John Glasgow
c. 9 July 1648
Mid Calder, Midlothian, Scotland
About John
John Glasgow (Glasgow-1084) is ruled out as the father named in the cited baptism. The 9 July 1648 Mid Calder entry identifies the child's father as Jamis Glasgow, and the live tree now attaches James Glasgow (Glasgow-3332). Whether Glasgow-3332 is the correct identity of that Jamis remains a separate question; a man named John cannot replace the recorded father.
