About James
No record has yet been securely identified with this person in this research. A list of John Cassell's tea agents printed in the Sligo Champion and the Fermanagh Mail in 1849, which names James Glasgow, merchant, Cookstown, was considered and withdrawn as a candidate on 6 October 2026 because that man cannot be told apart from several James Glasgows of Cookstown.
