About James

The 14 February 1720 Glencorse baptism directly names James's parents as Robert Glasgow and Margaret Davidsone. It does not identify that Robert as Glasgow-2867, the 1754 master of the John and Archibald; retain that shipmaster identification as uncertain. Glasgow-3011 is the probable Glencorse-father candidate, not a proved identification. No contemporary record yet connects this Scottish child to the claimed Maryland family.

Newspaper identity review, 6 October 2026

The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1757-04-07, p.1: James Glascow (letter addressee, Fogs Manor) — possible match. Fogs Manor = Fagg's Manor, the Presbyterian settlement in Londonderry Township, Chester County. Chester County Archives' 1715-1764 tax index has James Glascow/Glasgo, landholder, Londonderry 1739 and 1740, and the same name at Charlestown Twp 1735/36-1740, East Nottingham 1747/48, 1749/50, 1751, 1753, 1754 and West Nottingham 1758 - an actual resident of the Fagg's Manor/Nottingham district with the notice's own spelling 'Glascow'. WikiTree has no profile placed in Chester County. Glasgow-2868 (bap. 1720 Glencorse; colonial identity: James of Cecil County, Maryland, wife Ann Hartshorne, children born Cecil 1749-1767, d. c.1784) fits the Nottingham-Cecil border district (East/West Nottingham lay in the disputed PA-MD border zone) and age, but no record bridges him to the tax-list James; the 1735/36 landholder cannot be a 15-year-old, so the 1735-40 entries may be an older James. Glasgow-1 Sources: Chester County Archives, 1715-1764 Chester County Tax Index D-I (James Glascow/Glasgo/Glasgoe entries: Charlestown 1735/36-1740, Londonderry 1739-1740, East Nottingham 1747/48-1754, West Nottingham 1758)
The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1782-08-14, p.4: James Glasgow (advertiser/contact for sale of a Wilmington tanyard, living at Christiana Bridge) — possible match. The notice places the advertiser at Christiana Bridge, New Castle County (Delaware), about 10 miles from the Cecil County, Maryland, home of Glasgow-2868 (James, d. c.1784 guess; wife Ann Hartshorne) and his son Glasgow-3290 (James, b. c.1758 Cecil, d. 1789). Both are regional fits without any property, tanning or Christiana bridge; a 1785 notice by the same-named Christiana Bridge advertiser (lane us-1785-1799) sits awkwardly with 2868's guessed 1784 death and slightly favours the younger James (3290) if they are one advertiser. Glasgow-634 is unlikely: he was serving continuously as North Carolina's Secretary of State (1777-1798) and was a Dobbs County landholder - a simultaneous different household - whereas the advertiser describes himself as living at Christiana Bridge. Sources: Carolana: Patriot Leaders in North Carolina - James Glasgow (Secretary of State 1777-1799)

Wilmington/Christiana Bridge notices through 1785, 5 October 2026The signed Wilmington/Christiana Bridge advertiser remains unidentified.

The signed Wilmington/Christiana Bridge advertiser remains unidentified. Two Cecil County chronological/regional James profiles are compatible, without a property or individual bridge. The North Carolina secretary is another adult namesake but has a different documentary region; do not merge him solely because Wilmington is also a North Carolina place. The 1785 notices create tension with Glasgow-2868’s estimated c. 1784 death, which is not a certain exclusion; inspect that estimate before assigning the later advertiser. No continuity of property ownership is proved.

James Glasgow, living at Christiana Bridge, signs a notice dated 12 March 1785 offering a complete tanyard in the borough of Wilmington, State of Delaware, then in the tenure of Thomas Glenn. Three issues reprint this separate 1785 notice. The printed Delaware designation and Thomas Glenn occupancy are explicit. Advertiser is not necessarily owner or tanner; no completed sale or identity of this plot with the former Whitlock property in 1782 is proved. The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1785-03-23, p.2, The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1785-03-30, p.1, The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1785-04-09, p.4

Additional newspaper originals, 5 October 2026

James Glasgow, Wilmington tannery sale advertiser,1782: Adult chronology and later Cecil Maryland regional context are compatible with nearby New Castle, without a Wilmington/Christiana Bridge or property bridge. The signed Wilmington/Christiana Bridge advertiser remains unidentified. Two Cecil County chronological/regional James profiles are compatible, without a property or individual bridge. The North Carolina secretary is another adult namesake but has a different documentary region; do not merge him solely because Wilmington is also a North Carolina place. No family or life-date change follows.

