William Glasgow
c. 1720 (estimated) – 1 November 1738
Kilclone, County Meath, Ireland
About William
William Glasco was a son of Patrick Glasco and a brother of James and Richard Glasco, and died on 1 November 1738, aged about seven, according to the Kilclone memorial erected by his brother James. The inscription, known from a transcription published in 1892, is taken as proof of the death date and of the parent and sibling relationships. His age is printed with a query, so his calculated birth about 1731 is uncertain; his father Patrick died in May 1754 aged 60.
