| *Londonderry Sentinel*, 8 October 1831, p. 3, article 44, row 97; Loughinshollen list heading; original-image audit | In the published list of notices for freehold registration at the Magherafelt General Sessions on 2 January 1832, Adam Glasgow, Innisrush claimed Houses and Lands in Innisrush, barony of Loughinsholin, valued at £10. His notice is dated 3 October 1831. | First direct evidence defining Adam's claimed legal interest in the Inishrush farm. It does not name a landlord, lease, predecessor, relative or measuring life, and the notice alone does not prove that registration was accepted. |
| PRONI `D1201/53` source audit, 14 April 1853 | The Encumbered Estates rental concerns the Hercules and Eliza Ellis estate at Inishrush, Shilling Hill and Drumane. The online collection index returns 35 Inishrush entries but no Glasgow. | This bounds one estate lead but is not a negative result for Adam: the sale covered the Ellis interest, while Inishrush contained several intermixed holdings and different head tenants. |
| WikiTree Glasgow-3905 | Placeholder profile for Adam's unidentified father. | Tree assertion only; it does not identify the father. |
| Tamlaght O'Crilly Lower gravestone | Adam died 30 June 1844 aged 86; wife Rose died 31 July 1833 aged 66. The stone explicitly names daughter Eliza, son James, and grandson William. | Proves Adam's approximate 1758 birth and part of his family, but names no parents. |
| 1831 census householder transcriptions | Adam Glasco headed Inishrush house 91 with three males and five females; John Glasco headed the other Inishrush Glasgow household.

The original return is required before assigning denomination. |
| John Glasgow and Mary Arthur family register, original 1830 census page, Drimbolg history, and 1831 Inishrush census | The Bible gives no place for James's 1823 death. The Ohio census John was aged 40-49, not John aged 63. Glasgow-822's Inishrush history, denomination, age and household fit the Drimbolg elder and 1831 householder. | Strong identity case for John-822 as the separate Inishrush John, but no relationship to Adam or this placeholder is stated.

Glasco, Coltrim reportedly discovered an ancient ladle mill there in 1818; the tithe book lists Robert Glasgow at Coltrim in 1827; and the census records a Robert heading an eleven-person Presbyterian household there in 1831. The tithe book separately lists another Robert at Drumnabragy and John at Drumeen. | The three records provide strong exact-townland continuity for one Coltrim Robert, but no age or kinship. The second parish Robert makes the townland qualifier essential. This later man cannot be merged with candidate Glasgow-550 or connected to Adam without a relational record. Saved source note. |

Record 1272 is immediately before Hugh Ellis and James McCullough and within a sequence containing several surnames independently anchored at Inishrush by the 1734 lease. Both Hugh entries have townland Not specified, and the sequence can cross localities. | Strongest evidence for an earlier local Glasgow generation. Neither 1740 householder can be younger Hugh Glasgow-540 under his broadly supported chronology. The record cannot identify either as Glasgow-548 or as Adam's father.

| Belfast News-Letter extracts, 14 April 1772 | Hugh Glasgow was among people described collectively as inhabitants of Tamlaght O'Crilly parish who surrendered arms to Henry Ellis of Inishrush on 6 April 1772. The notice does not call Hugh an Inishrush resident. | Places a Hugh somewhere in Adam's parish when Adam was about 14, but cannot distinguish the older Hugh, younger Hugh, or another namesake and states no relationship. |
| Same 6 April 1772 declaration, subscriber list | The list also includes Thos. Mulhollan and James Berkley alongside Hugh Glasgow. | This is concrete evidence that Mulhollan and the Berkley/Barkly surname were present in the same Tamlaght O'Crilly community as a Glasgow 75 years before John's 1847 letter. It supports a continuing local network but proves no kinship. McCaivey, not R. Mulhollan, supplied the letter's James/Barkly news. |
| Ireland, 1775 Dissenters' Petitions collection description and PRONI Names index | The surviving Tenison Groves transcripts in T808/15307 cover selected Ulster places. The published location inventory includes Coleraine/Killowen and Londonderry city but not Tamlaght O'Crilly, Kilrea, or the Drimbolg congregation. | This collection cannot test Adam's target parish or the two local Hugh households. A missing Glasgow result would be a coverage gap, not evidence of absence. |
| Ireland, 1766 Religious Census collection description, Roots Ireland County Derry coverage table, and NAI guide | The surviving County Londonderry returns cover ten named parishes, but not Tamlaght O'Crilly, Kilrea, Lissan, or Maghera. | The 1766 census cannot show which 1740 Hugh household survived, identify an adult Robert or Adam, or test whether the Glasgow family remained in the target parish. This is archival non-coverage, not a negative result. |
| Belfast News-Letter, 8 May 1764, transcript | The Vintners/Conolly estate offered the townlands of Inishrush and Inishrush Lile, with other lands, to solvent tenants from 1 November 1764.

