{{Estimated Date}}

An earlier working hypothesis proposed [[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow (abt.1710-abt.1772)]] as John's father based on Y-DNA, naming patterns, locations and ages. See [[Space:Hypothesis:_Parentage_of_John_Glasgow-1022|Hypothesis: Parentage of John Glasgow-1022]]. No reviewed record proves this relationship.

A second working hypothesis considered [[Glasgow-2425|Robert Glasgow (abt.1724-)]] because of the name Robert and the branch's Y-DNA proximity to [[Glasgow-951|Alexander Glasgow]]. This is also unproved.
=== Residency and Family Life in Ireland ===

==== 1851 Census ====

By the time of the '''1851 Antrim Census''', John Glasgow is recorded as being '''100 years old''', suggesting a birth year around '''1751'''. He was married to '''Rose Alexander''', aged '''80''', and they resided in Glenleslie, Dunaghy, Antrim.<ref name="Glenleslie1851Detailed">[https://durrushistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/1851irishcensusreturnscommadelimitedtextfilejul24_071.pdf ''1851 Irish Census Returns: detailed comma-delimited transcription''], Glenleslie household 21.</ref><ref name="Glenleslie1851Macafee">[https://www.billmacafee.com/census/1851censuskilconway.pdf Bill MacAfee, ''1851 Census, Barony of Kilconway''], Glenleslie household 21.</ref> Living with them were:

* '''[[Glasgow-1050|Andrew Glasgow (1818-1848)]]''' (aged 30), their son, a linen weaver who had died in 1848 from consumption.
* '''[[Glasgow-1368|Ellen Glasgow (abt.1825-)]]''' (aged 26), their daughter, a linen weaver who could read and write.
* '''[[Glasgow-1369|Nancy Glasgow (abt.1815-abt.1847)]]''' (aged 36), their daughter who had died in 1847 from dysentery.
* '''John Glasgow''' (aged 40), their nephew, a linen weaver. The detailed transcription records no literacy entry for him.
** This nephew is not [[Glasgow-2056|John Glasgow]], whose 1850 marriage names Henry Glasgow as his father and conflicts with the census nephew's reported 1839 marriage.
* '''[[Glasgow-3168|Ann Glasgow (1833-)]]''' (aged 18) and '''Mary Ann or Maryan Glasgow''' (aged 17; no compatible WikiTree profile identified), their granddaughters, both linen weavers.
* '''Jane Grimes''' (aged 5) and '''James Grimes''' (aged 9 months), their grandchildren

Ann's later marriage identifies one branch of this household. On 24 November 1869 Ann Jane Glasgow, a thirty-three-year-old spinster of Kildowney, married Patrick Russell and named her father as [[Glasgow-2981|James Glasgow]], weaver.<ref name="AnnRussell1869">General Register Office of Ireland, civil marriage register, Patrick Russell and Ann Jane Glasgow, 24 November 1869, Ballymena registration district; [https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1869/11434/8200208.pdf original register image].</ref> The age is close to John's eighteen-year-old granddaughter, Kildowney and Glenleslie are both in Dunaghy parish, and James's documented family was at Glenleslie in 1847.<ref name="Workhouse1847James">[https://www.billmacafee.com/otherrecords/ballymenaworkhouse.pdf William Macafee, "Admissions to Ballymena Workhouse: 13th May to 8th July 1847"], registrations 4406–4410, Mary and children of the James Glasgow family at Glenleslie.</ref> The combined evidence identifies James as John's son. James's mother has not been established and he is not attached to Rose.

Also present were:

* '''Sarah Alexander''' (aged 34), recorded only as a visitor. The return states no relationship to John or Rose.
* '''Barbera McKillop''' (aged 10), a servant winding quills.
* '''William Alexander''' (aged 60), recorded as John's brother-in-law, who had died in 1846 from rheumatism. That term does not establish the exact kinship route or prove that he was Rose's brother.

