c. 1500 – c. 1500
Scotland
About Alan
Alan is a late-fifteenth-century bearer, not a sixteenth-century Jedburgh man.
Pitcairn's heading 1594-5 is a typographical error: the entry belongs to the
Jedburgh justice ayre of 26 February 1495, within court book NRS JC1/1
(1493-1504). The live structured dates 1500 are still inaccurate estimates.

What the research found
Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
Live recheck on 27 September 2026: the public profile renders those estimates
as birth and death at about age zero and places the death at Jedburgh, although
the proceeding gives neither a birth year nor a death place. An attempt to set
birth and death before 26 February 1495 and clear the unsupported death
place was blocked by WikiTree's Pre-1500 Profiles validation; the draft was
discarded and the live fields remain unchanged. The cited biography and the
individual free-space research page carry the accurate chronology pending a
permitted structured correction.
Father assessment: father not identified. The best genealogical placement is as a possible son, brother or nephew in the generation of John Glasgw of Stirling, active in 1475-80. Chronology and the rare fixed surname support comparison, but the Stirling-Jedburgh geography and absence of any shared associate or kin term prevent choosing an exact relationship. Alan cannot be father of the George Glascoe buried in 1589; the records are separated by 94 years.

Current conclusion
Alan is a late-fifteenth-century bearer, not a sixteenth-century Jedburgh man. Pitcairn's heading `1594-5` is a typographical error: the entry belongs to the Jedburgh justice ayre of 26 February **1495**, within court book NRS JC1/1 (1493-1504). The live structured dates `1500` are still inaccurate estimates. Live recheck on 27 September 2026: the public profile renders those estimates as birth and death at about age zero and places the death at Jedburgh, although the proceeding gives neither a birth year nor a death place. An attempt to set birth and death **before 26 February 1495** and clear the unsupported death place was blocked by WikiTree's `Pre-1500 Profiles` validation; the draft was discarded and the live fields remain unchanged. The cited biography and the individual free-space research page carry the accurate chronology pending a permitted structured correction. Father assessment: **father not identified**. The best genealogical placement is as a possible son, brother or nephew in the generation of [John Glasgw of Stirling](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:John_Glasgw_of_Stirling), active in 1475-80. Chronology and the rare fixed surname support comparison, but the Stirling-Jedburgh geography and absence of any shared associate or kin term prevent choosing an exact relationship. Alan cannot be father of the George Glascoe buried in 1589; the records are separated by 94 years.
