Mary's 1837 will divides her property\namong seven children. The matching real-estate index names Mary with Robert,\nRuth, Naomi, Matilda, Hiram, Almina and Maria in Wilson's estate; James is not\nlisted. The original packet is still needed for its exact kinship wording, but\nthe matching count makes James's omission material. The FamilySearch child list\nis demonstrably conflated because it also calls Fleming Bates Glasgow, born in\n1823, a son of Wilson, who died in 1817.\n\nJames remains a plausible but unproved son of [[Glasgow-2769|Robert Glasgow]].\nRobert's 1820 Giles County household had one boy aged 10–15, compatible with a\nJames born about 1809/10, and James was later established in Giles County. No\nrecord yet names Robert as his father. The tested Y-DNA line reaches James and\nplaces his paternal line under R-FT20271, but it cannot identify his father\nwithout a documented comparison line.\n\nA new paper-tree hypothesis can now be stated without treating it as proved.\nRobert's leading named father candidate is Archibald `Glasgow-2304`, whose 1800\nNewberry household contained one otherwise-unidentified boy under ten. If both\nuncertain links are correct, James's line would run through Archibald to James\n`Glasgow-1144` and the older Kilwaughter family. That would give a coherent place\nfor the close Y-DNA relationship to Alexander `Glasgow-951`'s Antrim line, but no\nrecord yet proves either James-to-Robert or Robert-to-Archibald."},{"title":"Source findings","category":"sources","markdown":"| Source | Finding | Assessment |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| [Mary Glasgow's 1837 will](https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184247id_/http://www.lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Paper_WilsonGlasgowWife.html), Newberry Will Book N, p. 1 | Ruth received one-seventh; Mariah received one-sixth of the remainder; the residue went to Mary's “other five children.” Hiram was named trustee. | Seven children total: Ruth, Mariah and five others, including Hiram.

People already attached as the subject's parents stay in the identity summary and are excluded from this alternative-candidate list, regardless of relationship confidence. The main calibration uses clues available on disconnected profiles; existing parent and sibling links are retained as comparison context rather than treated as transferable evidence. Common ordered names and grandparent-to-child echoes receive a small non-zero weight, so a John or James match can support several independent criteria without producing a lead alone. Rare names, repeated bearers and bundles across otherwise distinct branches receive substantially more weight according to catalogue frequency. An exact migration place is weighted by its rarity and repetition across both branches; a shared destination country is worth only one point. Extra weight is added only when at least three independent clue types converge: naming, locality, specific migration, household chronology or collateral networks. Sparse profiles retain a clearly labelled chronology-only fallback instead of disappearing. Countries, states, counties and research clusters do not count as a shared locality, and fallback, broad representative or kin-inferred coordinates are excluded from distance scoring. Shared descendant profiles are removed before branch-name comparison. A candidate already recorded as a parent-in-law is excluded. A confident or independently supported parent is treated as settled; uncertain and unassessed attachments remain open to alternative comparison. A different linked parent, an uncle/aunt or grandparent path, and a matching existing child profile prevent an alternative from being classified as a strong direct-parent lead until the underlying tree conflict or duplicate is resolved. Familiar forms such as Bessie are normalised. Surname remains an eligibility filter worth zero points.","warning":"Naming customs, shared farms and occupations are circumstantial. Children, spouses and collateral relatives may be missing, and tree-derived family networks are not independent evidence. Scores rank research leads; they do not prove parentage."}}
