People already attached as the subject's parents stay in the identity summary and are excluded from this alternative-candidate list, regardless of relationship confidence. The main calibration uses clues available on disconnected profiles; existing parent and sibling links are retained as comparison context rather than treated as transferable evidence. Common ordered names and grandparent-to-child echoes receive a small non-zero weight, so a John or James match can support several independent criteria without producing a lead alone. Rare names, repeated bearers and bundles across otherwise distinct branches receive substantially more weight according to catalogue frequency. An exact migration place is weighted by its rarity and repetition across both branches; a shared destination country is worth only one point. Extra weight is added only when at least three independent clue types converge: naming, locality, specific migration, household chronology or collateral networks. Sparse profiles retain a clearly labelled chronology-only fallback instead of disappearing. Countries, states, counties and research clusters do not count as a shared locality, and fallback, broad representative or kin-inferred coordinates are excluded from distance scoring. Shared descendant profiles are removed before branch-name comparison. A candidate already recorded as a parent-in-law is excluded. A confident or independently supported parent is treated as settled; uncertain and unassessed attachments remain open to alternative comparison. A different linked parent, an uncle/aunt or grandparent path, and a matching existing child profile prevent an alternative from being classified as a strong direct-parent lead until the underlying tree conflict or duplicate is resolved. Familiar forms such as Bessie are normalised. Surname remains an eligibility filter worth zero points.","warning":"Naming customs, shared farms and occupations are circumstantial. Children, spouses and collateral relatives may be missing, and tree-derived family networks are not independent evidence.

Prescott heritage material identifies him as the builder of the Centre Street house now known as Glasgow House.<ref name=\"PrescottHeritage\">Town of Prescott, [https://www.prescott.ca/media/3dtiztjk/council-agenda-june-16-2025.pdf ''Council Agenda, 16 June 2025''], heritage-designation material for 280 Centre Street, “Glasgow House.”</ref> A later property history dates the building to about 1835.<ref name=\"Recorder\">Theresa Taylor, [https://www.theresataylor.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Auction-all-for-others-Brockville-Recorder.pdf “Auction all for others,”] ''Brockville Recorder & Times'', 22 February 2017.</ref>\n\nRobert made his will in October 1849. The registered copy divides his estate into six shares: one each for his brothers Daniel, [[Glasgow-4010|Samuel]], John and Thomas Glasgow, one collectively for the children of his deceased brother James, and one for his sister Mary Glasgow.<ref name=\"Will1849\">FamilySearch, ''Land records of Grenville County, 1822–1955'', film 008200419, image 35, registered copy of the will of Robert Glasgow of Prescott, dated October 1849 and registered in 1856, [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSLG-LWY9-S image 3Q9M-CSLG-LWY9-S]; original image inspected 8 September 2026.</ref>\n\nThe explicit sibling language makes Samuel Robert's brother, not his son. The later statement that Robert left the house to six “children” and that a son Samuel acquired the other shares appears to have misread the six-share title chain.<ref name=\"Will1849\" /><ref name=\"Recorder\" />\n\nLocal history reports that Robert died at Prescott in 1856.<ref name=\"Recorder\" /> The 1856 date is compatible with an 1849 will: 1849 is the date on which the will was made, while 1856 is the reported death and registration period.\n\n== Research Notes ==\n\n=== The 1842 census lead ===\n\nA modern index reports a Robert Glasgow in Augusta in the 1842 Canada West census. The image formerly cited for that claim, frame <code>004569584_00050</code>, was inspected at full resolution and contains no readable Robert Glasgow entry.<ref>Library and Archives Canada, [https://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?app=Census1842&op=img&id=004569584_00050 1842 Census of Canada West, image 004569584_00050], inspected 13 August 2026.</ref> It is not used here as evidence for Robert's identity.\n\n=== Family interpretation ===\n\nThe will's named beneficiaries are Robert's siblings and the children of one deceased sibling. It does not name Robert's parents, spouse or children. The same-named Glasgow men in Ireland must not be attached merely because Samuel was described as formerly of Kilrea. In particular, the will does not by itself identify the Canadian brothers with the Lisnagaver or Glenleslie families.\n\nThe current project index and WikiTree search found no compatible profiles for\nthe brothers Daniel, John, Thomas and James or the sister Mary named in the\nwill. Those beneficiaries should remain unlinked until each has an identifying\ndate, residence, occupation, relative or property bridge; same-name profiles\nmust not be substituted.\n\nRobert's actual birthplace is unknown. His birth is estimated only far enough before about 1835 for him to have worked as a shipbuilder and built the house. His brother Samuel was recorded as Irish-born in the original 1851 Prescott census.<ref>Library and Archives Canada, [https://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?app=Census1851&op=img&id=e002351566 1851 Census of Canada West, Prescott, page 31, lines 11–18, image e002351566], Samuel Glasgow household.</ref> Ireland is therefore a usable uncertain creation-field location from Robert's documented immediate-family context; it is not a statement that Robert's birthplace has been found. Prescott should be entered as an uncertain death place from the local history, not as a birthplace.\n\n=== Duplicate audit ===\n\nThe local One Tree export, current project index and live WikiTree name results were reviewed in August and September 2026. No compatible Prescott shipbuilder profile was found. [[Glasgow-1367|Robert Glasgow of Glenleslie]], [[Glasgow-1171|Robert Glasgow of New York]], [[Glasgow-1983|Robert Glasgow of South Carolina]], [[Glasgow-1189|Robert Glasgow of Ohio]] and [[Glasgow-2769|Robert Glasgow of Tennessee]] have incompatible documented lives.
