== Biography ==
'''James Glasgow''' is named in a modern genealogy as "James Glasgow of Moneymore," father of [[Glasgow-12|Robert Glasgow]], who was born in County Londonderry in 1749.<ref name="Faris">David Faris, ''The Glasgow Family of Adams County, Ohio: A Genealogy of the Descendants of Robert Glasgow (1749–1839) and His Wife Rosanna of Bush Creek, Adams County, Ohio'' (1990); [https://search.worldcat.org/title/22731567 WorldCat catalogue record] and [https://search.worldcat.org/title/The-Glasgow-family-of-Adams-County-Ohio-%3A-a-genealogy-of-the-descendants-of-Robert-Glasgow-%281749-1839%29-and-his-wife-Rosanna-of-Bush-Creek-Adams-County-Ohio/oclc/22731567 captured catalogue URL]. The book's underlying evidence for Robert's father has not yet been inspected.</ref> No contemporary record yet found establishes this James's birth, parents, wife, migration, or death.

Online pedigrees have described James as born in Ireland about 1722, emigrating to North America with his wife Mary in 1770, settling in Pennsylvania, being naturalised there in 1804 as “James Glassgo,” and dying about 1831 aged approximately 109. The located records have not been connected to one another or to Robert's father. The age-40 [[Glasgow-4024|James Glasgow buried at Cookstown in 1831]] was a different man.

The profile records James as the sixth great-grandfather of [[Scholten-278|Diane Scholten]]. That descent depends on the currently unproved identification of this profile as the father of the emigrant sibling group and should be treated as a tree relationship pending source-level proof.

Robert's 1834 pension declaration states that Robert was born in County Derry in 1749, had no written record of his age, and came to "Nottingham County Virginia" in 1769.<ref name="RobertPension">Robert Glasgow, Revolutionary War pension application R4057, declaration dated 1834, [https://revwarapps.org/r4057.pdf transcription and images].</ref> It does not name Robert's parents or siblings. Faris's later identification of Robert's father as James of Moneymore is therefore useful secondary evidence, but it is not independently proved.

=== Provenance of the compiled pedigree ===

The located publication trail does not support a death date for James. Faris's 1990 catalogue summary supplies no vital dates, wife, migration or death for the father.<ref name="Faris" />

The detailed family package can be traced to Brøderbund World Family Tree, volume 2, tree 6075 (1995), later imported into WeRelate. It gives James Glascow born about 1722, Mary Harkness born about 1727, a marriage about 1748, and sons Robert, Arthur and Joseph, but no death for either parent.<ref name="WFT1995">[https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person%3AJames_Glascow_%282%29 WeRelate, "James Glascow (2)"] and [https://www.werelate.org/w/index.php?oldid=14450844&amp;title=Person%3AJames_Glascow_%282%29 revision 14450844], derivative profile attributing the family to Brøderbund World Family Tree, volume 2, tree 6075. This documents pedigree provenance, not the events.</ref>

|-
| [[Glasgow-1543|Joseph Glasgow]] || Son || Joseph's 1831 will and an 1806 family letter prove that Joseph, Arthur and Robert belonged to the same sibling group, but do not identify their father.<ref name="JosephWill">Joseph Glasgow, Wythe County, Virginia, will dated 2 April 1831 and proved 11 April 1831, transcription at [https://swvirginians.wordpress.com/2014/12/12/joseph-glasgow-pulaski-co-va-will-of-1831/ Southwest Virginians]; [https://www.lva.virginia.gov/collections/ccmf/VA/VA305 Library of Virginia catalogue].</ref><ref name="Letter1806">Family letter dated 6 November 1806, transcribed in Faris, ''Glasgow Family'', pp. 14–19.</ref>
|-
| [[Glasgow-4027|John Glasgow]] || Son || John lived in the same Peters Township network as Robert, Arthur and Joseph. Joseph witnessed John's 1779 will, and Faris identifies John as the third emigrant brother. This is strong circumstantial evidence, but the will does not state the relationship.<ref name="JohnWill">Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Will Book C, p. 161, will of John Glasgow, dated 14 March and proved 3 September 1779; [https://www.sampubco.com/wills/pa/pacumberland01.htm published will-book index].</ref>
|-
| [[Glasgow-4030|Mary Glasgow, possibly Mary Arter]] || Daughter || Faris identifies will witness Mary Arter as the unnamed emigrant sister because she appears with Joseph and the other Glasgows in the same local record network. John's will calls her only a witness and does not state her maiden name or relationship.
|-
| [[Glasgow-3305|James Glasgow]] || Possible son || A James Glasgow signed the 1775 Cookstown dissenters' petition, but the record gives no age, family or townland. Two men of the name were already recorded at Drumearn in 1766. No record proves this James was another son who remained in Ireland.<ref name="Cookstown1775">1775 petition of Protestant dissenters associated with Cookstown congregation, PRONI T/808/15307; [https://cotyroneireland.com/misc/cookstown3.html transcription].</ref>
|}

The evidence establishes the Robert–Arthur–Joseph sibling group and makes John and Mary plausible additions. It does not prove that every proposed sibling was a child of this particular James. Y-DNA results from Robert's descendants support a paternal Glasgow line but cannot identify Robert's father without a documented comparison line.

