James Glasgow

Biography
James Glasgow was an Irish landowner and esquire of Aughadenvarn, County Leitrim, Ireland. His dates of birth and death are currently unknown, although he was probably born during the 18th century.

James was married, but his wife's name has not been identified.

James and his wife had at least one known child:

* Jemima Glasgow, born in County Leitrim. She married James Montgomery of Sea-View, County Donegal, on 1 January 1806.

Daughter's Marriage
Jemima Glasgow's marriage connected the Glasgow family of Aughadenvarn with the Montgomery family of Sea-View and the Hall, a County Donegal branch which published pedigrees traced to the Montgomeries of Eglinton in Ayrshire, Scotland.

(https://archive.org/details/genealogicalhist00mont/page/121/mode/1up) 

Her husband, James Montgomery, was born on 1 March 1771 and was associated with Sea-View, County Donegal. He was the second son of Alexander Montgomery of the Hall and Mary Allen of the Castle Dobbs family of County Antrim. 

James Montgomery's elder brother was Sir Henry-Conyngham Montgomery, an East India Company cavalry officer, Member of Parliament and the first Montgomery Baronet of the Hall. He was created a baronet on 3 October 1808. 

The marriage therefore placed Jemima Glasgow within the immediate family of a newly created baronetcy and linked the Glasgows to a landed Montgomery family with military, parliamentary and East India Company connections.
Children
James and Jemima Montgomery had at least two known children:

* Jemima Montgomery, born at Sea-View, County Donegal, on 23 October 1807. 
* Conyngham Montgomery, born on 2 January 1809. 
Granddaughter: Baroness von Tautphoeus
James Glasgow's granddaughter, Jemima Montgomery, became significant as both a member of the Bavarian nobility and a published novelist.

On 29 January 1838, she married Cajetan Joseph Friedrich, Baron von Tautphoeus, of Marquartstein in Bavaria. He was a Bavarian government official and chamberlain to the King of Bavaria.

(https://www.newulsterbiography.co.uk/index.php/home/viewPerson/1924) 

Through this marriage, James Glasgow's granddaughter became Baroness von Tautphoeus and spent most of her later life in Bavaria. She became known for English-language novels depicting Bavarian society, customs and scenery. 

Her published works included:

* The Initials (1850)
* Cyrilla (1853)
* Quits (1857)
* At Odds (1863)

The Initials became particularly popular, and William Makepeace Thackeray reportedly regarded her novels as among the best English-language representations of German life. 

Jemima and Baron von Tautphoeus had one known son:

* Rudolf Edgeworth Joseph von Tautphoeus, born 20 November 1838; died 1 November 1885. He entered Bavarian diplomatic service and became the Bavarian minister at Rome. 

Baron von Tautphoeus died shortly after their son, on 14 November 1885. Jemima died at Munich on 12 November 1893. 
Montgomery Pedigree
The published pedigree of James Montgomery of Sea-View is given as follows:

* Hugh Montgomerie, 1st Earl of Eglinton
** William Montgomerie of Greenfield
*** Hugh Montgomerie of Stane and Auchinhood
**** Hugh Montgomerie of Bowhouse
***** Robert Montgomerie
****** Married a woman described in the pedigree as “Miss Mackwatersa of Maybole”
****** Moved from Scotland to Ireland
****** Robert Montgomery of Bonyglen, born at Rosemount in 1660
******* Married an unnamed daughter of the Rev. Alexander Conyngham, Dean of Raphoe
******* Alexander Montgomery of Bonyglen, born 1700; died 1748
******** Married Anne Phillips, daughter of the Rev. Ralph Phillips, Rector of Killymard
******** The Rev. James Montgomery of Bonyglen, born 1726
********* Archdeacon of Raphoe
********* Married Dora Coddington, daughter of Nicholas Coddington of Drogheda
******** Alexander Montgomery of the Hall, born 1727
********* Captain in the 62nd Regiment

********** First Baronet of the Hall
********* James Montgomery of Sea-View, born 1 March 1771; died in 1832
********** Married Jemima Glasgow on 1 January 1806
*********** Jemima Montgomery, born 23 October 1807; died 12 November 1893
************ Married Cajetan Joseph Friedrich, Baron von Tautphoeus, on 29 January 1838
************* Rudolf Edgeworth Joseph von Tautphoeus, born 20 November 1838; died 1 November 1885
*********** Conyngham Montgomery, born 2 January 1809
********* Martha Montgomery
********** Married Anthony Coane of Higginstown, County Donegal
********* Anne Montgomery
********** Married the Rev. John Hawkins, son of the Bishop of Raphoe
Baronetcy Connection
Sir Henry-Conyngham Montgomery, the elder brother of James Montgomery of Sea-View, entered the military service of the East India Company in 1783 and served as a cavalry officer for approximately twenty years. 

During the war against Tipu Sultan, he raised a force of cavalry and served with the combined army under Sir John Floyd. He later became inspecting field officer of yeomanry and volunteers in County Donegal, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. 

He also served as a Member of Parliament and was created a baronet on 3 October 1808. His seat was the Hall, County Donegal. 

Jemima Glasgow was therefore the sister-in-law of the first baronet, and her children were first cousins of the succeeding Montgomery baronets.
Research Notes
The principal direct evidence identifying Jemima Glasgow as James Glasgow's daughter is the entry for the Montgomery baronetcy in Debrett's Baronetage. It records that James Montgomery of Sea-View married “Jemima, daughter of James Glasgow, of Aughadenvarn, County Leitrim, Esquire,” on 1 January 1806. 

The same entry records their children as Jemima, born 23 October 1807, and Conyngham, born 2 January 1809. 

The earlier version of this profile incorrectly gave Alexander Montgomery of the Hall's birth year as 1757. Debrett's Baronetage gives his birth year as 1727, which is consistent with his marriage in 1762. 

The earlier claim that Robert Montgomery of Bonyglyn had six sons also appears to have resulted from a confused or unrelated pedigree. Thomas Harrison Montgomery's published account states that Robert Montgomery of Bonyglen left an only son, Alexander Montgomery, born in 1700. 

The nineteenth-century pedigree describes an ancestor as “Hugh Montgomerie of Auchinhood and Bowhouse.” Contemporary records may distinguish Hugh of Auchinhood from Hugh in Bowhouse, so the intermediate Scottish generations should be treated cautiously until verified from original charters, sasines or probate records.

No record has yet been identified giving:

* James Glasgow's birth or death dates;
* his wife's identity;
* any children other than Jemima; or
* details of his ownership or occupation at Aughadenvarn beyond his description as an esquire.
