Comparison context
These child positions and checks are the subject details used to rank possible parents below.
Naming sequence used by the parentage model
Known-position checks: 0 support · 0 conflict. Ordinals retain unnamed children and recognise reused names.
Relationship comparison
Potential parents or duplicates
Compare scored leads with the subject details above—not proof.
No named children are recoverable, so child-naming analysis cannot be run.
How parent leads are calculated
Automated leads use birth surnames—not married surnames—as parental eligibility, role-specific biological age limits, bounded and approximate-date uncertainty, household chronology, specific time-aware localities, mapped distance, tenancy succession, migration destinations and sex-aware Scottish naming positions across generations. People already attached as the subject's parents stay in the identity summary and are excluded from this alternative-candidate list, regardless of relationship confidence. The main calibration uses clues available on disconnected profiles; existing parent and sibling links are retained as comparison context rather than treated as transferable evidence. Common ordered names and grandparent-to-child echoes receive a small non-zero weight, so a John or James match can support several independent criteria without producing a lead alone. Rare names, repeated bearers and bundles across otherwise distinct branches receive substantially more weight according to catalogue frequency. An exact migration place is weighted by its rarity and repetition across both branches; a shared destination country is worth only one point. Extra weight is added only when at least three independent clue types converge: naming, locality, specific migration, household chronology or collateral networks. Sparse profiles retain a clearly labelled chronology-only fallback instead of disappearing. Countries, states, counties and research clusters do not count as a shared locality, and fallback, broad representative or kin-inferred coordinates are excluded from distance scoring. Shared descendant profiles are removed before branch-name comparison. A candidate already recorded as a parent-in-law is excluded. A confident or independently supported parent is treated as settled; uncertain and unassessed attachments remain open to alternative comparison. A different linked parent, an uncle/aunt or grandparent path, and a matching existing child profile prevent an alternative from being classified as a strong direct-parent lead until the underlying tree conflict or duplicate is resolved. Familiar forms such as Bessie are normalised. Surname remains an eligibility filter worth zero points.
Naming customs, shared farms and occupations are circumstantial. Children, spouses and collateral relatives may be missing, and tree-derived family networks are not independent evidence. Scores rank research leads; they do not prove parentage.

How duplicate leads are calculated
Dates are eligibility gates, not merely deductions: chronologically impossible people are excluded. Dates, places, spouses, parent certainty and children's profiles and names are then compared. A high score is a prompt to inspect records, not a merge recommendation.

Current conclusion
Glasgow-4015 is the record-defined Margaret Glasgow of Tyanee, directly named as Mary Patton's mother in the 1825 First Kilrea marriage register. No live profile has the John Patton/Mary Patton family, so Margaret was created unconnected rather than attached by inference.

Profile and relationship update — 20 August 2026
The 1825 First Kilrea Presbyterian marriage entry now anchors a linked WikiTree family: Margaret's co-parent and probable husband is [[Patton-11260|John Patton]], and their daughter is [[Patton-11261|Mary (Patton) Gordon]]. The record directly names John and Margaret as Mary's parents; it does not supply their marriage date or place.
The closest duplicate candidates were ruled out. [[Patton-10956|John Patton]] married Elsey Neel in Virginia, while [[Patton-1420|Mary Patton]] married James Calhoun. Neither belongs to the Tyanee household.
Repeated Glasgow–Patton marriages in the American descendants of [[Glasgow-12|Robert Glasgow]] make an older social or kin network plausible, but no record currently connects that family to Margaret or John of Tyanee. Relevant profiles include [[Glasgow-6|Jane Glasgow]], [[Glasgow-7|Margaret Black Glasgow]], [[Glasgow-10|Rosannah Glasgow]], and [[Glasgow-9|Samuel Steele Glasgow]].
