About James

James belongs in a Derryloran research complex, not a two-person standalone. The 1740 return contains two James and two William Glasgow households in the parish, but it does not identify this James or name his children.

Postal and certificate originals, 5 October 2026

James Glasgow, Edinburgh game certificate, 1789: Birth c.1720, estimated, County Tyrone; death not recorded. Chronologically possible with no Edinburgh/certificate link; the recorded Irish locality is not a concrete conflict. This Edinburgh certificate holder remains separate from the other James records. Glasgow-4124 and other chronologically compatible profiles have no certificate bridge. Glasgow-804’s exact recorded May 1788 death conflicts with an issued-since-September-1789 certificate if the death is correctly attributed; Glasgow-1144’s estimated c.1793 death is not a precise boundary. No relationship change follows.

Pre-1800 original newspapers, 5 October 2026

James Glascow, master of Greenwich Packet: possible, weaker. Estimated c.1720 birth is chronologically plausible; no death or maritime evidence recorded. Glasgow-4124 is a possible occupational comparison with a 1733 mariner record, separated by 44 years. No likely identity is proved, and no link to the 1757 addressee or Irish James records is established. No parent, spouse or migration amendment follows.

Pre-1800 original newspapers, 5 October 2026

James Glascow, Fogs Manor postal addressee: possible, weaker. Estimated c.1720 birth is chronologically plausible; no death or maritime evidence recorded. The postal record states no occupation. No existing person is identified. The postal addressee, 1777 shipmaster and Irish James occurrences remain separate; the record gives no maritime occupation. No parent, spouse or migration amendment follows.

What the records show

Source findings, 5 October 2026

5 October 2026 candidate review: Estimated birth c. 1720 and Tyrone context leave a possible namesake; age differs and no Omagh bridge is known. James Glasco of Omagh’s 1786 marriage and 1793 business notices are retained as documentary evidence. This profile is a possible candidate; no spouse, parent, occupation or place is attached. The 1786 groom and 1793 contact are probably the same man, with no proved profile bridge.

W. Macafee, 1740 Ulster religious returns, records 14391, 14393, 14466 and 14571, PDF p. 119	Two James and two William Glasgow householders in Derryloran.	Direct for the four households; identity with James-2988 unproved.

Source findings

James Glascow, Fogs Manor, is listed among letters remaining in the Philadelphia post office. Fogs Manor is preserved as printed. “Phil. Co.” is in the separate left-hand A column and is not assigned to James in the right-hand G column. Postal addressee only; occupation, exact jurisdiction and family are unstated. No identity bridge to the 1777 master or Irish James records. The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1757-04-07, p.1

Source findings

Greenwich Packet: James Glascow, master; James Young, owner; from Philadelphia to Winyew, Carolina; with rum, bread, flour and porter. Three issues preserve the same vessel-list passage. The visible heading is “By the Orpheus and Daphne”; no overall heading or explicit genre label was found in the inspected area. The purpose of the list remains unresolved. The destination spelling is uncertain and not normalized. The owner is James Young, not James Glascow. The Public Advertiser, 1777-05-14, p.2, The Ipswich Journal, 1777-05-17, p.1, The Gloucester Journal, 1777-05-19, p.1

Source findings

James Glasgow, Esq., Edinburgh, appears in the Mid-Lothian game-duty list of certificates issued since 8 September 1789. Entry reads Glasgow, James, Esq; Edinburgh. The list concerns issued game certificates, not a dated shooting event or a family relationship. Date scope is the list heading, not an exact certificate date. The clipping has a disclosed contrast adjustment, without reconstruction. The Edinburgh Advertiser, 1789-12-11, p.8

Source findingsFindmypast sweep — 7 October 2026

Index discrepancy: Findmypast's index of the 1740 Protestant Householders (PRONI T808/1528 and T716/9) has only three Derryloran Glasgow households: James (1) Glasgo, James (2) Glasgo and William Glasgow (IRE/PRONI/1740PH/G/00357, 00358, 00361). Macafee's transcription has four, with two Williams. The next index number, 00362, is John Glask of Clogh, County Antrim. Before relying on the count of four, check the second William against the original return.
Known, confirmed: the 1766 index gives James (1) Glasgo, James (2) Glasgo and John Glasgo at Drumearn, Sam at Gortin and William at Killycurragh (Derryloran), with James Glasgow at Corvanaghan, Kildress (IRE/PRONI/1766RC/G/00419–00423, 00426). The 1775 Dissenters' Petition has James Glasgow, Cookstown Congregation (PRONI T808/15307; IRE/PRONI/1775DP/G/00118). None of these gives an age or relatives.

