What the research found

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

He is a serious duplicate candidate for Rev. John Glasgow M.A. (Glasgow-1073), about 1653, Kilbirnie: same name, same estimated generation, adjacent parishes, and a last Barbara-family event in January 1689 before the minister married Jean Cunningham in January 1690. The minister had been ordained at Kilbirnie in August 1688, which does not exclude a Kilwinning family event five months later.

The identification remains unproved because neither Fasti nor Paterson mentions Barbara, and the index extracts do not give John's title, trade or residence.

What the records show

Source findings

Source	Finding	Assessment
Kilwinning OPR 599, index citations on Barbara Allison's live profile	John Glasgow and Barbara Alason are associated with a 7 June/6 July 1679 event and son John; a January/February 1689 entry names daughter Jannet and John Glasgow/Allason.	Direct for the local couple and children, but full pages are needed to distinguish John.
Paterson, History of the County of Ayr, pp. 252-253	Rev. John married Jean Cunningham and later Margaret Scott; the account begins its pedigree with him.	Does not mention Barbara; adverse but not conclusive duplicate evidence.
Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, vol. 3, p. 103	Rev. John graduated 1674, was ordained 1688 and died 1721 aged about 68.	Chronology is compatible with the Kilwinning man.

Current conclusion

This profile represents the John Glasgow associated with Barbara Alason/Allason
at Kilwinning in 1679 and 1689. It is not proved that his father was
[John Glasgow (Glasgow-1604)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1604).

He is a serious duplicate candidate for [Rev. John Glasgow M.A. (Glasgow-1073),
about 1653, Kilbirnie](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1073): same name,
same estimated generation, adjacent parishes, and a last Barbara-family event in
January 1689 before the minister married Jean Cunningham in January 1690. The
minister had been ordained at Kilbirnie in August 1688, which does not exclude a
Kilwinning family event five months later.

The identification remains unproved because neither *Fasti* nor Paterson mentions
Barbara, and the index extracts do not give John's title, trade or residence.