The 1780 Inishrush Volunteers notice names only order-signatory Robert Smyth and donor Rowley Heyland; the 1783 four-parish Protestant meeting names only chairman Rev. John Smyth. No Glasgow variant appears in the searchable decade transcripts. | The three lettings define exact lease-transition windows, but none names a tenant.

| Desmond McCourt, *The Rundale System in Ireland* (Queen's University Belfast PhD thesis, 1950), p. 146 and Appendix B.IV no. 7 | McCourt recorded that Inishrush retained intermixed partnership holdings. His Inishrush informant had seen a joint lease dated 1801 held by the Hill, Hastings, Neill and Brattan families in part of the townland. McCourt also cited now-unlocated Bellaghy/Conolly estate maps held in 1950 by Boyd, solicitor, Ballycastle. | Proves that a named 1801 head/joint lease covered only part of Inishrush and did not name a Glasgow. Because rundale land could be occupied in intermixed shares and by families below the head-lease level, this is not proof that Adam was absent. It identifies the estate map/lease provenance and helps separate that holding from any Glasgow holding. Saved thesis: mccourt_rundale_system_ireland_1950.pdf. |

| 1851 Lisnagaver census and John Glasgow-Margaret Garvin marriage, 1846 | The census calls Samuel Glasgow, unmarried linen weaver aged 60, the brother of head John Glasgow. John's original marriage is uniquely matched by Margaret, marriage year, Lisnagaver residence, Rasharkin parish and occupation, and names John's father as John Glasgow, farmer. | Strongly excludes the current attachment of Samuel Glasgow-2908 as Adam's son.

| Daniel Glasgow's original 1871 will and Daniel Neely Glasgow's 1888 civil marriage | Daniel calls Thomas Glasgow his late brother and Daniel Neely Glasgow his nephew; Daniel Neely's marriage names father Thomas Glasgow, farmer, and residence Lisnagaver. | Directly establishes Daniel's sibling relationship to Thomas of Lisnagaver but supplies no parent. It corrects the late tradition that described a clockmaker merely as Thomas's uncle and does not support Daniel's attachment to Adam. Full audits: research/Glasgow-3896/findings.md and research/Glasgow-987/findings.md. |
| Current WikiTree topology compared with Daniel's original will | WikiTree attaches Alexander and Daniel as Adam's sons and Thomas as Alexander's son, but Daniel calls Thomas his brother. | The attachments cannot all be correct: the tree makes Daniel Thomas's uncle.

| Original marriage of James Glasgow and Rosanna Barkley, 17 March 1851 | James, 38, bachelor and farmer of Inishrush, son of farmer Adam Glasgow, married Rosanna Barkley, about 25, farm servant of Tyanee and daughter of farmer Henry Barkley. | The exact James/Henry-daughter/servant/locality match compellingly identifies this couple as the subjects of the 1847 report. It proves a second Adam-and-son-James unit at Inishrush but does not identify that Adam with Glasgow-3902, name the child, or establish any relationship to Alexander Glasgow-951. |
| Same 1851 marriage and the target family's gravestone | The groom was born about 1812/13. Target Adam's gravestone-proved son James was born about 1794 and survived until 1878. | The two Jameses were distinct and concurrently living, making it exceptionally implausible that both were sons of target Adam. The father named in 1851 is therefore a record-defined second Adam, represented by Glasgow-1622; his guessed 1780 Antrim birth and attachment as target Adam's son remain unsupported. |

The previous theory assigning the report to older James Glasgow-3903, with adult Henry as the strongest child candidate, is superseded. First Portglenone minister William Kennedy McKay's marriage licences survive at PRONI as D2594/1; First Kilrea and Drimbolg session books remain possible discipline sources. | Do not create the child or attach the younger James to Adam Glasgow-3902 without another relational record.

| John Glasgow and Mary Arthur U.S. record audit | No inspected U.S. item explicitly names John's parent or brother. However, the child order, repeated descendant use of Adam, corrected migration chronology and 1847 Irish family news provide cumulative indirect evidence that the earlier negative-only summary understated.