Searches that found nothing

Findmypast has no Glasgow record for Derryloran or Kildress between the 1775 petition and the 1834 Valuation Office field books, apart from the 1825 Cookstown executors' notice (see Glasgow-2656). Nothing found matches a later Cookstown profile to a particular 1740 householder.

Identity and family

Identity reassessmentThe 1766 Corvanaghan occurrence cannot uniquely identify this profile.

The 1766 Corvanaghan occurrence cannot uniquely identify this profile. The original Kildress return is National Archives of Ireland IHP/1/667, not the Derryloran return IHP/1/665. It names Protestant householder James Glasgow at Corvanaghan and supplies no age, wife, children or occupation. WikiTree already represents that record with Glasgow-3137.

Glasgow-2988 may be the same man as Glasgow-3137, but the profile's c. 1720 birth, Derryloran/Cookstown placement and attached sons Glasgow-2989 and Glasgow-2990 are not established by the Kildress return.

Glasgow-2988 is also a credible possible duplicate of Glasgow-1024, the profile representing the reported father “James Glasgow of Moneymore.” Corvanaghan lies about nine miles west of Moneymore, the chronology is compatible, and no post-1766 Irish record has been identified for the Corvanaghan householder. These facts prevent exclusion but do not establish identity.

The 1826 Kildress tithe list includes David and John Glasgow at Muntober, John at Whitehill and William at Oritor, but no Glasgow occupier at Corvanaghan. The gap of sixty years means this cannot distinguish migration from death, movement within Ireland or loss of a tenancy.

Current conclusion: do not treat Glasgow-2988 as the proven Corvanaghan householder or as the proven father of James and John. Mark Glasgow-1024, Glasgow-3137 and Glasgow-1970 as possible duplicates requiring source-level resolution.

Duplicate resolution

Glasgow-3137 was merged into this profile on 20 August 2026. Both profiles represented the Protestant James Glasgow at Corvanaghan in the 1766 Kildress return. The merged biography preserves the original return and its direct archive links. The c. 1720 birth, Derryloran origin and attached sons remain uncertain; they are not supplied by the census.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

The Public Advertiser, 1777-05-14, p.2: no longer a candidate for this profile. 1777 prize list naming James Glascow as master of the Greenwich Packet (owner James Young), Philadelphia to Winyaw, South Carolina. He was a Philadelphia-trade master in wartime. Two dozen namesakes exist, none with any maritime or Philadelphia record, so he cannot be identified.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026The Public Register, or, Freeman's Journal, 1786-09-05, p.3 : no longer a candidate for this profile.

The Public Register, or, Freeman's Journal, 1786-09-05, p.3: no longer a candidate for this profile. Freeman's Journal 5 Sep 1786 marriage: Mr. James Glasco of Omagh, publican, aged 61, to Miss Jane Murray of the same place, aged 16. Neither person has a compatible WikiTree profile with any Omagh link. All existing James namesakes are only possible, and the Dublin carpenter Glasco-148 is now unlikely. Recommend new profiles for James Glasco of Omagh (b. c.1725) and Jane Murray (b. c.1770), linked as spouses.
The Northern Star, 1793-05-11, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. Northern Star 11 and 18 May 1793: the Hope (Abner Lowell master), Londonderry for Newcastle and Philadelphia; freight or passage enquiries to Mr. James Glasco, Omagh (notice signed by Robert Burnside, Londonderry, 25 Apr 1793). Very probably the 1786 Omagh publican. Same identity conclusion as group 1050075355: no existing profile is preferred, and a new profile draft is recommended.
The Northern Star, 1793-05-25, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. Northern Star 25 May 1793: a repeat of the Hope advertisement with the sailing put off; contact still Mr. James Glasco, Omagh. Same conclusion as the 11 and 18 May copies.
The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1757-04-07, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. James Glascow, 'Fogs Manor' (Fagg's Manor, Londonderry Township, Chester County), 1757 Philadelphia letter list. The Chester County tax index shows a James Glascow/Glasgo landholding in Londonderry Township 1739-1740 and taxed in East/West Nottingham 1747-1758, so the addressee is very likely that local man; no WikiTree profile is documented in Chester County. Glasgow-2868 (Cecil County, d. c.1784) is the only regionally compatible profile, still only possible.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