Oxford Hackman witness reprint, 5 October 2026

James is a named witness in one reprinted report, with no checked profile identified. The postal and shipmaster James subjects remain separate; no kinship or travel history is established.

James Glasgow and Andrew Doyle, styled chairmen, are named among persons examined in the Hackman/Miss Ray affair; Glasgow reportedly removed the pistol and gave it to Halliburton. The Hackman/Miss Ray report names James Glasgow and Andrew Doyle as chairmen among those examined, and says Glasgow took the pistol from Hackman and gave it to constable Halliburton. Chairmen is preserved without expanding the occupation. Two original issues reprint one account; reported testimony is not a separate trial verdict or proof of family identity. James is a named witness in one reprinted report, with no checked profile identified. The postal and shipmaster James subjects remain separate; no kinship or travel history is established. Gloucester Journal, 1779-04-12, p.3, Berrow's Worcester Journal, 1779-04-15, p.1, Jackson’s Oxford Journal, 1779-04-10, p.3

Additional newspaper originals, 5 October 2026

James Glasgow, Marsh creek Carlisle list, 1795: Exact 1720 birth and estimated c.1784 death; weak chronology and regional comparison only, not an exact death exclusion or Marsh creek match. No existing profile is identified. Glasgow-3290, Glasgow-2868 and Glasgow-634 remain weak compatible comparisons without a Marsh creek bridge. Do not join this addressee to the Lancaster 1773 or North Carolina subjects solely by name. No family or life-date change follows.

Additional newspaper originals, 5 October 2026

James Glasgow, Hackman affair witness, 1779: Adult chronology permits 1779; no London witness bridge, and later Maryland context remains a competing lead. James is a named witness in one reprinted report, with no checked profile identified. The postal and shipmaster James subjects remain separate; no kinship or travel history is established. No family or life-date change follows.

Additional newspaper originals, 5 October 2026

James Glasgow, Lancaster postal addressee, 1773: Compatible adult lifespan and later Cecil County context; no Lancaster letter-list bridge. The three checked profiles remain possible; none identifies the addressee. No link to the 1757 Philadelphia/Fogs Manor, 1775 Charlestown or 1777 shipmaster James is established. No family or life-date change follows.

Source findings

James Glasgow (2) is listed among letters remaining in Lancaster’s post office. Alphabetical letters-remaining list headed Post-Office, Lancaster. The (2) marker is preserved without reading it as an age. Nearby county names belong to other entries; the post office is not proof of James’s residence. Normalized Glasgow is the personal surname reading. The three checked profiles remain possible; none identifies the addressee. No link to the 1757 Philadelphia/Fogs Manor, 1775 Charlestown or 1777 shipmaster James is established. The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1773-07-21, p.4

Source findings

James Glasgow, Marsh creek, appears in a Carlisle names/address list reprinted in July–August 1795. The printed Marsh creek qualifier immediately accompanies James, not the next Andrew Givin. Repeated list entries do not establish repeated acts, collected mail, family, permanent residence or continued life. No common list heading or list date was found on the inspected pages; postal interpretation remains qualified. No existing profile is identified. Glasgow-3290, Glasgow-2868 and Glasgow-634 remain weak compatible comparisons without a Marsh creek bridge. Do not join this addressee to the Lancaster 1773 or North Carolina subjects solely by name. Kline's Carlisle Weekly Gazette, 1795-07-15, p.3, Kline's Carlisle Weekly Gazette, 1795-07-29, p.4, Kline's Carlisle Weekly Gazette, 1795-08-12, p.4

Source findingsJames Glasgow, at Christiana Bridge in Newcastle county, advertises for private sale the former Charles Whitlock tanyard in the borough of Wilmington; notice dated 5 August 1782.