'''Observations:'''

* William's recorded status as John's brother-in-law is consistent with an Alexander connection, but neither his entry nor Sarah's visitor status proves either person's exact relationship to Rose.
* The ages of Rose and her children imply that she may have been beyond typical childbearing age when they were born, indicating:
* Rose may have been '''John Glasgow's second wife'''.
* From the 1851 Census, John appeared to be having children from at least ages 64-74
** 35 years prior where he could've been having children. 
** He would've been 28 when he had [[Glasgow-1367|Robert Glasgow (abt.1779-)]] if it is his son. 
* There may be inaccuracies in the recorded ages.
* The grandchildren's parentage is uncertain:
*  '''Ann''' and '''Maryan''' are unlikely to be Andrew's children due to his young age at their births.
*  The Grimes grandchildren are born too late to be Nancy's children and too early to be Ellens. [[Grimes-6878|Unknown Grimes (abt.1815-)]]

=== Speculation and Context ===

John Glasgow's advanced age and the ages of his children raise questions about the accuracy of the records and the relationships within the household:

* '''Rose's Age and Maternity''': If Rose was 80 in 1851, she would have been approximately 44 when Nancy was born, 50 when Andrew was born, and 54 when Ellen was born. These ages are beyond typical childbearing years for the era, suggesting Rose may not be the biological mother of these children.
*  It's possible Rose was '''John's second wife''', and the children are from an earlier marriage.
* Alternatively, there may be inaccuracies in the recorded ages.

'''Grandchildren's Parentage''':
*  '''Ann (18)''' and '''Maryan (17)''' are too old to be Andrew's children, as he would have been 12 and 13 at their births. They may be daughters of another, unlisted child of John.
*  '''Jane Grimes (5)''' could be Nancy's child, given Nancy died in 1847, but '''James Grimes (9 months)''' was born after Nancy's death, suggesting another mother.

* '''Nephew John Glasgow (40)''': His presence suggests that John (the head) had a brother whose son is this nephew, indicating a wider family network in the area.
** Potentially [[Glasgow-3135|Henry Glasgow (bef.1790-)]] who had a son John (1812) in Ireland (County Tyrone) 

== Y-DNA Connections ==

John Glasgow is potentially a descendant of [[Glasgow-548|Hugh Glasgow (abt.1706-)]], through his son [[Glasgow-549|John Glasgow (abt.1735-abt.1785)]], who settled in Tyrone, or his brother [[Glasgow-550|Robert Glasgow (abt.1737-abt.1787)]] of the Melanchthon branch.

Y-DNA analysis indicates:
* A 5-step genetic distance (suggesting a Most Recent Common Ancestor [MRCA] around 1650) between descendants of this branch and the Melanchthon branch.
* A 3-step genetic distance (MRCA around 1750) from [[Glasgow-2769|Robert Glasgow (abt.1780-abt.1860)]], who settled in South Carolina.

=== Potential Ancestry ===

John Glasgow lists his birthplace as '''Antrim''', reinforcing his roots in the region. This supports the possibility that he is descended from:

* '''[[Glasgow-1505|William Glasgow (abt.1708-abt.1783)]]''', who was a descendant of '''[[Glasgow-1081|James Glasgow (abt.1650-1726)]]''', an early migrant to Antrim around 1660.
* Similar to [[Glasgow-1968|John Glasgow (abt.1775-)]] who was the son of James Glasgow, He was the father of William Glasgow (1811) and John Glasgow Jr (1814) in County Tyrone He was described in the History of Hillsdale County, Michigan.
* [[Glasgow-2537|John Glasgow (abt.1815-1896)]] in Gortin, Derryloran, County Tyrone descended from [[Glasgow-2539|John Glasgow (bef.1771-)]] in County Tyrone, Ireland. 
* [[Glasgow-2058|John Glasgow (bef.1788-)]] in Killycurragh, Derryloran, County Tyrone, Ireland

This profile is similar to: 

* [[Glasgow-2980|John Glasgow (bef.1750-)]], born in Midlothian, Scotland.
** Born in Mid Calder, Midlothian, Scotland, whereas this John lists his native county as Antrim. 
* [[Glasgow-2990|John Glasgow (1740-)]], son of James Glasgow, recorded in the 1766 Religious Census for the Parish of Derryloran, County Tyrone, Ireland.
** Too old to be this John
* [[Glasgow-2846|John Glasgow (bef.1747-)]] "m. Rose Allan in 1769. Born perhaps 1745-48? Probably not the same as John2 who was a ship’s captain in 1739"
** Could Rose Allan be a misinterpretation of Rose Alex? 
*** Father is listed as [[Glasgow-2847|John Glasgow (bef.1730-)]] as born before 1739 based on the record of his sons birth to  Margaret Anderson in West Calder, Midlothian. 
== Research Notes ==

=== 1831 Census ===

==== 1831 Census ====

Note: These Glasgow's may be a seperate Londonderry branch, descended from [[Glasgow-549|John Glasgow (abt.1735-abt.1785)]] and/or [[Glasgow-550|Robert Glasgow (abt.1737-abt.1787)]]. John is listed as having no females in his family, Ellen and Nancy should've appeared here if this is the same John who appears on the 1851 Census. 