The Edinburgh Advertiser, 1789-12-11, p.8: no longer a candidate for this profile. Dec 1789 Mid-Lothian game-certificate list: 'Glasgow, James, Esq; Edinburgh'. Best lead is James Glasgow (Glasgow-1142), St Vincent planter and brother of Robert of Montgreenan, who died in Calder parish near Edinburgh, but this is unproved.

Other research notes

Comparison with the Cookstown Mitchell family — 20 August 2026The 1879 History of Hillsdale County, Michigan identifies another James Glasgow of the same broad generation.

The 1879 History of Hillsdale County, Michigan identifies another James Glasgow of the same broad generation. It says James and his Mitchell wife moved from Scotland to northern Ireland about 1750 and settled near Cookstown. Their son John later farmed there, and John's sons William and John migrated to Michigan.

Direct source, page 263

This family is represented by Glasgow-1970 -> Glasgow-1968 -> Glasgow-1969 and Glasgow-1967.

The 1766 Corvanaghan householder represented by Glasgow-2988 could be the Mitchell-family James, the father later called "of Moneymore", or another local man. The return does not name a wife or children. Glasgow-2988's attached sons Glasgow-2989 and Glasgow-2990 remain unsupported, so their estimated ages cannot be used to rule in or rule out identity with Glasgow-1970.

No merger is justified yet. The Corvanaghan occurrence remains important because no later Irish record has been located for that man, so Glasgow-2988 also cannot be ruled out as the emigrant father represented by Glasgow-1024.

Birth-estimate audit - 21 August 2026

The live structured birth was corrected to about 1720, uncertain. The 1740 Protestant return identifies James as a householder and defines this profile's identity but supplies no birth year. The earlier before value remains only a strict chronological boundary, not the most useful estimated birth. No biography, relationship, source or other structured field was changed in this audit.

His birth is known only to have occurred before the return was compiled.

== Research Notes ==

=== Identity and family ===

This merged profile represents the single James Glasgow occurrence at Corvanaghan in the 1766 Kildress return. The former profiles [[Glasgow-2988]] and [[Glasgow-2988]] duplicated that record.

The former estimate of birth about 1720, an origin in Derryloran and the attached sons [[Glasgow-2989|James]] and [[Glasgow-2990|John]] are not established by the return. Those relationships remain uncertain.

The 1740 Protestant householders' return names two men called James Glasgow in Derryloran, but gives no townlands, ages or relationships.<ref>W. Macafee, [https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf 1740 Ulster Protestant householders index], Derryloran entries.</ref> The 1766 Derryloran return separately names two men called Jas. Glasgo at Drumearn.<ref>National Archives of Ireland, IHP/1/665, [https://virtualtreasury.ie/item/NAI-IHP-1-665 1766 Derryloran religious return].</ref> None can be identified as this Corvanaghan householder from name alone.

=== Possible duplicates ===

This man is a possible duplicate of [[Glasgow-1024|James Glasgow of Moneymore]], the reported father of Robert Glasgow. Corvanaghan is about nine miles from Moneymore and the chronology is compatible, but no source connects the householder to Mary Harkness, the emigrant siblings, the 1770 compiled immigration entry or the 1804 Pennsylvania naturalisation applicant.

[[Glasgow-1970]] represents a separate family tradition in which James and his Mitchell wife migrated from Scotland to northern Ireland and settled near Cookstown. No record links that couple to Corvanaghan.

The 1826 Kildress tithe list names Glasgow occupiers at Muntober, Whitehill and Oritor, but none at Corvanaghan.<ref>[https://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/tyrone/tithe-applotment-books/parish-of-kildress.php Kildress tithe applotment transcription, 1826].</ref> This sixty-year gap does not prove death or emigration.


