About Margaret
The former McGechan-24 was merged into McEachin-120 on 27 September 2026. Both records describe Margaret, wife of Hugh Glasgow, in the Kilmarnock family. The 1732 marriage and children recorded from 1732 to 1742 make this the leading identification. McEachin/McCachen/McGechan spelling varies. The proposed 1711 baptism and any clan-descent story remain unproved identity details. The 1744 Margaret Giffen mother entry remains a separate unresolved household question.

Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
This summary is given in full at the top of the page.
What the records show
Source findings
- FamilySearch marriage index records Hugh Glasgow and Margaret McEachin on 20 March 1732; the original register should be checked.
- FamilySearch Scottish baptism index records Margaret McCachen, daughter of Duncan and Marion Harper, born 16 March and baptised 25 March 1711. It is a candidate for this woman, not direct proof of her identity as the 1732 bride.
- Baptism citations formerly on McGechan-24 name Hugh Glasgow and Margaret McGechan as parents of Mary (1732), Margaret (1738), and Hugh (1742). The merged WikiTree biography retains each citation. Mary (Glasgow-4142) and Margaret (Glasgow-4115) were also connected to their mother on 27 September 2026 from those indexed entries.
Still open
Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.
Unresolved questions
Check the original 1732 marriage and children's baptism entries for surname spelling, residences and witnesses; test the 1711 candidate baptism and whether the 1744 Giffen entry describes a different Hugh Glasgow.