=== Competing traditions ===

Faris states that Robert emigrated in 1769 with three brothers and a sister and first settled in the Nottingham community.<ref name="Faris"/> Ellen Glasgow's 1954 account instead says that Arthur, then about sixteen and described as a ward, emigrated in 1766 with his mother and elder brothers; it associates the family with Counties Down and Antrim.<ref name="Ellen"/> These accounts differ on date, party, and locality. Neither supports the claim that James and Mary themselves immigrated together in 1770.

|}

Nothing presently rules out Glasgow-1024 and Glasgow-2988 representing the same man, possibly also represented by the Corvanaghan occurrence in Glasgow-3137. A merge would nevertheless convert compatible geography and absence of later records into identity proof. The profiles should remain separate until a lease, estate rental, church record, probate document, family paper or American record supplies a direct bridge.

=== Ulster context ===

The 1740 Protestant-householder return names two James Glasgo householders in Derryloran.<ref name="1740Return">Bill Macafee, [https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf ''1740 Protestant Householders' Returns: Ulster Surname Index''], entries for Glasgo in Derryloran.</ref> The 1766 religious census transcript names two men called Jas Glasgo and one John Glasgo at Drumearn, with other Glasgow and Harkness householders in the wider Derryloran area.<ref name="1766Return">[https://www.cotyroneireland.com/census/1766derryloran.html "Religious Census, Derryloran Parish, 1766," CoTyroneIreland.com].</ref> These returns establish a local surname cluster, but supply no ages or relationships and do not identify Robert's father.

== Immigration and Naturalization ==

=== Compiled 1770 reference ===

The earlier profile interpreted the following compiled index entry as showing that James and Mary Glasgow arrived together in North America in 1770:

<blockquote>
"U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s," database, ({{Ancestry Record|7486|2471134}} : accessed 2 October 2022), Name: Mary Glasgow; Arrival Year: 1770; Arrival Place: North America; Primary Immigrant: Glasgow, James; Source Publication Code: 9228.50; Annotation: Date and port of arrival, date and place of marriage, or date and place of first mention of residence in the New World. Names were only indexed if birth overseas was specifically stated in source. An A following the page number indicates entry appears in; Source Bibliography: TURK, MARION G. ''The Quiet Adventurers in North America.'' Parts 1 and 2. Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1993. 670p.; Household Members Relationship: James Glasgow, Mary Glasgow Wife; citing Place North America, Year 1770, Page Number 249.
</blockquote>

The annotation expressly allows 1770 to mean arrival, marriage, or first known residence or mention in North America. It is not itself a passenger manifest. Until Turk's page 249 and its cited evidence are inspected, the defensible conclusion is only that a compiled work associates James and Mary Glasgow with North America and the year 1770.<ref name="TurkIndex" />

=== Pennsylvania naturalization index ===

In 1804 a man indexed as “James Glassgo” appeared in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania naturalization indexes.<ref name="Naturalization" />

The index establishes a same-name naturalization record. It does not by itself identify the applicant as Robert's father, Mary Harkness's husband, the person in Turk's 1770 reference, or “James Glasgow of Moneymore.” If born about 1722, the applicant would have been about eighty-two, making the underlying card and petition especially important. The earlier statement that this record confirmed this James's Irish birth and long United States residence therefore remains an interpretation to be tested, not an established conclusion.

== Identity and Relationship Questions ==

There is continuing ambiguity surrounding James's identity:

* He may be the same individual as [[Glasgow-2988|James Glasgow (about 1720–)]], but several local men shared the name and no bridging family record has been found.
* He may have been the father of [[Glasgow-2989|James Glasgow (about 1740–)]], or the profiles may preserve conflated same-name traditions.
* DNA and documentary research described at [[Space:Glasgow Ancient YDNA]] may help test the paternal network, but cannot replace a documentary generational bridge.

== Research Notes ==
=== Y-DNA pedigree audit ===

Private family details withheld.

Its reported earliest-ancestor label “James Glasgow” is consistent with Faris's later statement that Robert's father was James of Moneymore, but it remains a copied pedigree label. It cannot resolve whether that man is the conflicted WikiTree profile [[Glasgow-1024]].

This assessment draws on the cited records and public source material.<ref name="ProjectSource1">[https://search.worldcat.org/title/The-Glasgow-family-of-Adams-County-Ohio-%3A-a-genealogy-of-the-descendants-of-Robert-Glasgow-%281749-1839%29-and-his-wife-Rosanna-of-Bush-Creek-Adams-County-Ohio/oclc/22731567 WorldCat summary].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource2">[https://www.familysearch.org/en/memories/memory/16905684 FamilySearch Memories].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource3">[https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf 1740 Ulster religious return].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource4">[https://revwarapps.org/r4057.pdf Robert Glasgow pension declaration, R4057].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource5">[https://search.worldcat.org/title/22731567 WorldCat record].</ref>

=== Moneymore and local surname geography ===

The 1766 religious return explicitly covers Moneymore and Ballygrooby and names heads of families by denomination. It contains neither a Glasgow nor a Harkness household head.<ref name="Moneymore1766">[https://www.cotyroneireland.com/census/moneymore.html Religious Census of Moneymore, Ballygrooby and Artrea, 1766], transcription.</ref> This does not prove that no individual of either surname was present: servants, lodgers and dependants might not be named. It is nevertheless substantial negative evidence against the compiled claim that a married James and Mary maintained an established Moneymore household with several teenage children.