James Glasgow, at Christiana Bridge in Newcastle county, advertises for private sale the former Charles Whitlock tanyard in the borough of Wilmington; notice dated 5 August 1782. Five issues repeat one private-sale advertisement dated 5 August 1782. James is the signed advertiser/contact; ownership, tanning occupation, completed sale, age and kinship are not proved. Printed places are borough of Wilmington and Christiana Bridge, Newcastle county; Delaware identification is a geographical interpretation, not the Philadelphia paper’s locality. The signed Wilmington/Christiana Bridge advertiser remains unidentified. Two Cecil County chronological/regional James profiles are compatible, without a property or individual bridge. The North Carolina secretary is another adult namesake but has a different documentary region; do not merge him solely because Wilmington is also a North Carolina place. The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1782-08-14, p.4, The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1782-08-17, p.4, The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1782-08-24, p.4, The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1782-08-31, p.1, The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1782-09-11, p.4

Identity and family

Relationship assessment — newspaper identity review, 6 October 2026William Glasgow (son of James Glasgow Sr.

William Glasgow (son of James Glasgow Sr. of Cecil County; no profile) — son of — Glasgow-2868 (James Glasgow, d. c.1784 Cecil County) and Hartshorne-320 (Ann): research note only (WikiTree now: not linked (no William profile)). Not in the notice (which names only 'William Glasgow'). MSA SC 3520-17195: 'the son of Ann and James Glasgow Sr. (d. 1784), with siblings Ezekiel (d. 1780), Adam (d. 1782-1783), James, Elizabeth Mary, William, and Hannah' - a secondary summary of Cecil County probate. Inspect the probate (James Glasgow Sr., Cecil County, 1784) before drafting William as a child of 2868; the letter-list William is only possibly him. (Maryland Gazette, 1771-10-24, p.3)
Glasgow-1134 (Samuel Glasgow) — son of — Glasgow-2868 (James Glasgow Sr., d. c.1784) and Hartshorne-320 (Ann): research note only (WikiTree now: linked, status code 10 (not marked confident)). The notice states no kin ('Samuel Glasgow' in a list of absent soldiers). MSA SC 3520-17195, summarising Cecil County probate: 'he was the Samuel who was the son of Ann and James Glasgow Sr. (d. 1784), with siblings Ezekiel (d. 1780), Adam (d. 1782-1783), James, Elizabeth Mary, William, and Hannah. That Samuel Glasgow was married to a woman named Ann.' This supports a Samuel son of James Sr. and Ann of Cecil (existing link), but conflicts with 1134's recorded wife Hannah Kilpatrick, so the existing link should stay uncertain until the Cecil probate is inspected. (Maryland Gazette, 1777-10-23, p.2)

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026Jackson’s Oxford Journal, 1779-04-10, p.3 : no longer a candidate for this profile.

Jackson’s Oxford Journal, 1779-04-10, p.3: no longer a candidate for this profile. April 1779 reports of the Hackman/Martha Ray shooting name James Glasgow, chairman (sedan-chair carrier), who took the pistol and handed it to Halliburton. A London chairman with no identifying detail; no WikiTree profile can be assigned.
The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1785-03-23, p.2: no longer a candidate for this profile. James Glasgow, living at Christiana Bridge (New Castle County, Delaware), advertised a Wilmington tanyard then occupied by Thomas Glenn in March 1785. He is very likely the same man as the 1782 Christiana Bridge advertiser of the former Whitlock tanyard, but no WikiTree profile can be identified: Glasgow-3290 is a possible candidate only, and Glasgow-2868 and Glasgow-634 conflict on chronology or residence.
Kline's Carlisle Weekly Gazette, 1795-07-15, p.3: no longer a candidate for this profile. James Glasgow, Marsh Creek, appears in a Carlisle names-and-addresses list reprinted in July–August 1795. No WikiTree profile fits: the Cecil County Jameses are recorded dead before 1795, and the North Carolina Secretary of State lived elsewhere. A profile draft is needed only if further records identify him.

Still open

Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.

Recommended next actions

Do not detach or blank the present father relationship from this evidence alone.
If a controlled replacement from Glasgow-2867 to Glasgow-3011 is later made, mark it uncertain and make no other relationship change in that operation.
Seek migration, marriage, land, probate, or other continuity evidence before treating the Glencorse child as the Maryland adult or changing those dates, location, spouse, or children.

