About Jessie

The Texas State Historical Association documents Jesse Martin Glasco's birth in Giles County, Tennessee, on 12 May 1818 and his later Texas life, but does not name his parents. His age fits the male aged 20–29 in Robert Glasgow-2769's 1840 household. The son attachment remains plausible and uncertain, not proved.

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

This summary is given in full at the top of the page.

What the records show

Source findings — Handbook of Texas biography, marriage and Texas residence

The Texas State Historical Association's “Glasco, Jesse Martin”, Handbook of Texas Online, states that Jesse married Louisa Earp on 16 December 1846, became a Methodist minister, moved to Upshur County, Texas, in 1850, and died there on 17 December 1886. This is a published derivative biography; the marriage record itself has not been inspected. It does not name Jesse's parents, so it does not affect the uncertain link to Robert-2769. No WikiTree profile for Louisa Earp was found in the local One Tree catalogue.

=== Parentage ===

Jesse remains attached as an uncertain son of [[Glasgow-2769|Robert Glasgow]] and [[Unknown-658277|Nancy Unknown]] because no better placement has been identified. His age fits one of the two males under 10 in Robert's 1820 Giles County household and the male aged 20–29 in Robert's 1840 Lauderdale County household.<ref name="Census1820">1820 United States census, Giles County, Tennessee, Robert Glasgow household; NARA microfilm publication M33, roll 124; [https://archive.org/details/populationsc18200124unit/page/n21/mode/1up original schedule, scan 21].</ref><ref name="Census1840">1840 United States census, Lauderdale County, Alabama, p. 48, Robert ''Glasgow'' household; NARA microfilm publication M704, roll 7; [https://archive.org/details/populationsc18400007unit/page/n245/mode/1up original schedule, scan 245].</ref> Neither census names him, and Jesse's published biography does not identify his parents.

Current conclusion

The Texas State Historical Association documents Jesse Martin Glasco's birth
in Giles County, Tennessee, on 12 May 1818 and his later Texas life, but does not
name his parents. His age fits the male aged 20–29 in Robert Glasgow-2769's 1840
household. The son attachment remains plausible and uncertain, not proved.

Source findings — Handbook of Texas biography, marriage and Texas residence

The Texas State Historical Association's [“Glasco, Jesse Martin”](https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/glasco-jesse-martin), *Handbook of Texas Online*, states that Jesse married **Louisa Earp on 16 December 1846**, became a Methodist minister, moved to **Upshur County, Texas, in 1850**, and died there on 17 December 1886. This is a published derivative biography; the marriage record itself has not been inspected. It does not name Jesse's parents, so it does not affect the uncertain link to Robert-2769. No WikiTree profile for Louisa Earp was found in the local One Tree catalogue.
