuel's land at Gortin passes to John Glasgow . The land held by John Glasgow passes to John Baine in 1897.

The marriage record for this John placing him at Gortin , and the 1896 death, indicates that it is probably the same John in that marriage as in the valuation books, i.e. that this John was a close relative of Samuel.

All of this seems to indicate John was Samuel's son; however the "age 88" on the death record is not really compatible with that. Perhaps the age was mistranscribed on the death record.

Another possibility could be that John was a brother rather than a son; however there seems to be some evidence that Samuel's father was called John and not Samuel.