Next questions

Check Lancaster tax, land and postal records and original evidence behind the candidate profiles; seek distinctive addresses or family identifiers.

Next questions

Inspect original inquest and trial testimony for residence and occupation; compare namesakes only when an identifier bridges them.

Next questions

Inspect Marsh Creek tax, land, probate and postal records and the original evidence behind candidate identities; seek a family identifier or signature.

Next questions

Inspect Wilmington/New Castle deeds, tannery title and Charles Whitlock estate records, Christiana Bridge tax lists, and the candidates’ own family evidence for an individual bridge.

Current conclusion

The 14 February 1720 Glencorse baptism directly names James's parents as Robert Glasgow and Margaret Davidsone. It does not identify that Robert as `Glasgow-2867`, the 1754 master of the *John and Archibald*; retain that shipmaster identification as uncertain. `Glasgow-3011` is the probable Glencorse-father candidate, not a proved identification. No contemporary record yet connects this Scottish child to the claimed Maryland family.

Recommended next actions

- Do not detach or blank the present father relationship from this evidence alone.
- If a controlled replacement from `Glasgow-2867` to `Glasgow-3011` is later made, mark it uncertain and make no other relationship change in that operation.
- Seek migration, marriage, land, probate, or other continuity evidence before treating the Glencorse child as the Maryland adult or changing those dates, location, spouse, or children.

James Glasgow, Lancaster postal addressee, 1773: Compatible adult lifespan and later Cecil County context; no Lancaster letter-list bridge. The three checked profiles remain possible; none identifies the addressee. No link to the 1757 Philadelphia/Fogs Manor, 1775 Charlestown or 1777 shipmaster James is established. No family or life-date change follows.

James Glasgow (2) is listed among letters remaining in Lancaster’s post office. Alphabetical letters-remaining list headed Post-Office, Lancaster. The (2) marker is preserved without reading it as an age. Nearby county names belong to other entries; the post office is not proof of James’s residence. Normalized Glasgow is the personal surname reading. The three checked profiles remain possible; none identifies the addressee. No link to the 1757 Philadelphia/Fogs Manor, 1775 Charlestown or 1777 shipmaster James is established. [The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1773-07-21, p.4](https://www.newspapers.com/image/39403087/)

James Glasgow, Hackman affair witness, 1779: Adult chronology permits 1779; no London witness bridge, and later Maryland context remains a competing lead. James is a named witness in one reprinted report, with no checked profile identified. The postal and shipmaster James subjects remain separate; no kinship or travel history is established. No family or life-date change follows.

James Glasgow and Andrew Doyle, styled chairmen, are named among persons examined in the Hackman/Miss Ray affair; Glasgow reportedly removed the pistol and gave it to Halliburton. The Hackman/Miss Ray report names James Glasgow and Andrew Doyle as chairmen among those examined, and says Glasgow took the pistol from Hackman and gave it to constable Halliburton. Chairmen is preserved without expanding the occupation. Two original issues reprint one account; reported testimony is not a separate trial verdict or proof of family identity.

James Glasgow, Marsh creek Carlisle list, 1795: Exact 1720 birth and estimated c.1784 death; weak chronology and regional comparison only, not an exact death exclusion or Marsh creek match. No existing profile is identified. Glasgow-3290, Glasgow-2868 and Glasgow-634 remain weak compatible comparisons without a Marsh creek bridge. Do not join this addressee to the Lancaster 1773 or North Carolina subjects solely by name. No family or life-date change follows.

Source findings

James Glasgow, Marsh creek, appears in a Carlisle names/address list reprinted in July–August 1795. The printed Marsh creek qualifier immediately accompanies James, not the next Andrew Givin. Repeated list entries do not establish repeated acts, collected mail, family, permanent residence or continued life. No common list heading or list date was found on the inspected pages; postal interpretation remains qualified. No existing profile is identified. Glasgow-3290, Glasgow-2868 and Glasgow-634 remain weak compatible comparisons without a Marsh creek bridge. Do not join this addressee to the Lancaster 1773 or North Carolina subjects solely by name.

