About George

The original 1713 General Synod roll names Geo: Glasgow in the ruling-elder column beside minister Thomas Miligan. The pair appears under Tyrone Presbytery; Bolton's later congregation index identifies their congregation as Keady, County Armagh. Presbytery jurisdiction must not be mistaken for residence in County Tyrone.

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

No record identifies George's parents, spouse or children or connects him to Thomas-3556 or Nathaniel-1136. Because he was already a ruling elder in 1713, father, uncle or older cousin is at least as plausible as brother. Remove any specific grandson of George suggestion unsupported by another source.

What the records show

Source findings

Source	Finding	Assessment
Records of the General Synod of Ulster, vol. 1, 1713 roll	Thomas Miligan and `Geo: Glasgow` appear under Tyrone Presbytery; George is explicitly in the ruling-elder column.	Contemporary published transcription proving name, office and ecclesiastical grouping; no family is named.
Charles Knowles Bolton, Scotch Irish Pioneers	Maps the Miligan-Glasgow pair to Keady, County Armagh.	Derivative congregation index; useful for locality, subordinate to the original Synod roll.

Other research notes

Cautions

Keady, County Armagh, is not the Keady in County Donegal sometimes claimed for Nathaniel's birthplace.
Before 1693 is only an adult-by-1713 working birth bound, not a recorded birth.

Current conclusion

The original 1713 General Synod roll names **Geo: Glasgow** in the ruling-elder
column beside minister Thomas Miligan. The pair appears under Tyrone Presbytery;
Bolton's later congregation index identifies their congregation as Keady,
**County Armagh**. Presbytery jurisdiction must not be mistaken for residence in
County Tyrone.

No record identifies George's parents, spouse or children or connects him to
Thomas-3556 or Nathaniel-1136. Because he was already a ruling elder in 1713,
father, uncle or older cousin is at least as plausible as brother. Remove any
specific `grandson of George` suggestion unsupported by another source.

Cautions

- Keady, County Armagh, is not the Keady in County Donegal sometimes claimed
  for Nathaniel's birthplace.
- `Before 1693` is only an adult-by-1713 working birth bound, not a recorded birth.
- Search `Glasgow`, `Glascow`, `Glascoe` and `Glassgow` variants.