John Glasgow first appears in historical records in the '''1831 Irish Census''', residing in Lissane, Loughinshollin, Londonderry. His household included nine individuals, 3 of which were males. Alongside him, '''Robert Glasgow''' is also listed, with a household of three males, suggesting a possible familial connection.<ref>[https://nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-census/search-results/#census_year=1831&surname__icontains=Glasgow&county=Londonderry&parish__icontains=Lissane&limit=30 1831 Irish Census]</ref>

* [[Glasgow-209|John Glasgow (1780-1840)]] was born in Londonderry but had already emigrated to America by 1796.
** [[Glasgow-540|Hugh Glasgow (1739-abt.1831)]] the father of the aforementioned John and brother of [[Glasgow-549|John Glasgow (abt.1735-abt.1785)]], was also born in Londonderry. 
** His father [[Glasgow-548|Hugh Glasgow (abt.1706-)]] was born in County Tyrone

=== Potential for Further Research ===

* '''Marriage Records''': Locating John and Rose's marriage record could clarify Rose's age and their marriage date.
* '''Baptismal Records''': Could confirm the children's parentage and correct ages.
* '''Death Records''': May provide additional details about family relationships.
* '''Y-DNA Analysis''': Continued genetic research could confirm connections to the Melanchthon branch.

=== Current research ===

==== Other possible children ====

[[Glasgow-867|John Glasgow]] and [[Glasgow-2908|Samuel Glasgow]] of Lisnagaver
were brothers. The younger John's 1846 marriage names his father as '''John
Glasgow, farmer''', and the 1851 census explicitly calls Samuel his
brother.<ref name="JohnMarriage1846">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=cima-3156063 IrishGenealogy.ie], civil marriage of John Glasgow and Margaret Garvin, 16 November 1846.</ref><ref name="Lisnagaver1851">[https://nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-census/census-record/#census_year=1851&surname__icontains=Glasgow&county=Antrim&limit=30&id=43289 1851 Census of Ireland], Lisnagaver household 34.</ref>

The younger John's family gravestone says that he died in 1895 aged seventy-
eight, implying birth about 1816 or 1817, although the 1851 return reported him
as fifty.<ref name="RasharkinStone">[https://genealogy.torrens.org/BannValley/church/RasharkinP/graveyard.html Pauline O'Keeffe and Helen Evans, ''Rasharkin Second Presbyterian Church headstones''], transcription made August 2004, Glasgo memorial erected by James Garvin Glasgo.</ref> If the gravestone age is correct, this John would have been about sixty-five when the younger John was born. He remains a possible identity for the named father, but the shared name and occupation do not identify him uniquely. Both relationships remain uncertain.

[[Glasgow-1400|George Glasgow]], whose wife Sarah was also an Alexander, headed
the immediately preceding Glenleslie household. His location, age and Alexander
association make him a plausible son, but no record calls him John's son.<ref name="Glenleslie1851Macafee" />

[[Glasgow-2407|John Glasgow]], a farmer at Cross in Ballyclug, married Rachel
Grey in 1865. The original certificate calls him a bachelor and names his father
as '''John Glasgow, farmer'''.<ref name="CrossMarriage1865">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1865/11578/8260226.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil marriage register], John Glasgow and Rachel Grey, 11 September 1865.</ref> His 1874 death age implies birth about 1809.<ref name="CrossDeath1874">[https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1874/020673/7253774.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil death register], John Glasgow, Cross, 27 January 1874.</ref> He is another possible son of a local John farmer. He is not the 1851 nephew, who was recorded as married since 1839. [[Glasgow-1657|John Glasgow of Cross]], who died in 1836, is a competing and geographically closer father candidate, so no attachment to this John is justified yet.

