Identity and family
Identity assessment — military newspapers, 4 October 2026
The 1811 Royal Artillery George and the 1819 brevet appointee are compatible as one career sequence, but identity is inferred, not stated. Glasgow-3611 (1777–1857), Glasgow-1529 (estimated 1769, death unknown), and Glasgow-3345 (1792, death unknown) remain weak local name/chronology comparisons without a military bridge; dates are profile leads, not newly inspected vital records. The 1811 colonel role makes younger comparisons less persuasive, without supplying an exact age. No profile is assigned. The 1713 Keady ruling elder called R.E. is not identified as a Royal Engineer by these notices.

- Freeman’s Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser, 1811-06-10, p.4: no longer a candidate for this profile. June 1811 brevet list naming Colonel George Glasgow of the Royal Artillery among the new major-generals. He is the artillery general George Glasgow who served in Canada and died in London on 28 Oct 1820, documented by the Dictionary of Canadian Biography. He has no WikiTree profile, and chronology excludes the three Scottish namesakes offered earlier.

September 1819 War Office list naming Major-General George Glasgow of the Royal Artillery among brevet lieutenant-generals. He is the same man as in the 1811 notice: the Royal Artillery general George Glasgow (DCB), d. 1820, who has no WikiTree profile.