The Derryloran return instead names two "Jas. Glasgo" householders at Drumearn, other Glasgow households nearby, James Harkness in Cookstown and Robert Harkness at Oghless. The tradition may preserve the wider Cookstown–south Derry district rather than a documented Moneymore residence. None of these entries identifies Robert's father.

=== Glasgow–Harkness network ===

The surname pairing is locally plausible. In addition to Glasgow and Harkness households in the 1766 Derryloran return, a later published account identifies [[Glasgow-4026|Margaret Glasgow of Moneymore]] as the wife of [[Harkness-2200|James Harkness of Oritor]].<ref name="LaterHarknessMarriage">The Scotch-Irish Society of America, ''The Scotch-Irish in America: Proceedings and Addresses of the Third Congress'' (1892), biographical register entry for William Glasgow Harkness, [https://www.electricscotland.com/history/scotsirish/congress3-35.htm transcription].</ref> This later marriage shows that the two surname communities intermarried in the wider district and modestly strengthens the plausibility of the traditional Glasgow–Harkness pairing. It is about a century too late to identify [[Harkness-1149|Mary Harkness]] or prove her marriage to this James.

=== Composite records ===

The profile combines at least five unconnected strands:

# Faris's poorly documented "James Glasgow of Moneymore" tradition.
# The 1995 compiled James-and-Mary pedigree.
# A James Glasgow in Augusta and Cecil County records by 1747–1753.
# A James "Glassgo" in Pennsylvania naturalisation material in 1804.
# [[Glasgow-4024|James Glasgow of Cookstown]], aged 40, buried in 1831.

No located record bridges all five. The 1831 burial belongs to the younger Cookstown man and must not remain in this profile's structured death fields.

No source presently supports birth at Moneymore about 1721, the suffix "II," marriage to Mary Harkness in 1747, immigration in 1770, identity with the 1804 naturalisation applicant, or death at Moneymore in 1831.

The Ancestry entry derived from Marion Turk is not a passenger manifest. Its annotation permits 1770 to mean arrival, marriage, first residence, or first mention.<ref name="TurkIndex"/> The underlying page 249 should be inspected.

=== Next records ===

# Examine Desertlyn Church of Ireland burial register MIC1/10A, 1798–1835.
# Search Drapers' Company Moneymore estate records, PRONI D3632, especially rentals and accounts for about 1750–1775.
# Examine Lissan Church of Ireland registers and vestry records from 1744 onward.
# Ask First Moneymore Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Historical Society of Ireland about unlisted pre-1827 papers.
# Obtain Turk, p. 249, and the complete 1804 naturalisation record.
# Reconstruct the Augusta/Cecil County James independently from original records.
# Inspect First Moneymore Presbyterian administrative material, while recognising that its surviving baptism and marriage registers begin too late for this family.
# Examine Artrea MIC1/97 and the 1829 parish census T308.
# Search Lissan T679, MIC583/1–2 and MIC1/103 for mid-eighteenth-century Glasgow and Harkness records.
# Search Drapers' Company collection D3632, especially D3632/A/356 and the financial, rental and tenant series, for a documented Moneymore tenancy.

=== FamilySearch full-text deed search ===

A focused FamilySearch full-text search covered James Glasgow, James Glasgo, James Glascow, Mary Harkness and Mary Glasgow in eighteenth-century Moneymore, Derryloran, Cookstown and Kilrea. No matching record naming Mary Harkness or Mary Glasgow was found.

The James results were inspected rather than assigned by name alone. They concern already-separated men in Larne and the Aghadonvane/Leitrim-Donegal network, including a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-J9XP-J 1766 Larne ropemaker deed], a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-N9YN-4 1776 Aghadonvane mortgage], a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-P9LW-G 1780 Aghadonvane transaction], and a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-9WVP-C 1778 Larne farmer affidavit]. None names Moneymore, Derryloran, Cookstown, Kilrea, Mary Harkness or the emigrant sibling group. No result can presently be assigned to this James.

|}

The evidence establishes the Robert–Arthur–Joseph sibling group and makes John and Mary plausible additions. It does not prove that every proposed sibling was a child of this particular James. Y-DNA results from Robert's descendants support a paternal Glasgow line but cannot identify Robert's father without a documented comparison line.

=== Competing traditions ===

Faris states that Robert emigrated in 1769 with three brothers and a sister and first settled in the Nottingham community.<ref name="Faris"/> Ellen Glasgow's 1954 account instead says that Arthur, then about sixteen and described as a ward, emigrated in 1766 with his mother and elder brothers; it associates the family with Counties Down and Antrim.<ref name="Ellen"/> These accounts differ on date, party, and locality. Neither supports the claim that James and Mary themselves immigrated together in 1770.

Nothing presently rules out Glasgow-1024 and Glasgow-2988 representing the same man, possibly also represented by the Corvanaghan occurrence in Glasgow-3137. A merge would nevertheless convert compatible geography and absence of later records into identity proof. The profiles should remain separate until a lease, estate rental, church record, probate document, family paper or American record supplies a direct bridge.

=== Ulster context ===

The 1740 Protestant-householder return names two James Glasgo householders in Derryloran.<ref name="1740Return">Bill Macafee, [https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf ''1740 Protestant Householders' Returns: Ulster Surname Index''], entries for Glasgo in Derryloran.</ref> The 1766 religious census transcript names two men called Jas Glasgo and one John Glasgo at Drumearn, with other Glasgow and Harkness householders in the wider Derryloran area.<ref name="1766Return">[https://www.cotyroneireland.com/census/1766derryloran.html "Religious Census, Derryloran Parish, 1766," CoTyroneIreland.com].</ref> These returns establish a local surname cluster, but supply no ages or relationships and do not identify Robert's father.

