About John

John Glasgow was born on 10 November 1777 at Daill, Argyll, and died on 21 May 1845 at Glasgow, Cambria County, Pennsylvania, according to his profile, which names his wife as Elizabeth Bell; he appears in the 1820 census of Allegheny Township, Cambria County. He is a possible match for the John Glasgow listed under Allegheny Township in a Huntingdon County election-meeting list of 1799, the township having passed from Huntingdon to Cambria County in 1804, but no record bridges the two. A father-and-son link with the John Glasgo who headed a Huntingdon County household in 1790 is only a hypothesis.

John Glasgow, Allegheny Township list in Huntingdon County context, 1799: Profile exact birth 10 November 1777, Daill, Argyll, and death 21 May 1845, Glasgow, Cambria, Pennsylvania, fit the period. Its existing spouse has a profile-stated Huntingdon birthplace, a tree lead only; later Cambria locality and adult chronology make this a stronger regional candidate, without a direct bridge to the township list. Identity remains unresolved. Compatible candidates have chronology only, without an individual place, occupation or family bridge. These three John contexts may involve different men; the two Allegheny reprints are one list. No family or life-date change follows.

What the records show

Source findings

John Glasgow is named under Allegheny Township in a township-grouped list accompanying Huntingdon County election-meeting material. Two issues repeat the same township list. Resolution V directs the proceedings to be signed by the chairman, secretary and citizens present; the township names follow Robert Galbraith, chairman. John is apparently a participating citizen, without an individually specified office or signature mark. This is Huntingdon County context, not modern Allegheny County; no family role is stated. Identity remains unresolved. Compatible candidates have chronology only, without an individual place, occupation or family bridge. These three John contexts may involve different men; the two Allegheny reprints are one list.

  • John Glasgow (Allegheny Township, 1799) — possible same person as, or possible kin of — Glasgow-664 / unprofiled John Glasgo (Huntingdon County 1790): research note only (WikiTree now: not linked). No kinship is stated in the notice. The 1790 Huntingdon John Glasgo household had five boys under 16, and Glasgow-664 (b. c.1777) is later in the same Allegheny Township. A father–son connection is a hypothesis for the Huntingdon/Cambria tax and land records, not a proposal. (The North American (Philadelphia), 1799-09-10, p.3)

Current conclusion

John Glasgow was born on 10 November 1777 at Daill, Argyll, and died on 21 May 1845 at Glasgow, Cambria County, Pennsylvania, according to his profile, which names his wife as Elizabeth Bell; he appears in the 1820 census of Allegheny Township, Cambria County. He is a possible match for the John Glasgow listed under Allegheny Township in a Huntingdon County election-meeting list of 1799, the township having passed from Huntingdon to Cambria County in 1804, but no record bridges the two. A father-and-son link with the John Glasgo who headed a Huntingdon County household in 1790 is only a hypothesis.

Current conclusion — newspaper identity review, 6 October 2026

- [The North American (Philadelphia), 1799-09-10, p.3](https://www.newspapers.com/image/587806805/): John Glasgow (participating citizen listed under Allegheny Township, Huntingdon County election meeting (1799)) — **possible** match. There is a township-level place continuity. Cambria County was created in 1804 from Huntingdon and Somerset Counties, and was 'originally divided into three townships, Allegheny, Cambria and Conemaugh' (Cambria County 'Origin of Cambria County'), so Allegheny Township was carried over from Huntingdon. Glasgow-664 (John Glasgow, b. 10 Nov 1777 per profile, d. 21 May 1845 at Glasgow, Cambria County; wife Elizabeth Bell, born Huntingdon) appears in the 1820 census of Allegheny Township, Cambria County (profile citation; confirmed in the USGenWeb 1820 Cambria transcription, which lists John and James Glasgow in Allegheny). He would have been about 21 in 1799. Name, township and region agree across 1799 and 1820. However, the USGenWeb 1790 Huntingdon County transcription shows a 'John Glasgo' head of household (1 male 16+, 5 males under 16, 1 female) already in Huntingdon County in 1790. That Sources: [USGenWeb Census Project, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, 1790 census transcription (page 116: John Glasgo)](https://www.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/pa/huntingdon/1790/); [USGenWeb Census Project, Cambria County, Pennsylvania, 1820 census transcription, Allegheny Township (John and James Glasgow)](https://www.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/pa/cambria/1820/allegheny.txt); [Cambria County, 'Origin of Cambria County' (formed 26 March 1804 from Huntingdon and Somerset; original townships Allegheny, Cambria, Conemaugh)](https://www.cambriacountypa.gov/download/97/origin-of-cambria-county/1288/origin-of-cambria-county.pdf)
