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.

He died in December 1636. His testament dative and inventory came\nbefore Glasgow Commissary Court in April 1637.<ref name=\"JohnTestament\">National\nRecords of Scotland, Glasgow Commissary Court, testament dative and inventory\nof John Glasgow, sailor in Saltcoats, NRS CC9/7/27, register pp. 478–480;\ndeath in December 1636 and court proceedings in April 1637; original register\nre-read September 2026; locate by reference through the\n[https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/search-records/legal-records/wills\nScotland's People wills search].</ref>\n\nThe proceeding names '''Isobell Gray''' as John's widow. It calls '''Katherine\nGlasgow''' and '''Agnes Glasgow''' lawful children of the deceased, their\nfather. This directly establishes John as the girls' father and Isobell as his\nwidow. It does not expressly identify Isobell as their mother.<ref name=\"JohnTestament\" /> Isobell gave up the inventory on the children's behalf.\n\nA John Brown or Browne of Saltcoats appears in the estate accounting and a\nsailor of that name and place appears in the closing security. These may be the\nsame man, but the document does not make that identity or any kinship explicit.\nHe should be treated only as a record-named financial and legal associate.<ref name=\"JohnTestament\" />\n\nThe inventory may describe an old fishing boat and related equipment. The\nmanuscript reading of those goods is tentative and should not be treated as a\nsecure inventory transcription.<ref name=\"JohnTestament\" />\n\n== Research Notes ==\n\n=== Nature and date of the record ===\n\nA testament dative records court administration of an intestate estate. Its\nrelationship language is valuable, but it is not a personal will and does not\npreserve statements made by John. The decisive manuscript wording describes\nKatherine and Agnes as ''bairnes lawfull'' and continues ''to the defunct thair\nfather''; the closing security again calls them lawful bairns and names\nIsobell as the deceased's relict. This is why John's fatherhood and Isobell's\nwidowhood are secure while her maternity is not explicit.<ref name=\"JohnTestament\" />\n\nThe published testament index places John's entry under 11 April 1637; the day\nin the original register has not been read securely in the current\ntranscription, so only April 1637 is used here.<ref>Francis\nJ.

He married\n[[Mathie-159|Jonet Mathie]] in\nGlasgow in 1618 and their documented children were baptised there between 1619\nand 1634. No inspected record connects that\nhousehold to Isobell Gray, Saltcoats, the sailor occupation, Katherine or\nAgnes. He is excluded as the present match: name and chronological possibility\ncannot override a different documented household without an occupation,\nproperty, residence or explicit-family bridge.\n\n=== Isobell Gray ===\n\nNo WikiTree profile is presently proved for John's widow. [[Gray-27093|Isobell\nGray]], baptised at Kirkcaldy in 1617, and [[Gray-27137|Isobel Gray]], baptised\nat Dunfermline in 1614, are chronological candidates only.
