About John

Robert Glasgow-2769 and Nancy Unknown remain attached as John's uncertain working parents because no better replacement has been identified. John's reported birth about 1800 is incompatible with Robert's primary-source birth range of 1790–1800: Robert would have been no more than about ten when John was born. No record has been found naming them as father and son, so the links must not be treated as proved.

Current conclusion

Robert Glasgow-2769 and Nancy Unknown remain attached as John's uncertain
working parents because no better replacement has been identified. John's
reported birth about 1800 is incompatible with Robert's primary-source birth
range of 1790–1800: Robert would have been no more than about ten when John was
born. No record has been found naming them as father and son, so the links must
not be treated as proved.

A John Glasgow appears in Giles County's 1836 tax list, but the list gives no
age, birthplace or relative and cannot prove that he was this John or Robert's
son.