== Immigration and Naturalization ==

=== Compiled 1770 reference ===

The earlier profile interpreted the following compiled index entry as showing that James and Mary Glasgow arrived together in North America in 1770:

<blockquote>
"U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s," database, ({{Ancestry Record|7486|2471134}} : accessed 2 October 2022), Name: Mary Glasgow; Arrival Year: 1770; Arrival Place: North America; Primary Immigrant: Glasgow, James; Source Publication Code: 9228.50; Annotation: Date and port of arrival, date and place of marriage, or date and place of first mention of residence in the New World. Names were only indexed if birth overseas was specifically stated in source. An A following the page number indicates entry appears in; Source Bibliography: TURK, MARION G. ''The Quiet Adventurers in North America.'' Parts 1 and 2. Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1993. 670p.; Household Members Relationship: James Glasgow, Mary Glasgow Wife; citing Place North America, Year 1770, Page Number 249.
</blockquote>

The annotation expressly allows 1770 to mean arrival, marriage, or first known residence or mention in North America. It is not itself a passenger manifest. Until Turk's page 249 and its cited evidence are inspected, the defensible conclusion is only that a compiled work associates James and Mary Glasgow with North America and the year 1770.<ref name="TurkIndex" />

=== Pennsylvania naturalization index ===

In 1804 a man indexed as “James Glassgo” appeared in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania naturalization indexes.<ref name="Naturalization">"Pennsylvania, Eastern District Naturalization Indexes, 1795-1952," database with images, FamilySearch ([https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KXX1-HYS https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KXX1-HYS] : 9 March 2018), James Glassgo, 1804; citing Naturalization, Pennsylvania, United States, NARA microfilm publication.</ref>

The index establishes a same-name naturalization record. It does not by itself identify the applicant as Robert's father, Mary Harkness's husband, the person in Turk's 1770 reference, or “James Glasgow of Moneymore.” If born about 1722, the applicant would have been about eighty-two, making the underlying card and petition especially important. The earlier statement that this record confirmed this James's Irish birth and long United States residence therefore remains an interpretation to be tested, not an established conclusion.

== Identity and Relationship Questions ==

There is continuing ambiguity surrounding James's identity:

* He may be the same individual as [[Glasgow-2988|James Glasgow (about 1720–)]], but several local men shared the name and no bridging family record has been found.
* He may have been the father of [[Glasgow-2989|James Glasgow (about 1740–)]], or the profiles may preserve conflated same-name traditions.
* DNA and documentary research described at [[Space:Glasgow Ancient YDNA]] may help test the paternal network, but cannot replace a documentary generational bridge.

== Research Notes ==
=== Y-DNA pedigree audit ===

Private family details withheld.

Its reported earliest-ancestor label “James Glasgow” is consistent with Faris's later statement that Robert's father was James of Moneymore, but it remains a copied pedigree label. It cannot resolve whether that man is the conflicted WikiTree profile [[Glasgow-1024]].

This assessment draws on the cited records and public source material.<ref name="ProjectSource1">[https://search.worldcat.org/title/The-Glasgow-family-of-Adams-County-Ohio-%3A-a-genealogy-of-the-descendants-of-Robert-Glasgow-%281749-1839%29-and-his-wife-Rosanna-of-Bush-Creek-Adams-County-Ohio/oclc/22731567 WorldCat summary].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource2">[https://www.familysearch.org/en/memories/memory/16905684 FamilySearch Memories].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource3">[https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf 1740 Ulster religious return].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource4">[https://revwarapps.org/r4057.pdf Robert Glasgow pension declaration, R4057].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource5">[https://search.worldcat.org/title/22731567 WorldCat record].</ref>

=== Moneymore and local surname geography ===

The 1766 religious return explicitly covers Moneymore and Ballygrooby and names heads of families by denomination. It contains neither a Glasgow nor a Harkness household head.<ref name="Moneymore1766">[https://www.cotyroneireland.com/census/moneymore.html Religious Census of Moneymore, Ballygrooby and Artrea, 1766], transcription.</ref> This does not prove that no individual of either surname was present: servants, lodgers and dependants might not be named. It is nevertheless substantial negative evidence against the compiled claim that a married James and Mary maintained an established Moneymore household with several teenage children.

The Derryloran return instead names two "Jas. Glasgo" householders at Drumearn, other Glasgow households nearby, James Harkness in Cookstown and Robert Harkness at Oghless. The tradition may preserve the wider Cookstown–south Derry district rather than a documented Moneymore residence. None of these entries identifies Robert's father.

=== Glasgow–Harkness network ===

The surname pairing is locally plausible. In addition to Glasgow and Harkness households in the 1766 Derryloran return, a later published account identifies [[Glasgow-4026|Margaret Glasgow of Moneymore]] as the wife of [[Harkness-2200|James Harkness of Oritor]].<ref name="LaterHarknessMarriage">The Scotch-Irish Society of America, ''The Scotch-Irish in America: Proceedings and Addresses of the Third Congress'' (1892), biographical register entry for William Glasgow Harkness, [https://www.electricscotland.com/history/scotsirish/congress3-35.htm transcription].</ref> This later marriage shows that the two surname communities intermarried in the wider district and modestly strengthens the plausibility of the traditional Glasgow–Harkness pairing. It is about a century too late to identify [[Harkness-1149|Mary Harkness]] or prove her marriage to this James.

