Examined before Lord Elphinstone at the end of June 1679, he declared that he had been with the rebels eight days and had carried a gun. He is also listed among the banished who survived the shipwreck at the Moul Head of Deerness, and appears again as a servant at Ormistoun in a list of October 1684. The records place him at Cavers and Ormistoun between 1679 and 1684; no birth, family or death is stated, so his birth is placed before 1679 and Cavers is inferred from the record. The [Findmypast transcript](https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBPR%2FCOVENANT%2F028558&tab=this) 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.\n\n[Glasgow-1605](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1605) represents a child baptised at Polwarth in 1658 and discusses this Cavers man only as a same-name hypothesis. No reviewed record identifies the child with the documented adult. The two profiles are cross-linked while the possible identity remains unresolved; the baptism is not assigned to Glasgow-4138.\n\n[Glasgow-3587](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3587) is another possible identity: a William Glasgon married Margaret Scott at Hummelknows in Cavers parish on 4 March 1708/09. That is about 24 years after the Ormistoun servant entry. The marriage names no age, occupation, parents or other identifier connecting the groom to the Covenanter.

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.","warning":"Naming customs, shared farms and occupations are circumstantial.
