George Glasgow R.E

Biography
George Glasgow was a Presbyterian ruling elder associated with the congregation at Keady, County Armagh, Ireland, in 1713.

He appears in material derived from the records of the General Synod of Ulster as:

: George Glasgow, R.E., 1713 — Keady, County Armagh

Here, R.E. denotes ruling elder, a lay office within the Presbyterian church. The entry indicates that George represented or was associated with the Keady congregation at the Synod in 1713.

George’s date and place of birth are not recorded. An estimated birth before 1693 is used here only to allow for him being an adult by 1713. He may have been born considerably earlier.

The Synod entry does not identify his parents, wife, children, occupation outside the church, or exact place of residence. Keady identifies the congregation with which he was associated and should not automatically be treated as his birthplace.

No evidence has yet been found connecting George with the earlier George Glasgow recorded in Dublin, who died in 1676. The chronology demonstrates that they were different men.
Research Notes
* May be a grandson of George Glasgow

Suggested profile data:

* First name: George.
* Last name at birth: Glasgow.
* Birth: before 1693, place unknown, uncertain.
* Residence or church association: Keady, County Armagh, Ireland, in 1713.
* Occupation/status: Presbyterian ruling elder.
* Death: after 1713, place unknown, uncertain.
* Parents: unknown.
* Spouse: unknown.
* Children: unknown.

The birth estimate is not based on a recorded age. It assumes only that George was an adult when serving as a ruling elder in 1713.

Keady should be treated as George’s recorded congregational association rather than a proved birthplace or precise residence. Synod lists commonly identify elders by the congregations they represented.

George should not be confused with George Glasgow of Dublin, who died in 1676.

No relationship has yet been established between George and the Glasgow families recorded elsewhere in Ulster.
1724 probate occurrence
An Irish probate index records a George Glasgow in 1724 without a usable residence or family description. The date is compatible with this George, but the name-only entry cannot identify the Keady elder. Underlying record source: george glasgow (https://apps.proni.gov.uk/ProniNames_IE/SearchPage.aspx).