No indexed County Londonderry/Inishrush Robert was returned. | The 1738 record definitively excludes the Killwaughter man from identity with a person born about 1737.

It also says the younger Hugh's family left many kin behind when they emigrated in August 1796. It gives Robert no dates, residence, wife, children, occupation, or death. | The Portglenone farm, McCullough marriage, 1740 Ellis/McCullough collector neighbourhood, 1772 Ellis notice, and explicit tradition of collateral kin remaining in Ireland form coherent indirect locality corroboration.

The Army roll records the same officer's 1785 appointment, 1791 exchange to half-pay apothecary, and survival until at least 1825. A recorded 1787 St Vincent letter was addressed to his brother James at Beith, Scotland. | This officer cannot be the man said on WikiTree to have died about 1787. More importantly, his documented West Indian/Scottish context supplies no Adam, Ireland, or Inishrush connection. He is an excluded/unlinked namesake, not evidence for Glasgow-550. Saved Gazette crop, Army roll, and 1787 letter report. |
| Public Glasgow Y-DNA project, FamilyTreeDNA distance method, and 2016 professional report | The project attributes kit N18544 to John Glasgow (1767-1851). From the published STRs, its genetic distance from kit 254947, attributed to Robert Glasgow (born about 1710), is 8 at 67 markers; FamilyTreeDNA's genealogical-match limit is 7. It is distance 4/37 from the James Glasgow 1731 line, at the matching limit. Earliest-ancestor labels are participant-supplied. | Excludes a close paternal relationship between John's tested line and the tested Robert-1710 line, but neither kit represents candidate Robert Glasgow-550. No displayed kit has a proved strict male-line descent from target Adam, so DNA still cannot identify his father. Saved report: legacytree_glasgow_ydna_report_2016.pdf. |
| Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland, 1831 Synod minutes | The original printed roll names James Smyth as Drimbolg's minister and Samuel McEwen as its delegate elder. No Glasgow is named in the synod roll or searchable text. | This does not contradict John's documented attendance as a local elder in 1827: a synod roll records delegates, not a complete congregational session. It supplies no relationship or parent evidence. Saved source: rpci_minutes_synod_1831.pdf. |
County Londonderry church-record inventory, Drumbolg/Drimbolg entry, PRONI MIC1C/15 | The surviving Drimbolg material comprises baptisms 1895-1956, marriages 1864-1925, a session book containing discipline cases for 1809-59, and committee minutes 1887-1919. A published church-history extract names John Glasgow at sessions in 1809 and 1827, but is not a transcript or membership roll. | No surviving Drimbolg baptismal register can record Adam's circa-1758 birth. The 1809-59 session book remains a collateral source that might state adult family relationships; John's appearance does not itself relate him to Adam. Saved inventory: churchrecordsderry.pdf. |
| IGRS Smythe-Wood newspaper abstracts, Londonderry Sentinel death index, and public title searches | No inspectable abstract or issue names Adam's father, brother, birthplace, or earlier residence. Commercial July 1844 issue runs and the NIFHS 1844-69 Coleraine Chronicle CD were inaccessible and were not counted as negative. | The public periodical route remains unresolved, not exhausted. Exact query/coverage audit saved as newspaper_adam_glasgow_audit_2026-07-16.tsv. |
PRONI Freeholders Records, exact surname and Glas* variant searches | The database returns 12 Glasgow rows: James Killycurrough; John Drumgreenagh, Drumcon, and Goston; Robert Loy; Thomas Lislea; and William Craigs, Oritor, and Killycurrough, with duplicates from separate transcripts. It returns no Adam, Glasco, Glasgo, or Glascow. The only County Londonderry row is John Glasgow of Drumcon in D/834/1; its detail and original scan give no parish, date, landlord, relative, or named lease life. | No indexed freeholder entry connects Adam or candidate Robert to Inishrush. An independent Inish* address search returns no Inishrush record, so this is database non-coverage rather than evidence that Adam was not a freeholder. Saved audit, results, and D/834/1 scan. |
