Hugh Glasgow
c. 1770 – before 14 February 1843
Larne estate context; Hugh’s own residence unproved
Current position
Hugh Glasgow was deceased before 14 February 1843. His will’s trustees or executors were to pay £250 in connection with Mary Glasgow’s intended marriage to John McGavock. His placement as a son of James Glasgow-3991 and the bride’s placement as Hugh’s daughter are separate low-confidence hypotheses, neither stated in the deed.

Source findings
| Source | Finding | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| 1843 marriage settlement, opening image 499, continuation image 500; settlement 10 February, affidavit 14 February, registered 18 February 1843 | Hugh Glasgow is deceased; trustees or executors of his will were to pay £250 to John McGavock in the settlement with Mary Glasgow. | Original images inspected. Establishes estate association and death boundary; no residence, age, actual death date or kinship to Mary. Full memorial/book reference still to verify. |
| Larne monument transcription, Ulster Journal of Archaeology 6 (1900), p.47 | James Glasgow-3991 died 14 April 1812 aged 64; daughter Ann died 1832 aged 64. | Compatible with a further son born about 1770; no Hugh son is named. Naming and chronology are not independent proof. |
Identity and relationship assessments
The live attachment to James Glasgow-3991 is explicitly uncertain. No mother is assigned. Birth about 1770 is only a working generation estimate; Larne birth and death places are uncertain contextual inferences. The deed does not locate Hugh himself. John Glasgow-4179 and Hugh Glasgow-3931 remain alternative father candidates. The bride could be Hugh’s daughter, another relative or a beneficiary. Mary Glasgow-3989, monument-proved daughter of William Glasgow-3324, remains a possible duplicate of the bride: proving that identity would require withdrawing the proposed Hugh fatherhood.
Priority actions
Locate Hugh’s will or administration and trace the bride’s half shares in Newtown Larne and Pound Road. Obtain explicit kinship wording and resolve the bride’s possible duplicate before treating either uncertain attachment as documented.
