James Glasgow

Biography
James Glasgow was born about 1776 and died in 1866 at Cookstown, County Tyrone, Ireland. His birth year is approximate.

At present, little else can be stated securely about his life. A number of earlier probate records for men named James Glasgow survive in County Tyrone and neighbouring County Londonderry. Several occur in or near the Cookstown area, but none has yet been proved to refer to this James Glasgow.
Same-name probate records
The following records are relevant to research into James Glasgow families in the Cookstown district and surrounding area. They are listed here as comparison records only.

* 1794 — Drummon, County Tyrone. A James Glasgow appears in the PRONI pre-1858 wills and administrations index with a residence recorded as Drummon. Drummond in the Derryloran/Cookstown locality is a possible modern identification, but this remains provisional. PRONI Names, Pre-1858 Wills and Admons: James Glasgow, Drummond, County Tyrone, 19 December 1794 (https://apps.proni.gov.uk/ProniNames_IE/SearchPage.aspx). 

* 1807 — Drumcarn, County Tyrone. A James Glasgow is recorded with a residence at Drumcarn. The historical place-name has not yet been securely matched to a modern townland. PRONI Names, Pre-1858 Wills and Admons: James Glasgow, Drumcarn, County Tyrone, 1807 (https://apps.proni.gov.uk/ProniNames_IE/SearchPage.aspx). 

* 1820 — Drumeen, County Londonderry. A James Glasgow is recorded at Drumeen. The county designation suggests Drummeen townland near Moneymore. PRONI Names, Pre-1858 Wills and Admons: James Glasgow, Drumeen, County Londonderry, 1820 (https://apps.proni.gov.uk/ProniNames_IE/SearchPage.aspx). 

* 1822 — Drumeen. James Glasgow, described as a farmer, appears in an Armagh Diocesan Administration Bond at Drumeen. PRONI Names, Armagh Diocesan Administration Bonds: James Glasgow, farmer, Drumeen, 1822 (https://apps.proni.gov.uk/ProniNames_IE/SearchPage.aspx). The locality may be the same Drummeen represented by the 1820 entry, but whether the two records concern the same man is unproved.

* 1826 — Oritor. James Glasgow, described as a gentleman, appears in an Armagh Diocesan Administration Bond at Oritor, County Tyrone. PRONI Names, Armagh Diocesan Administration Bonds: James Glasgow, gentleman, Oritor, 1826 (https://apps.proni.gov.uk/ProniNames_IE/SearchPage.aspx). Oritor forms part of a recurring cluster of Glasgow records west of Cookstown.

* 1831 — Cookstown, County Tyrone. A James Glasgow appears in the PRONI wills and administrations index with a residence at Cookstown. PRONI Names, Pre-1858 Wills and Admons: James Glasgow, Cookstown, County Tyrone, 1831 (https://apps.proni.gov.uk/ProniNames_IE/SearchPage.aspx). The locality makes the record relevant to this profile, but it does not establish that the individual was the James Glasgow who died there in 1866.

* 1836 — Killycarragh/Killycurragh, County Tyrone. A James Glasgow is recorded at Killycarragh. PRONI Names, Pre-1858 Wills and Admons: James Glasgow, Killycarragh, 1836 (https://apps.proni.gov.uk/ProniNames_IE/SearchPage.aspx). The place is provisionally identified with Killycurragh in the Oritor/Derryloran locality, close to the other Cookstown-area occurrences.

Taken together, these records show that several men named James Glasgow were present in the wider Cookstown–Moneymore area during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. They should not be combined into a single biography without further evidence.
Research Notes
The profile birth year of about 1776 is uncertain. It should not be derived from the 1794 probate entry unless that record can first be shown to concern this James Glasgow.

The earlier probate records may represent several different men. In particular, differences in residence, date and descriptions such as farmer and gentleman should be treated as evidence requiring reconciliation rather than assumed variations in one man's record.

No parent, spouse or child should be attached to this profile unless a source explicitly identifies the relationship.

Possible connections to James Glasgow, James Glasgow or other earlier Glasgow families remain unproved.
