About Jesse
Glasgow-768 and Glasgow-769 are both presented as sons of Caleb Glasgow and Ruth Gregory named Jesse, born about 1761 and 1760 respectively. Their cited source is the same user-submitted Ancestry tree, at different person IDs; neither profile supplies a baptism, probate or other independent record identifying two sons. The dates of death, 1838 and 1781, are likewise unsupported in their biographies. They are a strong duplicate-or-misattachment lead, not a proven single identity. Both profiles are managed by another member; no live relationship or biography change was made.

What the records show
Source findings
| Source | Finding | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Live Glasgow-768 and Glasgow-769, read 26 September 2026 | Same two attached parents, given name Jesse, overlapping estimated births; separate Ancestry tree citations tid=9190548&pid=180 and pid=182. |
Two tree entries are not two independent historical people. The claimed dates and parentage need record checks. |
| Middle Tennessee Journal of Genealogy and History, vol. XI no. 2, p. 67, abstract of deed p. 73 | Jesse Glasgow witnessed a 15 April 1791 transaction involving William Thompson of Currituck County and William Watton of Sumner County. | Shows a same-name adult in the Currituck–Tennessee network after the claimed 1781 death, but the abstract does not name his parents or prove which WikiTree Jesse he was. Original deed still needed. |
Identity and family
Identity and relationship assessment
The 1791 witness makes the 1781 death claim questionable if it concerns this family, but it cannot alone identify either profile. A shared name and parents in an online tree cannot prove a merge; it might also reflect an incorrect parent attachment or later-life claim. No merge is recommended until a record names Jesse with his father, spouse, land or estate.
Still open
Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.
Priority actions
- Inspect the original 1791 deed and Currituck/early Tennessee probate and land records for identifying details.
- Find independent documentation for either claimed death and for Caleb and Ruth's children.
- Reassess the two WikiTree profiles with the manager after the record trail is established.
