What the research found

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

The profile was originally created for a supposed son Andrew based on a superseded transcription. The live profile was repurposed for the directly documented son Robert on 18 September 2026. A second erroneous son profile, Glasgow-4007, now redirects here. Live API readback on 26 September confirmed the name Robert, male gender and Andrew as father. The missing mother link to Elizat Stevinsoun was added and verified live on 26 September using the testament's explicit parentage clause.

The profile's biography distinguishes the Duddingston Robert, Ninian's son Robert and the earlier fisher. None has a proved Corsoun or Elizat bridge. Do not merge them on name and estimated dates.

Current conclusion

Andrew Glasgow's testament directly names **Robert Glasgow** as his son by
Elizat Stevinsoun: `Robart Glasgw his sone begottin be him vpoun the said
Elizat his wyff`. Andrew also planned for Elizat to hold land until Robert
reached age. The 1597 birth year and Corsoun birth place on WikiTree are
estimates, not recorded vital facts. No later Robert is identified with this
child.

The profile was originally created for a supposed son Andrew based on a
superseded transcription. The live profile was repurposed for the directly
documented son Robert on 18 September 2026. A second erroneous son profile,
[[Glasgow-4007|Glasgow-4007]], now redirects here. Live API readback on 26
September confirmed the name Robert, male gender and Andrew as father. The
missing mother link to [[Stevinsoun-2|Elizat Stevinsoun]] was added and verified
live on 26 September using the testament's explicit parentage clause.

The profile's biography distinguishes [[Glasgow-1156|the Duddingston Robert]],
[[Glasgow-1027|Ninian's son Robert]] and [[Glasgow-1096|the earlier fisher]].
None has a proved Corsoun or Elizat bridge. Do not merge them on name and
estimated dates.