Current conclusion — additional newspaper originals, 5 October 2026

James Glasgow, Wilmington tannery sale advertiser,1782: Adult chronology and later Cecil Maryland regional context are compatible with nearby New Castle, without a Wilmington/Christiana Bridge or property bridge. The signed Wilmington/Christiana Bridge advertiser remains unidentified. Two Cecil County chronological/regional James profiles are compatible, without a property or individual bridge. The North Carolina secretary is another adult namesake but has a different documentary region; do not merge him solely because Wilmington is also a North Carolina place. No family or life-date change follows.

Source findings

James Glasgow, at Christiana Bridge in Newcastle county, advertises for private sale the former Charles Whitlock tanyard in the borough of Wilmington; notice dated 5 August 1782. Five issues repeat one private-sale advertisement dated 5 August 1782. James is the signed advertiser/contact; ownership, tanning occupation, completed sale, age and kinship are not proved. Printed places are borough of Wilmington and Christiana Bridge, Newcastle county; Delaware identification is a geographical interpretation, not the Philadelphia paper’s locality. The signed Wilmington/Christiana Bridge advertiser remains unidentified. Two Cecil County chronological/regional James profiles are compatible, without a property or individual bridge. The North Carolina secretary is another adult namesake but has a different documentary region; do not merge him solely because Wilmington is also a North Carolina place.

Current conclusion — Wilmington/Christiana Bridge notices through 1785, 5 October 2026

The signed Wilmington/Christiana Bridge advertiser remains unidentified. Two Cecil County chronological/regional James profiles are compatible, without a property or individual bridge. The North Carolina secretary is another adult namesake but has a different documentary region; do not merge him solely because Wilmington is also a North Carolina place. The 1785 notices create tension with Glasgow-2868’s estimated c. 1784 death, which is not a certain exclusion; inspect that estimate before assigning the later advertiser. No continuity of property ownership is proved.

James Glasgow, at Christiana Bridge in Newcastle county, advertises for private sale the former Charles Whitlock tanyard in the borough of Wilmington; notice dated 5 August 1782. Sixteen issues preserve the 5 August 1782 former Charles Whitlock property advertisement; three 1785 issues carry a different notice, explicitly naming Delaware and Thomas Glenn. The records share advertiser name and Christiana Bridge address, supporting a provisional cluster; same plot, ownership, occupation and completed sale remain unproved. The signed Wilmington/Christiana Bridge advertiser remains unidentified. Two Cecil County chronological/regional James profiles are compatible, without a property or individual bridge. The North Carolina secretary is another adult namesake but has a different documentary region; do not merge him solely because Wilmington is also a North Carolina place.

James Glasgow, living at Christiana Bridge, signs a notice dated 12 March 1785 offering a complete tanyard in the borough of Wilmington, State of Delaware, then in the tenure of Thomas Glenn. Three issues reprint this separate 1785 notice. The printed Delaware designation and Thomas Glenn occupancy are explicit. Advertiser is not necessarily owner or tanner; no completed sale or identity of this plot with the former Whitlock property in 1782 is proved.

Current conclusion — newspaper identity review, 6 October 2026

- [The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1757-04-07, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/39395391/): James Glascow (letter addressee, Fogs Manor) — **possible** match. Fogs Manor = Fagg's Manor, the Presbyterian settlement in Londonderry Township, Chester County. Chester County Archives' 1715-1764 tax index has James Glascow/Glasgo, landholder, Londonderry 1739 and 1740, and the same name at Charlestown Twp 1735/36-1740, East Nottingham 1747/48, 1749/50, 1751, 1753, 1754 and West Nottingham 1758 - an actual resident of the Fagg's Manor/Nottingham district with the notice's own spelling 'Glascow'. WikiTree has no profile placed in Chester County. Glasgow-2868 (bap. 1720 Glencorse; colonial identity: James of Cecil County, Maryland, wife Ann Hartshorne, children born Cecil 1749-1767, d. c.1784) fits the Nottingham-Cecil border district (East/West Nottingham lay in the disputed PA-MD border zone) and age, but no record bridges him to the tax-list James; the 1735/36 landholder cannot be a 15-year-old, so the 1735-40 entries may be an older James.

