About Unknown

William Glasgow was a farmer who witnessed a lease of Cavankilgreen, Carnteel parish, County Tyrone, recorded in Registry of Deeds memorial 113381 on 22 January 1746, a date that may be 1745/6 in Old Style. He is known only from an indexed extract; the memorial image has not been read. An unnamed Glasgow occupied part of the same townland in 1725, and William is a plausible identity for that occupier, but the memorial does not prove it. No record links him to James Glasgow of Drumearn (Glasgow-1025).

What the records show

Source findings — Cavankilgreen lease witness, 22 January 1746

William Glasgow, farmer, witnessed the Cavankilgreen lease recorded in Registry of Deeds memorial 113381 on 22 January 1746 (an indexed extract preserved in the project research files; the memorial image is not cited). Cavankilgreen is in Carnteel parish, County Tyrone. A January date before 1752 may be 1745/6 in Old Style; the extract does not say which.

Assessment: a documentary occurrence known from an indexed extract. An unnamed Glasgow occupied part of the same townland in 1725; William is a plausible identity for that occupier, but the 1746 memorial does not prove it. No record links him to James Glasgow of Drumearn (Glasgow-1025) or identifies him as James's son. The project snapshot and public WikiTree searches on 22 July 2026 found no earlier compatible profile; this profile was created from the draft in this folder.
