James Glasgow
before 1733
Saltoun, East Lothian, Scotland
Current position
James Glasgow of Saltoun, East Lothian, was a mariner. In 1733 he appears as surgeon of the Swift of Sheerness in a list of Lothians mariners. The entry places him at Saltoun and records his occupation, but gives no age, family or later life, so his birth is placed before 1733 and Saltoun is inferred from the record rather than independently stated. The Findmypast transcript is the indexed source for this event. The live WikiTree profile records male sex at birth with uncertain status, inferred from the recorded given name. The cited transcript does not explicitly state sex.