=== Comparison with the Cookstown Mitchell family ===

The 1879 ''History of Hillsdale County, Michigan'' identifies another James Glasgow of the same broad generation. It says James and his wife, whose surname was Mitchell, moved from Scotland to northern Ireland about 1750 and settled in County Tyrone near Cookstown. Their son [[Glasgow-1968|John Glasgow]] farmed near Cookstown, and grandsons [[Glasgow-1969|William Glasgow]] and [[Glasgow-1967|John B. Glasgow Jr.]] later settled in Michigan.<ref name="HillsdaleMitchell">''History of Hillsdale County, Michigan'' (Philadelphia: Everts & Abbott, 1879), p. 263, [https://archive.org/details/bad0928.0001.001.umich.edu/page/263/mode/1up page image].</ref> That family is represented on WikiTree by [[Glasgow-1970|James Glasgow]] and [[Mitchell-34480|his Mitchell wife]].

The 1766 return does not identify the Corvanaghan James's wife or children, so it cannot establish that he was the Mitchell-family progenitor. The sons attached to this profile are not independently documented and their estimated ages cannot distinguish the candidates.

No post-1766 Irish occurrence has yet been assigned to the Corvanaghan householder. He therefore also remains a possible, but unproved, duplicate of [[Glasgow-1024|the reported James Glasgow of Moneymore]]. No merger among these profiles is presently supported by a source-level bridge.

== Biography ==

James Glasgow was a Protestant householder at Corvanaghan in Kildress parish, County Tyrone, in 1766.<ref name="Kildress1766">National Archives of Ireland, Parliamentary Return 667, 1766 religious census for Kildress, IHP/1/667, [https://virtualtreasury.ie/item/NAI-IHP-1-667 original return and catalogue]; [https://by2022-prod.adaptcentre.ie/loris/RCBL_23_176.JPG/full/full/0/default.jpg RCB Library MS 23 transcript, p. 176].</ref> The return gives no age, spouse, children, occupation, origin or later history. His birth is known only to have occurred before the return was compiled.

== Research Notes ==

=== Identity and family ===

This merged profile represents the single James Glasgow occurrence at Corvanaghan in the 1766 Kildress return. The former profiles [[Glasgow-2988]] and [[Glasgow-2988]] duplicated that record.

The former estimate of birth about 1720, an origin in Derryloran and the attached sons [[Glasgow-2989|James]] and [[Glasgow-2990|John]] are not established by the return. Those relationships remain uncertain.

The 1740 Protestant householders' return names two men called James Glasgow in Derryloran, but gives no townlands, ages or relationships.<ref>W. Macafee, [https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf 1740 Ulster Protestant householders index], Derryloran entries.</ref> The 1766 Derryloran return separately names two men called Jas. Glasgo at Drumearn.<ref>National Archives of Ireland, IHP/1/665, [https://virtualtreasury.ie/item/NAI-IHP-1-665 1766 Derryloran religious return].</ref> None can be identified as this Corvanaghan householder from name alone.

=== Possible duplicates ===

This man is a possible duplicate of [[Glasgow-1024|James Glasgow of Moneymore]], the reported father of Robert Glasgow. Corvanaghan is about nine miles from Moneymore and the chronology is compatible, but no source connects the householder to Mary Harkness, the emigrant siblings, the 1770 compiled immigration entry or the 1804 Pennsylvania naturalisation applicant.

[[Glasgow-1970]] represents a separate family tradition in which James and his Mitchell wife migrated from Scotland to northern Ireland and settled near Cookstown. No record links that couple to Corvanaghan.

The 1826 Kildress tithe list names Glasgow occupiers at Muntober, Whitehill and Oritor, but none at Corvanaghan.<ref>[https://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/tyrone/tithe-applotment-books/parish-of-kildress.php Kildress tithe applotment transcription, 1826].</ref> This sixty-year gap does not prove death or emigration.


