Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
A published 1892 biographical register identifies Margaret as born at Moneymore, County Londonderry; her husband James as born at Oritor, County Tyrone; and their son William as born at Jacksonville, Illinois. Margaret's displayed c.1820 birth is only a working estimate required by WikiTree. Her exact dates and parents remain unknown.
What the records show
Evidence significance
This is positive FAN-network evidence that Glasgow and Harkness families in
the Cookstown-Moneymore district intermarried. It modestly strengthens the
plausibility of another Glasgow-Harkness marriage but does not identify Mary
Harkness or prove her proposed marriage to Glasgow-1024.
Still open
