John Glasgow

Biography
John Glasgow is represented here with an uncertain birth boundary before 1540 and an uncertain association with Glasgow, Lanarkshire. His documented or proposed Ayrshire locations—Burrowland, Dalgarven, Kilwinning and Corsankell—are retained as evidence leads, but the records do not yet prove that every occurrence belonged to one man.
Burrowland and Dalgarven
The Cunninghame teind material for 1559-60 lists a John Glasgow at Burrowland and a joint holding of John Glasgow and Agnes Wilson at Dalgarven. Margaret H. B. Sanderson, The People of Sixteenth Century Ayrshire, Ayrshire Collections, vol. 14, no. 8 (Ayrshire Archaeological and Natural History Society, 1987), appendix “The Cunninghame Teind Lists of 1559-60,” p. 331 (https://aanhs.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/people-of-ayrshire.pdf#page=36). Sanderson cites Scottish Record Office, Register of Acts and Decreets, vol. 22, fols. 102v-167v. See also A Short History of Kilwinning Parish (https://www.kilwinningheritage.org.uk/office/resources/documents/a-short-history-of-kilwinning-parish-2nd-ed.pdf). The transcription does not call Agnes John's wife and does not prove that the Burrowland and Dalgarven occurrences were the same John.

Agnes Wilson is therefore retained as an uncertain spouse candidate. Burrowland and Dalgarven remain plausible locations for the Kilwinning reconstruction, not proved birth or death places.
Corsankell working identification
On 9 February 1571, letters of reversion concerning the 40-shilling land of Corsankell identified James Glasgow and John Glasgow as sons of James Glasgow elder, an occupier there. National Records of Scotland, Charter Chest of the Earls of Glencairn, GD39/5/59 (https://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/details.aspx?reference=GD39%2F5%2F59), letters of reversion concerning the 40-shilling land of Corsankell, 9 February 1571. This directly proves the relationship for the John named at Corsankell. It does not prove that the Corsankell son was the same man as the John or Johns recorded at Burrowland and Dalgarven in 1559-60.

Glasgow-3193 is retained as a plausible working match to the Corsankell son. James elder remains attached as an uncertain father, not a proved parent of this Kilwinning reconstruction. If the identification is correct, James Glasgow younger was probably John's brother; that sibling conclusion remains dependent on the same unresolved identity bridge.

Earlier research proposed Robert Glasgow, fisher and burgess of Glasgow, as John's father, and still earlier associated the profile with John Glasgow and Jonet Spreull through a Glasgow-burgh protocol naming “Johne Glasgw yonger.” Protocol Books of the Town Clerks of Glasgow, entry dated 8 January 1570, naming “Johne Glasgw yonger,” son of “Johne Glasgw”; volume and folio remain to be confirmed. No property sequence or other record connects either burgh hypothesis to the Ayrshire man, so both are retained only as rejected former hypotheses and are not structured parents.
Research Notes
* Working father: James Glasgow elder, uncertain.
* Probable brother: James Glasgow younger, only if the Kilwinning man was the Corsankell son.
* Working spouse: Agnes Wilson, uncertain; the teind list records joint occupancy, not a stated marriage.
* Birth and death places remain uncertain. Corsankell is a documented residence of the record-proved son John in 1571, not a proved birth or death place for this profile.
* The structured death boundary after 1559 is retained. If the Corsankell match is correct, John was alive on 9 February 1571.
* Further evidence should connect Burrowland or Dalgarven with Corsankell before any relationship is treated as certain.

Glasgow-3193 is retained as a plausible working match to the Corsankell son. James elder remains attached as an '''uncertain''' father, not a proved parent of this Kilwinning reconstruction. If the identification is correct, [[Glasgow-3921|James Glasgow younger]] was probably John's brother; that sibling conclusion remains dependent on the same unresolved identity bridge.

Earlier research proposed [[Glasgow-1096|Robert Glasgow]], fisher and burgess of Glasgow, as John's father, and still earlier associated the profile with [[Glasgow-1093|John Glasgow]] and [[Spreull-4|Jonet Spreull]] through a Glasgow-burgh protocol naming “Johne Glasgw yonger.”<ref name="Protocol1570">''Protocol Books of the Town Clerks of Glasgow'', entry dated 8 January 1570, naming “Johne Glasgw yonger,” son of “Johne Glasgw”; volume and folio remain to be confirmed.</ref> No property sequence or other record connects either burgh hypothesis to the Ayrshire man, so both are retained only as rejected former hypotheses and are not structured parents.