==== Unresolved grandchildren and nephew ====

Ann and Mary Ann Glasgow retained the Glasgow surname, but their father or
mother has not been identified. Jane and James Grimes imply that another child
of John had formed a Grimes family. No compatible civil marriage was found for
Jane Grimes in the Ballymena district after 1860.

The forty-year-old nephew is especially important because his father should
identify a brother or brother-equivalent of John. [[Glasgow-2056|John Glasgow]]
was considered, but his 1850 marriage names his father as Henry Glasgow, farmer,
and no record makes that Henry John's brother.<ref name="John2056Marriage">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1850/09386/5399841.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil marriage register], John Glasgow and Matilda Little, 1850.</ref>

The nephew was also not the forty-year-old son of [[Glasgow-1367|Robert Glasgow]] recorded in nearby Glenleslie household 23. Robert's son was an absent household member whose census-day location was explicitly '''America''', whereas the nephew was resident with John in household 21.<ref name="Glenleslie1851Detailed" />

Of the currently identified profiles, [[Glasgow-3474|John Glasgow]], the married farmer who died at Lisnagaver on 24 June 1885 aged 78, is the strongest later-life candidate. His age and locality are compatible and his son James reported the death, but the registration does not name his wife or parents and does not connect him directly to Glenleslie.<ref name="John1885">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1885/06280/4799372.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil death register], John Glasgow, Lisnagaver, 24 June 1885.</ref> He was not [[Glasgow-867|John Glasgow]], husband of Margaret Garvin, whose family memorial records death in 1895.<ref name="RasharkinGrave">[https://genealogy.torrens.org/BannValley/church/RasharkinP/graveyard.html Rasharkin Presbyterian graveyard transcription], Glasgow memorial erected by James Garvin Glasgo.</ref> [[Glasgow-2407|John Glasgow of Cross]] is ruled out because his 1865 marriage calls him a bachelor, while the nephew reported a first marriage in 1839.

==== Parentage and local cluster ====

No inspected record identifies John's parents. [[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]]
was previously attached as his father, but the reviewed Kilwaughter church and
petition material never names John as Robert's son. The relationship is a tree
reconstruction rather than a documented fact.

[[Glasgow-1505|William Glasgow of Larne]] is currently retained as John's
uncertain father. Their ages are compatible, but no baptism, will, deed or
church entry names John as William's son, and no record bridges William's Larne
property to John's later Glenleslie household.

[[Glasgow-1367|Robert Glasgow]] headed Glenleslie household 23. He was born
about 1779, twelve years before John and Rose's reported marriage, and the census
does not call him John's son. He was therefore removed from this family and his
parents were left blank.<ref name="Robert1851">[https://nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-census/census-record/#census_year=1851&surname__icontains=Glasgow&county=Antrim&limit=30&id=31234 1851 Census of Ireland], Glenleslie household 23.</ref>

The older Ballyboggy records provide a competing local ancestry. The 1740
Protestant Householders' Return records '''Joh Glask''' in Dunaghy, and a
three-life lease identifies [[Glasgow-3959|John Glasgow]] and James Wier as
joint Ballyboggy tenants.<ref name="Householders1740">[https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf Bill MacAfee, ''Protestant Householders' Returns, 1740''], record 2107, Joh Glask, Dunaghy.</ref><ref name="BallyboggyLease1740">Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, D2223/15/56, Ballyboggy title-deed bundle, lease of 1740; [https://apps.proni.gov.uk/eCatNI_IE/SearchPage.aspx PRONI eCatalogue].</ref> He was an adult before this John was born and is therefore a plausible father, grandfather or collateral relative. The lease description does not name his children.

James Glasgow and James Glasgow junior were among the Ballyboggy tithe
occupiers in 1825. Ballyboggy adjoins Glenleslie, and the same records repeatedly
contain Alexander and Wier households.<ref name="Tithe1825">[https://www.billmacafee.com/182030stithe/tithenorthantrimrevisionorder.pdf Bill MacAfee, ''North Antrim Tithe Applotment Books arranged in document order''], Dunaghy parish, Ballyboggy, 1825.</ref> This is evidence for a long-running local tenant network, not a parent-child chain.