=== Comparison with the Cookstown Mitchell family ===

The 1879 ''History of Hillsdale County, Michigan'' identifies another James Glasgow of the same broad generation. It says James and his wife, whose surname was Mitchell, moved from Scotland to northern Ireland about 1750 and settled in County Tyrone near Cookstown. Their son [[Glasgow-1968|John Glasgow]] farmed near Cookstown, and grandsons [[Glasgow-1969|William Glasgow]] and [[Glasgow-1967|John B. Glasgow Jr.]] later settled in Michigan.<ref name="HillsdaleMitchell">''History of Hillsdale County, Michigan'' (Philadelphia: Everts & Abbott, 1879), p. 263, [https://archive.org/details/bad0928.0001.001.umich.edu/page/263/mode/1up page image].</ref> That family is represented on WikiTree by [[Glasgow-1970|James Glasgow]] and [[Mitchell-34480|his Mitchell wife]].

The 1766 return does not identify the Corvanaghan James's wife or children, so it cannot establish that he was the Mitchell-family progenitor. The sons attached to this profile are not independently documented and their estimated ages cannot distinguish the candidates.

No post-1766 Irish occurrence has yet been assigned to the Corvanaghan householder. He therefore also remains a possible, but unproved, duplicate of [[Glasgow-1024|the reported James Glasgow of Moneymore]]. No merger among these profiles is presently supported by a source-level bridge.

Research notes as originally written

Current conclusion

James belongs in a Derryloran research complex, not a two-person standalone.
The 1740 return contains two James and two William Glasgow households in the
parish, but it does not identify this James or name his children.

Source findings

5 October 2026 candidate review: Estimated birth c. 1720 and Tyrone context leave a possible namesake; age differs and no Omagh bridge is known. [James Glasco of Omagh’s 1786 marriage and 1793 business notices](/research/subjects/newspapers-early-glasgow/#james-glasco-omagh) are retained as documentary evidence. This profile is a possible candidate; no spouse, parent, occupation or place is attached. The 1786 groom and 1793 contact are probably the same man, with no proved profile bridge.


| Source | Finding | Assessment |
| --- | --- | --- |
| W. Macafee, [1740 Ulster religious returns, records 14391, 14393, 14466 and 14571, PDF p. 119](https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf) | Two James and two William Glasgow householders in Derryloran. | Direct for the four households; identity with James-2988 unproved. |

Identity reassessment

The 1766 Corvanaghan occurrence cannot uniquely identify this profile. The original Kildress return is National Archives of Ireland `IHP/1/667`, not the Derryloran return `IHP/1/665`. It names Protestant householder James Glasgow at Corvanaghan and supplies no age, wife, children or occupation. WikiTree already represents that record with [Glasgow-3137](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3137).

Glasgow-2988 may be the same man as Glasgow-3137, but the profile's c. 1720 birth, Derryloran/Cookstown placement and attached sons [Glasgow-2989](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-2989) and [Glasgow-2990](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-2990) are not established by the Kildress return.

Glasgow-2988 is also a credible possible duplicate of [Glasgow-1024](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1024), the profile representing the reported father “James Glasgow of Moneymore.” Corvanaghan lies about nine miles west of Moneymore, the chronology is compatible, and no post-1766 Irish record has been identified for the Corvanaghan householder. These facts prevent exclusion but do not establish identity.

The 1826 Kildress tithe list includes David and John Glasgow at Muntober, John at Whitehill and William at Oritor, but no Glasgow occupier at Corvanaghan. The gap of sixty years means this cannot distinguish migration from death, movement within Ireland or loss of a tenancy.

**Current conclusion:** do not treat Glasgow-2988 as the proven Corvanaghan householder or as the proven father of James and John. Mark Glasgow-1024, Glasgow-3137 and Glasgow-1970 as possible duplicates requiring source-level resolution.

Duplicate resolution

`Glasgow-3137` was merged into this profile on 20 August 2026. Both profiles
represented the Protestant James Glasgow at Corvanaghan in the 1766 Kildress
return. The merged biography preserves the original return and its direct
archive links. The c. 1720 birth, Derryloran origin and attached sons remain
uncertain; they are not supplied by the census.

Comparison with the Cookstown Mitchell family — 20 August 2026

The 1879 *History of Hillsdale County, Michigan* identifies another James Glasgow of the same broad generation. It says James and his Mitchell wife moved from Scotland to northern Ireland about 1750 and settled near Cookstown. Their son John later farmed there, and John's sons William and John migrated to Michigan.

[Direct source, page 263](https://archive.org/details/bad0928.0001.001.umich.edu/page/263/mode/1up)

This family is represented by Glasgow-1970 -> Glasgow-1968 -> Glasgow-1969 and Glasgow-1967.

