About Jesse

This profile and Glasgow-768 both attach a Jesse Glasgow born about 1760–61 to Caleb Glasgow and Ruth Gregory. The only cited source on each is a different entry in the same user-submitted Ancestry tree. The claimed 1781 death on this profile has no independent citation. Their identity is unresolved; both are managed by another member, so no live merge or relationship edit was made. The fuller Glasgow-768 research note records the comparison.