[[Category:Glasgow Name Study]]
{{Estimated Date}}

An earlier working hypothesis proposed [[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow (abt.1710-abt.1772)]] as John's father based on Y-DNA, naming patterns, locations and ages. See [[Space:Hypothesis:_Parentage_of_John_Glasgow-1022|Hypothesis: Parentage of John Glasgow-1022]]. No reviewed record proves this relationship.

A second working hypothesis considered [[Glasgow-2425|Robert Glasgow (abt.1724-)]] because of the name Robert and the branch's Y-DNA proximity to [[Glasgow-951|Alexander Glasgow]]. This is also unproved.
=== Residency and Family Life in Ireland ===

==== 1851 Census ====

By the time of the '''1851 Antrim Census''', John Glasgow is recorded as being '''100 years old''', suggesting a birth year around '''1751'''. He was married to '''Rose Alexander''', aged '''80''', and they resided in Glenleslie, Dunaghy, Antrim.<ref name="Glenleslie1851Detailed">[https://durrushistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/1851irishcensusreturnscommadelimitedtextfilejul24_071.pdf ''1851 Irish Census Returns: detailed comma-delimited transcription''], Glenleslie household 21.</ref><ref name="Glenleslie1851Macafee">[https://www.billmacafee.com/census/1851censuskilconway.pdf Bill MacAfee, ''1851 Census, Barony of Kilconway''], Glenleslie household 21.</ref> Living with them were:

* '''[[Glasgow-1050|Andrew Glasgow (1818-1848)]]''' (aged 30), their son, a linen weaver who had died in 1848 from consumption.
* '''[[Glasgow-1368|Ellen Glasgow (abt.1825-)]]''' (aged 26), their daughter, a linen weaver who could read and write.
* '''[[Glasgow-1369|Nancy Glasgow (abt.1815-abt.1847)]]''' (aged 36), their daughter who had died in 1847 from dysentery.
* '''John Glasgow''' (aged 40), their nephew, a linen weaver. The detailed transcription records no literacy entry for him.
** This nephew is not [[Glasgow-2056|John Glasgow]], whose 1850 marriage names Henry Glasgow as his father and conflicts with the census nephew's reported 1839 marriage.
* '''[[Glasgow-3168|Ann Glasgow (1833-)]]''' (aged 18) and '''Mary Ann or Maryan Glasgow''' (aged 17; no compatible WikiTree profile identified), their granddaughters, both linen weavers.
* '''Jane Grimes''' (aged 5) and '''James Grimes''' (aged 9 months), their grandchildren

Ann's later marriage identifies one branch of this household. On 24 November 1869 Ann Jane Glasgow, a thirty-three-year-old spinster of Kildowney, married Patrick Russell and named her father as [[Glasgow-2981|James Glasgow]], weaver.<ref name="AnnRussell1869">General Register Office of Ireland, civil marriage register, Patrick Russell and Ann Jane Glasgow, 24 November 1869, Ballymena registration district; [https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1869/11434/8200208.pdf original register image].</ref> The age is close to John's eighteen-year-old granddaughter, Kildowney and Glenleslie are both in Dunaghy parish, and James's documented family was at Glenleslie in 1847.<ref name="Workhouse1847James">[https://www.billmacafee.com/otherrecords/ballymenaworkhouse.pdf William Macafee, "Admissions to Ballymena Workhouse: 13th May to 8th July 1847"], registrations 4406–4410, Mary and children of the James Glasgow family at Glenleslie.</ref> The combined evidence identifies James as John's son. James's mother has not been established and he is not attached to Rose.

Also present were:

* '''Sarah Alexander''' (aged 34), recorded only as a visitor. The return states no relationship to John or Rose.
* '''Barbera McKillop''' (aged 10), a servant winding quills.
* '''William Alexander''' (aged 60), recorded as John's brother-in-law, who had died in 1846 from rheumatism. That term does not establish the exact kinship route or prove that he was Rose's brother.