- [The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1782-08-14, p.4](https://www.newspapers.com/image/1033849411/): James Glasgow (advertiser/contact for sale of a Wilmington tanyard, living at Christiana Bridge) — **possible** match. The notice places the advertiser at Christiana Bridge, New Castle County (Delaware), about 10 miles from the Cecil County, Maryland, home of Glasgow-2868 (James, d. c.1784 guess; wife Ann Hartshorne) and his son Glasgow-3290 (James, b. c.1758 Cecil, d. 1789). Both are regional fits without any property, tanning or Christiana bridge; a 1785 notice by the same-named Christiana Bridge advertiser (lane us-1785-1799) sits awkwardly with 2868's guessed 1784 death and slightly favours the younger James (3290) if they are one advertiser. Glasgow-634 is unlikely: he was serving continuously as North Carolina's Secretary of State (1777-1798) and was a Dobbs County landholder - a simultaneous different household - whereas the advertiser describes himself as living at Christiana Bridge.

Relationship assessment — newspaper identity review, 6 October 2026

- William Glasgow (son of James Glasgow Sr. of Cecil County; no profile) — son of — Glasgow-2868 (James Glasgow, d. c.1784 Cecil County) and Hartshorne-320 (Ann): **research note only** (WikiTree now: not linked (no William profile)). Not in the notice (which names only 'William Glasgow'). MSA SC 3520-17195: 'the son of Ann and James Glasgow Sr. (d. 1784), with siblings Ezekiel (d. 1780), Adam (d. 1782-1783), James, Elizabeth Mary, William, and Hannah' - a secondary summary of Cecil County probate. Inspect the probate (James Glasgow Sr., Cecil County, 1784) before drafting William as a child of 2868; the letter-list William is only possibly him. ([Maryland Gazette, 1771-10-24, p.3](https://www.newspapers.com/image/41041559/))
- Glasgow-1134 (Samuel Glasgow) — son of — Glasgow-2868 (James Glasgow Sr., d. c.1784) and Hartshorne-320 (Ann): **research note only** (WikiTree now: linked, status code 10 (not marked confident)). The notice states no kin ('Samuel Glasgow' in a list of absent soldiers). MSA SC 3520-17195, summarising Cecil County probate: 'he was the Samuel who was the son of Ann and James Glasgow Sr. (d. 1784), with siblings Ezekiel (d. 1780), Adam (d. 1782-1783), James, Elizabeth Mary, William, and Hannah. That Samuel Glasgow was married to a woman named Ann.' This supports a Samuel son of James Sr. and Ann of Cecil (existing link), but conflicts with 1134's recorded wife Hannah Kilpatrick, so the existing link should stay uncertain until the Cecil probate is inspected.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

- [Jackson’s Oxford Journal, 1779-04-10, p.3](https://www.newspapers.com/image/396539533/): no longer a candidate for this profile. April 1779 reports of the Hackman/Martha Ray shooting name James Glasgow, chairman (sedan-chair carrier), who took the pistol and handed it to Halliburton. A London chairman with no identifying detail; no WikiTree profile can be assigned.
- [The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser, 1785-03-23, p.2](https://www.newspapers.com/image/1034008744/): no longer a candidate for this profile. James Glasgow, living at Christiana Bridge (New Castle County, Delaware), advertised a Wilmington tanyard then occupied by Thomas Glenn in March 1785. He is very likely the same man as the 1782 Christiana Bridge advertiser of the former Whitlock tanyard, but no WikiTree profile can be identified: Glasgow-3290 is a possible candidate only, and Glasgow-2868 and Glasgow-634 conflict on chronology or residence.
- [Kline's Carlisle Weekly Gazette, 1795-07-15, p.3](https://www.newspapers.com/image/1033874474/): no longer a candidate for this profile. James Glasgow, Marsh Creek, appears in a Carlisle names-and-addresses list reprinted in July–August 1795. No WikiTree profile fits: the Cecil County Jameses are recorded dead before 1795, and the North Carolina Secretary of State lived elsewhere. A profile draft is needed only if further records identify him.
