Arthur Glasgow

Biography
Arthur was born about 1750. He served as a soldier in Virginia during the Revolution. 

"Arthur Glasgow died in May 1822, aged 72 years, so he was born in about 1750. He married widow Rebeckah Anderson McNutt McCorkle, on 7 Jan 1782 in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Arthur Glasgow in the Virginia, U.S., Compiled Marriages, 1660-1800 She was the widow of John McCorkle (died Jan 1781) and the daughter of John McNutt and Katherine Anderson.

According to the source below, "Arthur Glasgow was a descendant of Earl Glasgow, of Scotland," where Arthur emigrated from to our colonies. Oren Frederic Morton's, A History of Rockbridge County, Virginia, Supplement, Staunton, VA, 1920, page 304-306 has some data on Arthur and his family through Alexander McNutt Glasgow. Page 253-254, says the 3 Glasgow brothers, Arthur, Robert and Joseph came to our colonies in the late 1700's. Glasgow Township was named for the family. 

Children with Rebeckah: 
Joseph Glasgow, 14 Oct 1783 
John Glasow, 17 Dec 1785
Ann Nancy Glasgow, 1788, (Thos McCleland, 1804)
Robert Arthur Glasgow, 1792
Margaret Glasgow, 1793, (Mrs. Edmondson),

Research Notes
Current research
Arthur Glasgow (Glasgow-649), born about 1750, later Rockbridge County, Virginia is now proved to be a brother of Joseph Glasgow and Robert Glasgow. His claimed Moneymore birth and attached parents are still not established.

David Faris prints a family letter dated 6 November 1806 from Joseph and Betty Glasgow to Arthur. Joseph addresses Arthur as his brother and refers to “brother robert.” Joseph's 1831 will independently calls a younger Robert the son of his deceased brother Arthur and Joseph's nephew. The combined evidence makes the three-way sibling relationship strong; it does not identify their parents.

The repeated name Arthur in John Glasgow's descendants is real but heavily confounded by John's wife, Mary Arthur. Their son Arthur can naturally have been named from his mother's surname; later Arthur Glasgow compound names can honour that son or the maternal surname without referring to Arthur-649.

A useful working hypothesis remains: Arthur-649 could have had an older or half-brother Adam who remained in Ireland and became the older Adam implied by John-822's naming pattern. Faris calls emigrant Robert a son of James of Moneymore, while later accounts make Robert, Joseph and Arthur brothers. The resulting Adam-James-John-Arthur sequence could preserve John's father Adam, grandfather James, John himself and his paternal uncle Arthur. No inspected source names Adam in that emigrant family, however.

This hypothesis concerns the record-defined James of Moneymore, whose own dates and spouse are not supplied by the WorldCat summary. It must not be used to validate the internally conflicted live profile Glasgow-1024 or the wholly derivative James-3305.