'''Observations:'''

* William's recorded status as John's brother-in-law is consistent with an Alexander connection, but neither his entry nor Sarah's visitor status proves either person's exact relationship to Rose.
* The ages of Rose and her children imply that she may have been beyond typical childbearing age when they were born, indicating:
* Rose may have been '''John Glasgow's second wife'''.
* From the 1851 Census, John appeared to be having children from at least ages 64-74
** 35 years prior where he could've been having children. 
** He would've been 28 when he had [[Glasgow-1367|Robert Glasgow (abt.1779-)]] if it is his son. 
* There may be inaccuracies in the recorded ages.
* The grandchildren's parentage is uncertain:
*  '''Ann''' and '''Maryan''' are unlikely to be Andrew's children due to his young age at their births.
*  The Grimes grandchildren are born too late to be Nancy's children and too early to be Ellens. [[Grimes-6878|Unknown Grimes (abt.1815-)]]

=== Speculation and Context ===

John Glasgow's advanced age and the ages of his children raise questions about the accuracy of the records and the relationships within the household:

* '''Rose's Age and Maternity''': If Rose was 80 in 1851, she would have been approximately 44 when Nancy was born, 50 when Andrew was born, and 54 when Ellen was born. These ages are beyond typical childbearing years for the era, suggesting Rose may not be the biological mother of these children.
*  It's possible Rose was '''John's second wife''', and the children are from an earlier marriage.
* Alternatively, there may be inaccuracies in the recorded ages.

'''Grandchildren's Parentage''':
*  '''Ann (18)''' and '''Maryan (17)''' are too old to be Andrew's children, as he would have been 12 and 13 at their births. They may be daughters of another, unlisted child of John.
*  '''Jane Grimes (5)''' could be Nancy's child, given Nancy died in 1847, but '''James Grimes (9 months)''' was born after Nancy's death, suggesting another mother.

* '''Nephew John Glasgow (40)''': His presence suggests that John (the head) had a brother whose son is this nephew, indicating a wider family network in the area.
** Potentially [[Glasgow-3135|Henry Glasgow (bef.1790-)]] who had a son John (1812) in Ireland (County Tyrone) 

== Y-DNA Connections ==

John Glasgow is potentially a descendant of [[Glasgow-548|Hugh Glasgow (abt.1706-)]], through his son [[Glasgow-549|John Glasgow (abt.1735-abt.1785)]], who settled in Tyrone, or his brother [[Glasgow-550|Robert Glasgow (abt.1737-abt.1787)]] of the Melanchthon branch.

Y-DNA analysis indicates:
* A 5-step genetic distance (suggesting a Most Recent Common Ancestor [MRCA] around 1650) between descendants of this branch and the Melanchthon branch.
* A 3-step genetic distance (MRCA around 1750) from [[Glasgow-2769|Robert Glasgow (abt.1780-abt.1860)]], who settled in South Carolina.

John Glasgow lists his birthplace as '''Antrim''', reinforcing his roots in the region. This supports the possibility that he is descended from:

* '''[[Glasgow-1505|William Glasgow (abt.1708-abt.1783)]]''', who was a descendant of '''[[Glasgow-1081|James Glasgow (abt.1650-1726)]]''', an early migrant to Antrim around 1660.
* Similar to [[Glasgow-1968|John Glasgow (abt.1775-)]] who was the son of James Glasgow, He was the father of William Glasgow (1811) and John Glasgow Jr (1814) in County Tyrone He was described in the History of Hillsdale County, Michigan.
* [[Glasgow-2537|John Glasgow (abt.1815-1896)]] in Gortin, Derryloran, County Tyrone descended from [[Glasgow-2539|John Glasgow (bef.1771-)]] in County Tyrone, Ireland. 
* [[Glasgow-2058|John Glasgow (bef.1788-)]] in Killycurragh, Derryloran, County Tyrone, Ireland

This profile is similar to: 

* [[Glasgow-2980|John Glasgow (bef.1750-)]], born in Midlothian, Scotland.
** Born in Mid Calder, Midlothian, Scotland, whereas this John lists his native county as Antrim. 
* [[Glasgow-2990|John Glasgow (1740-)]], son of James Glasgow, recorded in the 1766 Religious Census for the Parish of Derryloran, County Tyrone, Ireland.
** Too old to be this John
* [[Glasgow-2846|John Glasgow (bef.1747-)]] "m. Rose Allan in 1769. Born perhaps 1745-48? Probably not the same as John2 who was a ship’s captain in 1739"
** Could Rose Allan be a misinterpretation of Rose Alex? 
*** Father is listed as [[Glasgow-2847|John Glasgow (bef.1730-)]] as born before 1739 based on the record of his sons birth to  Margaret Anderson in West Calder, Midlothian. 
== Research Notes ==

