John Glasgow

before 15 October 1689

Torryburn, Fife, Scotland

Current position

John Glasgow was baptised at Torryburn, Fife, on 15 Oct 1689. The parish register names his father as James Glasgow and his mother as Jean Mitchell. Because the entry records a baptism rather than a birth, his birth is placed before that date, and Torryburn is inferred from the baptism rather than independently recorded. 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.
