Comparison context
These child positions and checks are the subject details used to rank possible parents below.
Naming sequence used by the parentage model
Known-position checks: 0 support · 0 conflict. Ordinals retain unnamed children and recognise reused names.
Relationship comparison
Potential parents or duplicates
Compare scored leads with the subject details above—not proof.
No named children are recoverable, so child-naming analysis cannot be run.
How parent leads are calculated
Automated leads use birth surnames—not married surnames—as parental eligibility, role-specific biological age limits, bounded and approximate-date uncertainty, household chronology, specific time-aware localities, mapped distance, tenancy succession, migration destinations and sex-aware Scottish naming positions across generations. 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.
Naming customs, shared farms and occupations are circumstantial. Children, spouses and collateral relatives may be missing, and tree-derived family networks are not independent evidence. Scores rank research leads; they do not prove parentage.

How duplicate leads are calculated
Dates are eligibility gates, not merely deductions: chronologically impossible people are excluded. Dates, places, spouses, parent certainty and children's profiles and names are then compared. A high score is a prompt to inspect records, not a merge recommendation.

| WikiTree Glasgow-550 and saved API provenance | The profile was created 6 July 2016 by Sarah (Bush) Hastings and is now orphaned. WikiTree marks both dates as guesses. Its 1831 census discussion concerns a much later Robert of Coltrim. | The profile itself supplies no record for Robert's life. Saved sources/wikitree_glasgow550_provenance.json, ...creator.json, and public HTML. |
| William Melanchthon Glasgow family history, original scan p. 2 | The circa-1890s account itself names Robert as one of Hugh Glasgow and Margaret McCullough's three sons, but gives Robert no date, place, wife, child, occupation, or death. No independent McCullough-side source corroborates the sonship. | Supports only a late family tradition that a son Robert existed; it does not support the profile fields or Adam's parentage. Saved sources/william_melanchthon_glasgow_family_history.pdf. |

| 1740 Protestant householders return, PRONI `T808/15258`, Tamlaght O'Crilly pages 108-109 | The surviving Tenison Groves transcript contains two separate adult householders named Hugh Glasgow in Tamlaght O'Crilly. No Robert Glasgow is listed. | This does not test the existence of a Robert born about 1737: a child aged about three would not be a householder. It proves no father-child relationship. Saved page images and OCR as sources/vt_1740_tamlaght_ocrilly_page10*. |
| 1766 Religious Census Gold Seam | Glasgow hits are James Glasgow and Sam Glasgo in Kildress, County Tyrone, and James/John Glasgo at Drumearn in Derryloran, County Tyrone. The Tamlaght O'Crilly search hit is only a Kilrea note about priest Andrew Bradley's residence; it is not a named Tamlaght O'Crilly household return. Inishrush/Innisrush searches returned zero. | The surviving/indexed 1766 material does not place Robert in County Londonderry, but it cannot exclude him because no named Tamlaght O'Crilly return survives in this corpus. Saved exact search responses as sources/vt_search_1766_*.json. |
Registry of Deeds Index Project, exact Robert Glasgow, exact Robert Glasco, and prefix searches, 1700-1850 | The exact and prefix searches returned the same three Robert rows: memorials 74015 (1738), 76724 (1741), and 488398 (1817); exact Glasco returned none. The all-Glasgow search returned 17 rows and no additional Robert. No returned Robert was of County Londonderry or Inishrush. | Qualified negative because the volunteer index is incomplete and can omit subtenants and unindexed memorials. Saved all four query-result pages and three memorial abstracts under sources/rodi_*. |
| Registry memorial 74015, vol. 105, p. 301 | On 13 February 1738 William Agnew leased Robert Glasgow of Killwaughter, County Antrim, 63 acres in Ballykeel and 15 acres in Upper Ballyheel for GBP14 yearly. Named lives included James Glasgow junior and Rachel, formerly Wilson, wife of Robert. | This Robert was an adult married leaseholder in 1738 and therefore cannot be a Robert born about 1737. He belongs to the Killwaughter/Antrim cluster, not the alleged Londonderry profile. Saved sources/rodi_memorial_74015.html. |
| Registry memorial 76724, vol. 109, p. 476 | On 17 June 1741 Robert Glasgow, farmer, of Killwaughter witnessed William Agnew's lease of Ballyboly, Larne, to Josias Clugston. | Corroborates the adult Killwaughter man's Antrim identity; it does not connect him to Adam or Inishrush. Saved sources/rodi_memorial_76724.html. |
| Registry memorial 488398, vol. 714, p. 63 | An 1817 Cookstown mortgage was witnessed by Robert Glasgow junior, gentleman, of Cookstown, County Tyrone, and Joshua Collins. The instrument concerns Pattison and Harkness property and states no Glasgow family relationship. | A later Tyrone namesake. Junior distinguishes him from an older namesake in that context only; it does not prove that Robert of Loy was his father or connect either man to Adam. Saved sources/rodi_memorial_488398.html. |
Cookstown rent-roll transcript, 1786-1788, PRONI Freeholders TYR/5/3/1, and PRONI pre-1858 probate index | The rent roll lists Robert GLASGOW GBP4 10s under Loy. The only Robert in PRONI's indexed freeholders was Robert Glasgow of Loy, Derryloran, County Tyrone, registered in 1796. The Armagh diocesan index records Robert Glasgow, gentleman, of Loy, will dated 19 May 1823 and an administration bond in 1825. | If these entries concern one man, he survived about 36 years beyond the profile's guessed 1787 death. No surviving index entry names his wife, parent, child, Adam, or Inishrush. The will itself was lost with the main pre-1858 probate archive. The rent-roll page was verified online but could not be archived locally because the environment's external-network usage limit blocked the download. |
PRONI Freeholders Records, Glasgow, Glasg, Glasco, Glascow, Inishrush, and Innisrush searches | Twelve Glasgow/Glasg entries were returned. The sole Robert was the 1796 Loy man in Tyrone; the only County Londonderry Glasgow was John of Drumcon about 1840. Innisrush returned Alexander McClelland and Daniel McLaughlin, but no Glasgow. | The digitized/indexed freeholder collection supplies no County Londonderry or Inishrush Robert. It does not cover the Vintners estate's unindexed 1796 freeholder material. Saved original Innisrush register page as sources/proni_d834_1_innisrush_freeholders_page35.png. |
| UHF Early Ulster Military Records, four surname variants; Belfast News-Letter extract, April 1772 | No Glasgow/Glasco/Glascoe/Glasgo hit was returned from UHF's database, which includes 1797-1798 County Londonderry Volunteer lists and general yeomanry material. The 1772 Tamlaght O'Crilly arms-surrender notice names Hugh Glasgow, not Robert. | Qualified negative: the full undigitized County Londonderry yeomanry musters PRONI T1021/3 remain unchecked. Neither source identifies Robert or a relationship to Adam. Saved the newspaper page as sources/arborealis_kilrea_news_1770_1779.html. |
| Kilrea-area newspaper transcript audit, 1758-1797 | No Glasgow variant occurs in the searchable local decade pages. The 1780 Inishrush Volunteers notice names only order-signatory Robert Smyth, the 1783 four-parish meeting names only its chairman, and the 1797 loyalty report says 24 townlands signed but prints only chairmen. | These notices are not resident, member, or subscriber rosters; absence cannot exclude Robert. They provide no Adam/Robert relationship. |
| 1785 Dublin Gazette appointment, Army medical-officer roll, and 1787 St Vincent letter report | A Robert Glasgow who had been a West Indies hospital mate became an Army surgeon on St Vincent in 1785, exchanged to half-pay in 1791, and lived until at least 1825. His 1787 letter was addressed to his brother James at Beith, Scotland. | This military man cannot be the profile's Robert said to have died about 1787. His West Indian/Scottish record gives no Ireland, Inishrush, or Adam connection. Saved Gazette crop, Army roll, and letter report under sources/. |
| Drimbolg and County Londonderry Presbyterian record histories | Drimbolg's session book starts in 1809 and names a John Glasgow in published extracts; its baptism register starts in 1895. Churchtown baptisms start in 1840 and Boveedy baptisms in 1841. | No surviving local baptism register can document Robert about 1737 or name him as Adam's father. The unpublished Drimbolg session book remains a possible adult collateral source, not a negative result. |
| Vintners/Conolly estate guides and public rental studies | D1062/1/5 is a townland-arranged lease book covering about 1730-1826; rentals D2094/50-51, D2094/68,75-76,78, and T2825/C/19/1-13 cover critical years. They are not digitized. Published rental work warns that head-tenant lists can omit subtenants. The 18 indexed Inishrush deeds examined name no Glasgow principal. | No public estate source found names Robert at Inishrush or gives a predecessor/kin relationship.