=== 1831 Census ===

==== 1831 Census ====

Note: These Glasgow's may be a seperate Londonderry branch, descended from [[Glasgow-549|John Glasgow (abt.1735-abt.1785)]] and/or [[Glasgow-550|Robert Glasgow (abt.1737-abt.1787)]]. John is listed as having no females in his family, Ellen and Nancy should've appeared here if this is the same John who appears on the 1851 Census. 

John Glasgow first appears in historical records in the '''1831 Irish Census''', residing in Lissane, Loughinshollin, Londonderry. His household included nine individuals, 3 of which were males. Alongside him, '''Robert Glasgow''' is also listed, with a household of three males, suggesting a possible familial connection.<ref>[https://nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-census/search-results/#census_year=1831&surname__icontains=Glasgow&county=Londonderry&parish__icontains=Lissane&limit=30 1831 Irish Census]</ref>

* [[Glasgow-209|John Glasgow (1780-1840)]] was born in Londonderry but had already emigrated to America by 1796.
** [[Glasgow-540|Hugh Glasgow (1739-abt.1831)]] the father of the aforementioned John and brother of [[Glasgow-549|John Glasgow (abt.1735-abt.1785)]], was also born in Londonderry. 
** His father [[Glasgow-548|Hugh Glasgow (abt.1706-)]] was born in County Tyrone

=== Potential for Further Research ===

* '''Marriage Records''': Locating John and Rose's marriage record could clarify Rose's age and their marriage date.
* '''Baptismal Records''': Could confirm the children's parentage and correct ages.
* '''Death Records''': May provide additional details about family relationships.
* '''Y-DNA Analysis''': Continued genetic research could confirm connections to the Melanchthon branch.

==== Other possible children ====

[[Glasgow-867|John Glasgow]] and [[Glasgow-2908|Samuel Glasgow]] of Lisnagaver
were brothers. The younger John's 1846 marriage names his father as '''John
Glasgow, farmer''', and the 1851 census explicitly calls Samuel his
brother.<ref name="JohnMarriage1846">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=cima-3156063 IrishGenealogy.ie], civil marriage of John Glasgow and Margaret Garvin, 16 November 1846.</ref><ref name="Lisnagaver1851">[https://nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-census/census-record/#census_year=1851&surname__icontains=Glasgow&county=Antrim&limit=30&id=43289 1851 Census of Ireland], Lisnagaver household 34.</ref>

The younger John's family gravestone says that he died in 1895 aged seventy-
eight, implying birth about 1816 or 1817, although the 1851 return reported him
as fifty.<ref name="RasharkinStone">[https://genealogy.torrens.org/BannValley/church/RasharkinP/graveyard.html Pauline O'Keeffe and Helen Evans, ''Rasharkin Second Presbyterian Church headstones''], transcription made August 2004, Glasgo memorial erected by James Garvin Glasgo.</ref> If the gravestone age is correct, this John would have been about sixty-five when the younger John was born. He remains a possible identity for the named father, but the shared name and occupation do not identify him uniquely. Both relationships remain uncertain.

[[Glasgow-1400|George Glasgow]], whose wife Sarah was also an Alexander, headed
the immediately preceding Glenleslie household. His location, age and Alexander
association make him a plausible son, but no record calls him John's son.<ref name="Glenleslie1851Macafee" />

[[Glasgow-2407|John Glasgow]], a farmer at Cross in Ballyclug, married Rachel
Grey in 1865. The original certificate calls him a bachelor and names his father
as '''John Glasgow, farmer'''.<ref name="CrossMarriage1865">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1865/11578/8260226.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil marriage register], John Glasgow and Rachel Grey, 11 September 1865.</ref> His 1874 death age implies birth about 1809.<ref name="CrossDeath1874">[https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1874/020673/7253774.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil death register], John Glasgow, Cross, 27 January 1874.</ref> He is another possible son of a local John farmer. He is not the 1851 nephew, who was recorded as married since 1839. [[Glasgow-1657|John Glasgow of Cross]], who died in 1836, is a competing and geographically closer father candidate, so no attachment to this John is justified yet.