The 1766 Corvanaghan householder represented by Glasgow-2988 could be the Mitchell-family James, the father later called "of Moneymore", or another local man. The return does not name a wife or children. Glasgow-2988's attached sons Glasgow-2989 and Glasgow-2990 remain unsupported, so their estimated ages cannot be used to rule in or rule out identity with Glasgow-1970.

No merger is justified yet. The Corvanaghan occurrence remains important because no later Irish record has been located for that man, so Glasgow-2988 also cannot be ruled out as the emigrant father represented by Glasgow-1024.

Birth-estimate audit - 21 August 2026

The live structured birth was corrected to **about 1720, uncertain**. The 1740 Protestant return identifies James as a householder and defines this profile's identity but supplies no birth year. The earlier `before` value remains only a strict chronological boundary, not the most useful estimated birth. No biography, relationship, source or other structured field was changed in this audit.

Current conclusion — pre-1800 original newspapers, 5 October 2026

James Glascow, Fogs Manor postal addressee: possible, weaker. Estimated c.1720 birth is chronologically plausible; no death or maritime evidence recorded. The postal record states no occupation. No existing person is identified. The postal addressee, 1777 shipmaster and Irish James occurrences remain separate; the record gives no maritime occupation. No parent, spouse or migration amendment follows.

Source findings

James Glascow, Fogs Manor, is listed among letters remaining in the Philadelphia post office. Fogs Manor is preserved as printed. “Phil. Co.” is in the separate left-hand A column and is not assigned to James in the right-hand G column. Postal addressee only; occupation, exact jurisdiction and family are unstated. No identity bridge to the 1777 master or Irish James records. [The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1757-04-07, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/39395391/)

Next questions

Identify the historical Fogs Manor address from contemporary postal, land and tax records; compare original family evidence before assigning a profile.

Current conclusion — pre-1800 original newspapers, 5 October 2026

James Glascow, master of Greenwich Packet: possible, weaker. Estimated c.1720 birth is chronologically plausible; no death or maritime evidence recorded. Glasgow-4124 is a possible occupational comparison with a 1733 mariner record, separated by 44 years. No likely identity is proved, and no link to the 1757 addressee or Irish James records is established. No parent, spouse or migration amendment follows.

Source findings

Greenwich Packet: James Glascow, master; James Young, owner; from Philadelphia to Winyew, Carolina; with rum, bread, flour and porter. Three issues preserve the same vessel-list passage. The visible heading is “By the Orpheus and Daphne”; no overall heading or explicit genre label was found in the inspected area. The purpose of the list remains unresolved. The destination spelling is uncertain and not normalized. The owner is James Young, not James Glascow. [The Public Advertiser, 1777-05-14, p.2](https://www.newspapers.com/image/34421452/), [The Ipswich Journal, 1777-05-17, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/396765804/), [The Gloucester Journal, 1777-05-19, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/971522063/)

Next questions

Check the report’s overall heading, prize/admiralty records and original vessel/master papers. Bridge to any profile by residence, signatures or family evidence.

Current conclusion — postal and certificate originals, 5 October 2026

James Glasgow, Edinburgh game certificate, 1789: Birth c.1720, estimated, County Tyrone; death not recorded. Chronologically possible with no Edinburgh/certificate link; the recorded Irish locality is not a concrete conflict. This Edinburgh certificate holder remains separate from the other James records. Glasgow-4124 and other chronologically compatible profiles have no certificate bridge. Glasgow-804’s exact recorded May 1788 death conflicts with an issued-since-September-1789 certificate if the death is correctly attributed; Glasgow-1144’s estimated c.1793 death is not a precise boundary. No relationship change follows.