=== Composite records ===

The profile combines at least five unconnected strands:

# Faris's poorly documented "James Glasgow of Moneymore" tradition.
# The 1995 compiled James-and-Mary pedigree.
# A James Glasgow in Augusta and Cecil County records by 1747–1753.
# A James "Glassgo" in Pennsylvania naturalisation material in 1804.
# [[Glasgow-4024|James Glasgow of Cookstown]], aged 40, buried in 1831.

No located record bridges all five. The 1831 burial belongs to the younger Cookstown man and must not remain in this profile's structured death fields.

No source presently supports birth at Moneymore about 1721, the suffix "II," marriage to Mary Harkness in 1747, immigration in 1770, identity with the 1804 naturalisation applicant, or death at Moneymore in 1831.

The Ancestry entry derived from Marion Turk is not a passenger manifest. Its annotation permits 1770 to mean arrival, marriage, first residence, or first mention.<ref name="TurkIndex"/> The underlying page 249 should be inspected.

=== FamilySearch full-text deed search ===

A focused FamilySearch full-text search covered James Glasgow, James Glasgo, James Glascow, Mary Harkness and Mary Glasgow in eighteenth-century Moneymore, Derryloran, Cookstown and Kilrea. No matching record naming Mary Harkness or Mary Glasgow was found.

The James results were inspected rather than assigned by name alone. They concern already-separated men in Larne and the Aghadonvane/Leitrim-Donegal network, including a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-J9XP-J 1766 Larne ropemaker deed], a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-N9YN-4 1776 Aghadonvane mortgage], a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-P9LW-G 1780 Aghadonvane transaction], and a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-9WVP-C 1778 Larne farmer affidavit]. None names Moneymore, Derryloran, Cookstown, Kilrea, Mary Harkness or the emigrant sibling group. No result can presently be assigned to this James.

It does not prove that every proposed sibling was a child of this particular James. Y-DNA results from Robert's descendants support a paternal Glasgow line but cannot identify Robert's father without a documented comparison line.

== Biography ==
'''James Glasgow''' is named in a modern genealogy as "James Glasgow of Moneymore," father of [[Glasgow-12|Robert Glasgow]], who was born in County Londonderry in 1749.<ref name="Faris">David Faris, ''The Glasgow Family of Adams County, Ohio: A Genealogy of the Descendants of Robert Glasgow (1749–1839) and His Wife Rosanna of Bush Creek, Adams County, Ohio'' (1990); [https://search.worldcat.org/title/22731567 WorldCat catalogue record] and [https://search.worldcat.org/title/The-Glasgow-family-of-Adams-County-Ohio-%3A-a-genealogy-of-the-descendants-of-Robert-Glasgow-%281749-1839%29-and-his-wife-Rosanna-of-Bush-Creek-Adams-County-Ohio/oclc/22731567 captured catalogue URL]. The book's underlying evidence for Robert's father has not yet been inspected.</ref> No contemporary record yet found establishes this James's birth, parents, wife, migration, or death.

Online pedigrees have described James as born in Ireland about 1722, emigrating to North America with his wife Mary in 1770, settling in Pennsylvania, being naturalised there in 1804 as “James Glassgo,” and dying about 1831 aged approximately 109. The located records have not been connected to one another or to Robert's father. The age-40 [[Glasgow-4024|James Glasgow buried at Cookstown in 1831]] was a different man.

The profile records James as the sixth great-grandfather of [[Scholten-278|Diane Scholten]]. That descent depends on the currently unproved identification of this profile as the father of the emigrant sibling group and should be treated as a tree relationship pending source-level proof.

Robert's 1834 pension declaration states that Robert was born in County Derry in 1749, had no written record of his age, and came to "Nottingham County Virginia" in 1769.<ref name="RobertPension">Robert Glasgow, Revolutionary War pension application R4057, declaration dated 1834, [https://revwarapps.org/r4057.pdf transcription and images].</ref> It does not name Robert's parents or siblings. Faris's later identification of Robert's father as James of Moneymore is therefore useful secondary evidence, but it is not independently proved.

=== Provenance of the compiled pedigree ===

The located publication trail does not support a death date for James. Faris's 1990 catalogue summary supplies no vital dates, wife, migration or death for the father.<ref name="Faris" />

The detailed family package can be traced to Brøderbund World Family Tree, volume 2, tree 6075 (1995), later imported into WeRelate. It gives James Glascow born about 1722, Mary Harkness born about 1727, a marriage about 1748, and sons Robert, Arthur and Joseph, but no death for either parent.<ref name="WFT1995">[https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person%3AJames_Glascow_%282%29 WeRelate, "James Glascow (2)"] and [https://www.werelate.org/w/index.php?oldid=14450844&amp;title=Person%3AJames_Glascow_%282%29 revision 14450844], derivative profile attributing the family to Brøderbund World Family Tree, volume 2, tree 6075. This documents pedigree provenance, not the events.</ref>

|-
| 1990 || Faris calls Robert a son of "James Glasgow of Moneymore"; the accessible summary gives no father's vital dates.

|-

|-

The 1831 death therefore did not originate in the located pedigree package. It was attached later without an identified source.