==== Unresolved grandchildren and nephew ====

Ann and Mary Ann Glasgow retained the Glasgow surname, but their father or
mother has not been identified. Jane and James Grimes imply that another child
of John had formed a Grimes family. No compatible civil marriage was found for
Jane Grimes in the Ballymena district after 1860.

The forty-year-old nephew is especially important because his father should
identify a brother or brother-equivalent of John. [[Glasgow-2056|John Glasgow]]
was considered, but his 1850 marriage names his father as Henry Glasgow, farmer,
and no record makes that Henry John's brother.<ref name="John2056Marriage">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1850/09386/5399841.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil marriage register], John Glasgow and Matilda Little, 1850.</ref>

The nephew was also not the forty-year-old son of [[Glasgow-1367|Robert Glasgow]] recorded in nearby Glenleslie household 23. Robert's son was an absent household member whose census-day location was explicitly '''America''', whereas the nephew was resident with John in household 21.<ref name="Glenleslie1851Detailed" />

Of the currently identified profiles, [[Glasgow-3474|John Glasgow]], the married farmer who died at Lisnagaver on 24 June 1885 aged 78, is the strongest later-life candidate. His age and locality are compatible and his son James reported the death, but the registration does not name his wife or parents and does not connect him directly to Glenleslie.<ref name="John1885">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1885/06280/4799372.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil death register], John Glasgow, Lisnagaver, 24 June 1885.</ref> He was not [[Glasgow-867|John Glasgow]], husband of Margaret Garvin, whose family memorial records death in 1895.<ref name="RasharkinGrave">[https://genealogy.torrens.org/BannValley/church/RasharkinP/graveyard.html Rasharkin Presbyterian graveyard transcription], Glasgow memorial erected by James Garvin Glasgo.</ref> [[Glasgow-2407|John Glasgow of Cross]] is ruled out because his 1865 marriage calls him a bachelor, while the nephew reported a first marriage in 1839.

==== Parentage and local cluster ====

No inspected record identifies John's parents. [[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]]
was previously attached as his father, but the reviewed Kilwaughter church and
petition material never names John as Robert's son. The relationship is a tree
reconstruction rather than a documented fact.

[[Glasgow-1505|William Glasgow of Larne]] is currently retained as John's
uncertain father. Their ages are compatible, but no baptism, will, deed or
church entry names John as William's son, and no record bridges William's Larne
property to John's later Glenleslie household.

[[Glasgow-1367|Robert Glasgow]] headed Glenleslie household 23. He was born
about 1779, twelve years before John and Rose's reported marriage, and the census
does not call him John's son. He was therefore removed from this family and his
parents were left blank.<ref name="Robert1851">[https://nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-census/census-record/#census_year=1851&surname__icontains=Glasgow&county=Antrim&limit=30&id=31234 1851 Census of Ireland], Glenleslie household 23.</ref>

The older Ballyboggy records provide a competing local ancestry. The 1740
Protestant Householders' Return records '''Joh Glask''' in Dunaghy, and a
three-life lease identifies [[Glasgow-3959|John Glasgow]] and James Wier as
joint Ballyboggy tenants.<ref name="Householders1740">[https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf Bill MacAfee, ''Protestant Householders' Returns, 1740''], record 2107, Joh Glask, Dunaghy.</ref><ref name="BallyboggyLease1740">Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, D2223/15/56, Ballyboggy title-deed bundle, lease of 1740; [https://apps.proni.gov.uk/eCatNI_IE/SearchPage.aspx PRONI eCatalogue].</ref> He was an adult before this John was born and is therefore a plausible father, grandfather or collateral relative. The lease description does not name his children.

James Glasgow and James Glasgow junior were among the Ballyboggy tithe
occupiers in 1825. Ballyboggy adjoins Glenleslie, and the same records repeatedly
contain Alexander and Wier households.<ref name="Tithe1825">[https://www.billmacafee.com/182030stithe/tithenorthantrimrevisionorder.pdf Bill MacAfee, ''North Antrim Tithe Applotment Books arranged in document order''], Dunaghy parish, Ballyboggy, 1825.</ref> This is evidence for a long-running local tenant network, not a parent-child chain.
