About Robert

The photographed Gilders Creek memorial directly identifies this child as the son of Elizabeth Glasgow and her husband, Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-1983). Both parent attachments are directly supported by the shared gravestone. This child is not Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-2769), who survived into 1815 and 1818 records.

What the records show

Source findings

Source	Finding	Assessment
Gilders Creek Cemetery transcription and linked photograph	The shared stone calls Elizabeth the spouse of Robert Glasgow and says the Robert who died 12 December 1813 aged five was “their son.”	Direct evidence for both parents and the child.
University of Tennessee muster collection MS-3419 and 1818 Giles County deed	The Tennessee Robert was alive after 1813.	Proves separate identity from Glasgow-2769.

Still open

Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.

Recommended WikiTree status

Retain Elizabeth and Glasgow-1983 as the gravestone-proved parents. Detach the different Tennessee Robert, Glasgow-2769, from this couple because both Roberts were alive during overlapping periods.
