William Glasgow

Biography
William Glasgow, written Will in the derivative chronology, was recorded in 1730 as a son of James Glasgow and Sarah or Sara Murray in the Larne and Kilwaughter Presbyterian register. "Chronology of the Glasgow Family in Northern Ireland in Historical Context" (https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184247/http://lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Kilwaughter/Timeline.html), 1730 household entry and distinct-person list. 

The public Emerald Ancestors index independently lists a male William Glasgow in County Antrim in 1730. Emerald Ancestors, County Antrim birth index (https://www.emeraldancestors.com/northern-ireland-ancestry-search-birth-list?County=Antrim&Forenames=&Surname=Gillis&brideforenames=&bridesurname=&civildistrict=&searchtype=), William Glasgow, 1730. 

A William Glasgow appears among the Larne-area inhabitants who signed a published petition against the Hearts of Steel in April 1772. Blair extracts from the Belfast News-Letter, 1770–1779 (https://www.kinsleuth.com/belnews/1770-1779.htm), 7 April 1772, p. 3, Larne, Kilwaughter and Raloo petition. The chronology identifies the signer as the William born in 1730. This is a reasonable same-name and locality match, but the newspaper supplies no age or relatives.

A Connor wills index lists William Glasgow of Larne in 1783. "Family History Guide: Inver, Kilwaughter and Larne Parishes" (https://studylib.net/doc/7083819/general-information-series), Diocese of Connor wills index, William Glasgow of Larne, 1783. The entry may belong to this William or to the older William Glasgow; it cannot presently be assigned securely.
Research Notes
The chronology's distinct-person list reports that James Glasgow, born about 1775, was buried on the same St Cedma's stone as this William. A different passage on the same page associates James with William born about 1708. The complete inscription has not been recovered, and a shared memorial would not by itself distinguish a son, grandson or collateral relative. James is therefore a useful descendant lead, not a proved child of this William.

No inspected record identifies William's wife or children.

Registry of Deeds memorial 62131 names an adult William Glasgow as an adjoining Larne occupier in March 1736. That occurrence cannot be this William, who was only about six, and belongs to the older Larne identity represented by William Glasgow.

The original Larne and Kilwaughter register survives at PRONI under reference `MIC/1B/6`. Its marriage and baptism entries should be searched before 1769 for William's household.