| [[Harkness-1149|Mary Harkness]] || Wife || No marriage or contemporary record identifies her as this James's wife. A 1770 compiled reference names James and Mary, but its date may indicate arrival, marriage, residence, or merely a first known mention.<ref name="TurkIndex">Ancestry.com, ''U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s–1900s'', record 7486 #2471134, Mary Glasgow, 1770, primary immigrant James Glasgow; derived from Marion G.

|-
| [[Glasgow-1543|Joseph Glasgow]] || Son || Joseph's 1831 will and an 1806 family letter prove that Joseph, Arthur and Robert belonged to the same sibling group, but do not identify their father.<ref name="JosephWill">Joseph Glasgow, Wythe County, Virginia, will dated 2 April 1831 and proved 11 April 1831, transcription at [https://swvirginians.wordpress.com/2014/12/12/joseph-glasgow-pulaski-co-va-will-of-1831/ Southwest Virginians]; [https://www.lva.virginia.gov/collections/ccmf/VA/VA305 Library of Virginia catalogue].</ref><ref name="Letter1806">Family letter dated 6 November 1806, transcribed in Faris, ''Glasgow Family'', pp. 14–19.</ref>
|-
| [[Glasgow-4027|John Glasgow]] || Son || John lived in the same Peters Township network as Robert, Arthur and Joseph. Joseph witnessed John's 1779 will, and Faris identifies John as the third emigrant brother. This is strong circumstantial evidence, but the will does not state the relationship.<ref name="JohnWill">Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Will Book C, p. 161, will of John Glasgow, dated 14 March and proved 3 September 1779; [https://www.sampubco.com/wills/pa/pacumberland01.htm published will-book index].</ref>
|-
| [[Glasgow-4030|Mary Glasgow, possibly Mary Arter]] || Daughter || Faris identifies will witness Mary Arter as the unnamed emigrant sister because she appears with Joseph and the other Glasgows in the same local record network. John's will calls her only a witness and does not state her maiden name or relationship.
|-
| [[Glasgow-3305|James Glasgow]] || Possible son || A James Glasgow signed the 1775 Cookstown dissenters' petition, but the record gives no age, family or townland. Two men of the name were already recorded at Drumearn in 1766. No record proves this James was another son who remained in Ireland.<ref name="Cookstown1775">1775 petition of Protestant dissenters associated with Cookstown congregation, PRONI T/808/15307; [https://cotyroneireland.com/misc/cookstown3.html transcription].</ref>
|}

The evidence establishes the Robert–Arthur–Joseph sibling group and makes John and Mary plausible additions. It does not prove that every proposed sibling was a child of this particular James. Y-DNA results from Robert's descendants support a paternal Glasgow line but cannot identify Robert's father without a documented comparison line.

=== Competing traditions ===

Faris states that Robert emigrated in 1769 with three brothers and a sister and first settled in the Nottingham community.<ref name="Faris"/> Ellen Glasgow's 1954 account instead says that Arthur, then about sixteen and described as a ward, emigrated in 1766 with his mother and elder brothers; it associates the family with Counties Down and Antrim.<ref name="Ellen"/> These accounts differ on date, party, and locality. Neither supports the claim that James and Mary themselves immigrated together in 1770.

|}

Nothing presently rules out Glasgow-1024 and Glasgow-2988 representing the same man, possibly also represented by the Corvanaghan occurrence in Glasgow-3137. A merge would nevertheless convert compatible geography and absence of later records into identity proof. The profiles should remain separate until a lease, estate rental, church record, probate document, family paper or American record supplies a direct bridge.

=== Ulster context ===

The 1740 Protestant-householder return names two James Glasgo householders in Derryloran.<ref name="1740Return">Bill Macafee, [https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf ''1740 Protestant Householders' Returns: Ulster Surname Index''], entries for Glasgo in Derryloran.</ref> The 1766 religious census transcript names two men called Jas Glasgo and one John Glasgo at Drumearn, with other Glasgow and Harkness householders in the wider Derryloran area.<ref name="1766Return">[https://www.cotyroneireland.com/census/1766derryloran.html "Religious Census, Derryloran Parish, 1766," CoTyroneIreland.com].</ref> These returns establish a local surname cluster, but supply no ages or relationships and do not identify Robert's father.

== Immigration and Naturalization ==

=== Compiled 1770 reference ===

The earlier profile interpreted the following compiled index entry as showing that James and Mary Glasgow arrived together in North America in 1770:

<blockquote>
"U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s," database, ({{Ancestry Record|7486|2471134}} : accessed 2 October 2022), Name: Mary Glasgow; Arrival Year: 1770; Arrival Place: North America; Primary Immigrant: Glasgow, James; Source Publication Code: 9228.50; Annotation: Date and port of arrival, date and place of marriage, or date and place of first mention of residence in the New World. Names were only indexed if birth overseas was specifically stated in source. An A following the page number indicates entry appears in; Source Bibliography: TURK, MARION G. ''The Quiet Adventurers in North America.'' Parts 1 and 2. Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1993. 670p.; Household Members Relationship: James Glasgow, Mary Glasgow Wife; citing Place North America, Year 1770, Page Number 249.
</blockquote>

The annotation expressly allows 1770 to mean arrival, marriage, or first known residence or mention in North America. It is not itself a passenger manifest. Until Turk's page 249 and its cited evidence are inspected, the defensible conclusion is only that a compiled work associates James and Mary Glasgow with North America and the year 1770.<ref name="TurkIndex" />

=== Pennsylvania naturalization index ===

In 1804 a man indexed as “James Glassgo” appeared in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania naturalization indexes.<ref name="Naturalization" />

The index establishes a same-name naturalization record. It does not by itself identify the applicant as Robert's father, Mary Harkness's husband, the person in Turk's 1770 reference, or “James Glasgow of Moneymore.” If born about 1722, the applicant would have been about eighty-two, making the underlying card and petition especially important. The earlier statement that this record confirmed this James's Irish birth and long United States residence therefore remains an interpretation to be tested, not an established conclusion.