Source findings

James Glasgow, Esq., Edinburgh, appears in the Mid-Lothian game-duty list of certificates issued since 8 September 1789. Entry reads Glasgow, James, Esq; Edinburgh. The list concerns issued game certificates, not a dated shooting event or a family relationship. Date scope is the list heading, not an exact certificate date. The clipping has a disclosed contrast adjustment, without reconstruction. [The Edinburgh Advertiser, 1789-12-11, p.8](https://www.newspapers.com/image/601822968/)

Next questions

Compare original local tax, land, probate and institutional records, preserving the list’s stated role; check plausible catalogue profiles before an identity or relationship change.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

- [The Public Advertiser, 1777-05-14, p.2](https://www.newspapers.com/image/34421452/): no longer a candidate for this profile. 1777 prize list naming James Glascow as master of the Greenwich Packet (owner James Young), Philadelphia to Winyaw, South Carolina. He was a Philadelphia-trade master in wartime. Two dozen namesakes exist, none with any maritime or Philadelphia record, so he cannot be identified.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

- [The Public Register, or, Freeman's Journal, 1786-09-05, p.3](https://www.newspapers.com/image/1050075355/): no longer a candidate for this profile. Freeman's Journal 5 Sep 1786 marriage: Mr. James Glasco of Omagh, publican, aged 61, to Miss Jane Murray of the same place, aged 16. Neither person has a compatible WikiTree profile with any Omagh link. All existing James namesakes are only possible, and the Dublin carpenter Glasco-148 is now unlikely. Recommend new profiles for James Glasco of Omagh (b. c.1725) and Jane Murray (b. c.1770), linked as spouses.
- [The Northern Star, 1793-05-11, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/72021067/): no longer a candidate for this profile. Northern Star 11 and 18 May 1793: the Hope (Abner Lowell master), Londonderry for Newcastle and Philadelphia; freight or passage enquiries to Mr. James Glasco, Omagh (notice signed by Robert Burnside, Londonderry, 25 Apr 1793). Very probably the 1786 Omagh publican. Same identity conclusion as group 1050075355: no existing profile is preferred, and a new profile draft is recommended.
- [The Northern Star, 1793-05-25, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/72021100/): no longer a candidate for this profile. Northern Star 25 May 1793: a repeat of the Hope advertisement with the sailing put off; contact still Mr. James Glasco, Omagh. Same conclusion as the 11 and 18 May copies.
- [The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1757-04-07, p.1](https://www.newspapers.com/image/39395391/): no longer a candidate for this profile. James Glascow, 'Fogs Manor' (Fagg's Manor, Londonderry Township, Chester County), 1757 Philadelphia letter list. The Chester County tax index shows a James Glascow/Glasgo landholding in Londonderry Township 1739-1740 and taxed in East/West Nottingham 1747-1758, so the addressee is very likely that local man; no WikiTree profile is documented in Chester County. Glasgow-2868 (Cecil County, d. c.1784) is the only regionally compatible profile, still only possible.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

- [The Edinburgh Advertiser, 1789-12-11, p.8](https://www.newspapers.com/image/601822968/): no longer a candidate for this profile. Dec 1789 Mid-Lothian game-certificate list: 'Glasgow, James, Esq; Edinburgh'. Best lead is James Glasgow (Glasgow-1142), St Vincent planter and brother of Robert of Montgreenan, who died in Calder parish near Edinburgh, but this is unproved.

Source findings

### Findmypast sweep — 7 October 2026
- **Index discrepancy:** Findmypast's index of the 1740 Protestant Householders (PRONI T808/1528 and T716/9) has only **three** Derryloran Glasgow households: James (1) Glasgo, James (2) Glasgo and William Glasgow (IRE/PRONI/1740PH/G/00357, 00358, 00361). Macafee's transcription has four, with two Williams. The next index number, 00362, is John Glask of Clogh, County Antrim. Before relying on the count of four, check the second William against the original return.
- **Known, confirmed:** the 1766 index gives James (1) Glasgo, James (2) Glasgo and John Glasgo at Drumearn, Sam at Gortin and William at Killycurragh (Derryloran), with James Glasgow at Corvanaghan, Kildress (IRE/PRONI/1766RC/G/00419–00423, 00426). The 1775 Dissenters' Petition has James Glasgow, Cookstown Congregation (PRONI T808/15307; IRE/PRONI/1775DP/G/00118). None of these gives an age or relatives.

### Searches that found nothing
- Findmypast has no Glasgow record for Derryloran or Kildress between the 1775 petition and the 1834 Valuation Office field books, apart from the 1825 Cookstown executors' notice (see Glasgow-2656). Nothing found matches a later Cookstown profile to a particular 1740 householder.