Parentage effect
No found contemporary or near-contemporary source identifies the biographical Robert represented by Glasgow-550. The documentary record instead separates every located same-name man by place and date:
| Robert identity | Documented range and place | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Killwaughter farmer and leaseholder, wife Rachel Wilson | 1738-1741, County Antrim | Too old to be born about 1737; excluded. |
| St Vincent Army surgeon, brother James at Beith | 1785-1825+, West Indies/Scotland | Survived the guessed death and lacks an Irish link; excluded. |
| Robert of Loy, gentleman/freeholder | 1786-1825, Derryloran, County Tyrone | Later Tyrone cluster; no wife, child, or Adam stated. |
| Robert junior of Cookstown, gentleman | 1817, County Tyrone | Later namesake; no stated relation to Robert of Loy or Adam. |
| Robert of Coltrim | 1831, County Londonderry | Later-generation householder; no ages or kin stated. |
Robert remains chronologically possible only because his profile dates are estimates. A son's name, a broad County Londonderry label, or a derivative family tradition cannot identify him as Adam's father. No evidence found connects Robert directly to Adam, Inishrush, or a tenancy inherited by Adam.
The newly established 1767-John naming reconstruction does not improve Robert's case. John's sons occur as Adam, James, John and Arthur, with his own name in the traditional third-son position and Maria in the second-daughter position. If the pattern was followed, the expected paternal grandparents were Adam and Maria, not Robert and an unknown wife. This is indirect evidence, not an exclusion, but it means Robert is not the leading father merely because he was a traditional brother of Hugh-540 or because Adam's proved son was named James.
The late account's statement that Hugh-540's son John was born on the family farm near Portglenone in 1780 strengthens the wider family's connection to the Inishrush district. It does not place Robert there. Robert and John-549 remain equally unproved direct-father candidates; the first-son name Adam points more naturally to the older Adam/Maria model than to either traditional brother.
The public Y-DNA result for John born 1767 does not supply the missing bridge. No displayed kit is documented as a strict male-line descendant of this Robert, John-549, Hugh-548 or Hugh-540. An older WikiTree reference to a five-step match with a “Melanchthon branch” does not name the tester or pedigree and is not reproducible from the current public metadata.