== Identity and Relationship Questions ==

There is continuing ambiguity surrounding James's identity:

* He may be the same individual as [[Glasgow-2988|James Glasgow (about 1720–)]], but several local men shared the name and no bridging family record has been found.
* He may have been the father of [[Glasgow-2989|James Glasgow (about 1740–)]], or the profiles may preserve conflated same-name traditions.
* DNA and documentary research described at [[Space:Glasgow Ancient YDNA]] may help test the paternal network, but cannot replace a documentary generational bridge.

== Research Notes ==
=== Y-DNA pedigree audit ===

Private family details withheld.

Its reported earliest-ancestor label “James Glasgow” is consistent with Faris's later statement that Robert's father was James of Moneymore, but it remains a copied pedigree label. It cannot resolve whether that man is the conflicted WikiTree profile [[Glasgow-1024]].

This assessment draws on the cited records and public source material.<ref name="ProjectSource1">[https://search.worldcat.org/title/The-Glasgow-family-of-Adams-County-Ohio-%3A-a-genealogy-of-the-descendants-of-Robert-Glasgow-%281749-1839%29-and-his-wife-Rosanna-of-Bush-Creek-Adams-County-Ohio/oclc/22731567 WorldCat summary].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource2">[https://www.familysearch.org/en/memories/memory/16905684 FamilySearch Memories].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource3">[https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf 1740 Ulster religious return].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource4">[https://revwarapps.org/r4057.pdf Robert Glasgow pension declaration, R4057].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource5">[https://search.worldcat.org/title/22731567 WorldCat record].</ref>

=== Moneymore and local surname geography ===

The 1766 religious return explicitly covers Moneymore and Ballygrooby and names heads of families by denomination. It contains neither a Glasgow nor a Harkness household head.<ref name="Moneymore1766">[https://www.cotyroneireland.com/census/moneymore.html Religious Census of Moneymore, Ballygrooby and Artrea, 1766], transcription.</ref> This does not prove that no individual of either surname was present: servants, lodgers and dependants might not be named. It is nevertheless substantial negative evidence against the compiled claim that a married James and Mary maintained an established Moneymore household with several teenage children.

The Derryloran return instead names two "Jas. Glasgo" householders at Drumearn, other Glasgow households nearby, James Harkness in Cookstown and Robert Harkness at Oghless. The tradition may preserve the wider Cookstown–south Derry district rather than a documented Moneymore residence. None of these entries identifies Robert's father.

=== Glasgow–Harkness network ===

The surname pairing is locally plausible. In addition to Glasgow and Harkness households in the 1766 Derryloran return, a later published account identifies [[Glasgow-4026|Margaret Glasgow of Moneymore]] as the wife of [[Harkness-2200|James Harkness of Oritor]].<ref name="LaterHarknessMarriage">The Scotch-Irish Society of America, ''The Scotch-Irish in America: Proceedings and Addresses of the Third Congress'' (1892), biographical register entry for William Glasgow Harkness, [https://www.electricscotland.com/history/scotsirish/congress3-35.htm transcription].</ref> This later marriage shows that the two surname communities intermarried in the wider district and modestly strengthens the plausibility of the traditional Glasgow–Harkness pairing. It is about a century too late to identify [[Harkness-1149|Mary Harkness]] or prove her marriage to this James.

=== Composite records ===

The profile combines at least five unconnected strands:

# Faris's poorly documented "James Glasgow of Moneymore" tradition.
# The 1995 compiled James-and-Mary pedigree.
# A James Glasgow in Augusta and Cecil County records by 1747–1753.
# A James "Glassgo" in Pennsylvania naturalisation material in 1804.
# [[Glasgow-4024|James Glasgow of Cookstown]], aged 40, buried in 1831.

No located record bridges all five. The 1831 burial belongs to the younger Cookstown man and must not remain in this profile's structured death fields.

No source presently supports birth at Moneymore about 1721, the suffix "II," marriage to Mary Harkness in 1747, immigration in 1770, identity with the 1804 naturalisation applicant, or death at Moneymore in 1831.

The Ancestry entry derived from Marion Turk is not a passenger manifest. Its annotation permits 1770 to mean arrival, marriage, first residence, or first mention.<ref name="TurkIndex"/> The underlying page 249 should be inspected.

'''James Glasgow''' is named in a modern genealogy as "James Glasgow of Moneymore," father of [[Glasgow-12|Robert Glasgow]], who was born in County Londonderry in 1749.<ref name="Faris">David Faris, ''The Glasgow Family of Adams County, Ohio: A Genealogy of the Descendants of Robert Glasgow (1749–1839) and His Wife Rosanna of Bush Creek, Adams County, Ohio'' (1990); [https://search.worldcat.org/title/22731567 WorldCat catalogue record] and [https://search.worldcat.org/title/The-Glasgow-family-of-Adams-County-Ohio-%3A-a-genealogy-of-the-descendants-of-Robert-Glasgow-%281749-1839%29-and-his-wife-Rosanna-of-Bush-Creek-Adams-County-Ohio/oclc/22731567 captured catalogue URL]. The book's underlying evidence for Robert's father has not yet been inspected.</ref> No contemporary record yet found establishes this James's birth, parents, wife, migration, or death.

