John Glasgow

1794 – 30 April 1849

Derrynoose, Armagh, Ireland

About John

John Glasgow was a farmer recorded in Drumgreenagh townland, Derrynoose parish, County Armagh, in 1839, born about 1794, according to his profile biography; that account, including three daughters whose marriage records name their father as John Glasgow and a reported death on 30 April 1849, has not yet been audited against the records. A 1786 Registry of Deeds memorial for an older John Glasgow of Drumgreenagh, farmer, married to Jane Murphy, concerns a different man, now Glasgow-4031. The shared residence makes a family connection plausible, but the deed names no child and does not prove parentage.

Current conclusion

John Glasgow was a farmer recorded in Drumgreenagh townland, Derrynoose parish, County Armagh, in 1839, born about 1794, according to his profile biography; that account, including three daughters whose marriage records name their father as John Glasgow and a reported death on 30 April 1849, has not yet been audited against the records. A 1786 Registry of Deeds memorial for an older John Glasgow of Drumgreenagh, farmer, married to Jane Murphy, concerns a different man, now Glasgow-4031. The shared residence makes a family connection plausible, but the deed names no child and does not prove parentage.