Online pedigrees have described James as born in Ireland about 1722, emigrating to North America with his wife Mary in 1770, settling in Pennsylvania, being naturalised there in 1804 as “James Glassgo,” and dying about 1831 aged approximately 109. The located records have not been connected to one another or to Robert's father. The age-40 [[Glasgow-4024|James Glasgow buried at Cookstown in 1831]] was a different man.

The profile records James as the sixth great-grandfather of [[Scholten-278|Diane Scholten]]. That descent depends on the currently unproved identification of this profile as the father of the emigrant sibling group and should be treated as a tree relationship pending source-level proof.

Robert's 1834 pension declaration states that Robert was born in County Derry in 1749, had no written record of his age, and came to "Nottingham County Virginia" in 1769.<ref name="RobertPension">Robert Glasgow, Revolutionary War pension application R4057, declaration dated 1834, [https://revwarapps.org/r4057.pdf transcription and images].</ref> It does not name Robert's parents or siblings. Faris's later identification of Robert's father as James of Moneymore is therefore useful secondary evidence, but it is not independently proved.

=== Provenance of the compiled pedigree ===

The located publication trail does not support a death date for James. Faris's 1990 catalogue summary supplies no vital dates, wife, migration or death for the father.<ref name="Faris" />

The detailed family package can be traced to Brøderbund World Family Tree, volume 2, tree 6075 (1995), later imported into WeRelate. It gives James Glascow born about 1722, Mary Harkness born about 1727, a marriage about 1748, and sons Robert, Arthur and Joseph, but no death for either parent.<ref name="WFT1995">[https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person%3AJames_Glascow_%282%29 WeRelate, "James Glascow (2)"] and [https://www.werelate.org/w/index.php?oldid=14450844&amp;title=Person%3AJames_Glascow_%282%29 revision 14450844], derivative profile attributing the family to Brøderbund World Family Tree, volume 2, tree 6075. This documents pedigree provenance, not the events.</ref>

|-
| 1990 || Faris calls Robert a son of "James Glasgow of Moneymore"; the accessible summary gives no father's vital dates.
|-
| 1995 || World Family Tree 6075 supplies estimated births, marriage and three sons, but no parental death dates.
|-

|-
| Later trees || An unsupported 1803 death appears.

The 1831 death therefore did not originate in the located pedigree package. It was attached later without an identified source.

|-
| [[Harkness-1149|Mary Harkness]] || Wife || No marriage or contemporary record identifies her as this James's wife. A 1770 compiled reference names James and Mary, but its date may indicate arrival, marriage, residence, or merely a first known mention.<ref name="TurkIndex">Ancestry.com, ''U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s–1900s'', record 7486 #2471134, Mary Glasgow, 1770, primary immigrant James Glasgow; derived from Marion G.

|-
| [[Glasgow-1543|Joseph Glasgow]] || Son || Joseph's 1831 will and an 1806 family letter prove that Joseph, Arthur and Robert belonged to the same sibling group, but do not identify their father.<ref name="JosephWill">Joseph Glasgow, Wythe County, Virginia, will dated 2 April 1831 and proved 11 April 1831, transcription at [https://swvirginians.wordpress.com/2014/12/12/joseph-glasgow-pulaski-co-va-will-of-1831/ Southwest Virginians]; [https://www.lva.virginia.gov/collections/ccmf/VA/VA305 Library of Virginia catalogue].</ref><ref name="Letter1806">Family letter dated 6 November 1806, transcribed in Faris, ''Glasgow Family'', pp. 14–19.</ref>
|-
| [[Glasgow-4027|John Glasgow]] || Son || John lived in the same Peters Township network as Robert, Arthur and Joseph. Joseph witnessed John's 1779 will, and Faris identifies John as the third emigrant brother. This is strong circumstantial evidence, but the will does not state the relationship.<ref name="JohnWill">Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Will Book C, p. 161, will of John Glasgow, dated 14 March and proved 3 September 1779; [https://www.sampubco.com/wills/pa/pacumberland01.htm published will-book index].</ref>
|-
| [[Glasgow-4030|Mary Glasgow, possibly Mary Arter]] || Daughter || Faris identifies will witness Mary Arter as the unnamed emigrant sister because she appears with Joseph and the other Glasgows in the same local record network. John's will calls her only a witness and does not state her maiden name or relationship.
|-
| [[Glasgow-3305|James Glasgow]] || Possible son || A James Glasgow signed the 1775 Cookstown dissenters' petition, but the record gives no age, family or townland. Two men of the name were already recorded at Drumearn in 1766. No record proves this James was another son who remained in Ireland.<ref name="Cookstown1775">1775 petition of Protestant dissenters associated with Cookstown congregation, PRONI T/808/15307; [https://cotyroneireland.com/misc/cookstown3.html transcription].</ref>
|}

The evidence establishes the Robert–Arthur–Joseph sibling group and makes John and Mary plausible additions. It does not prove that every proposed sibling was a child of this particular James. Y-DNA results from Robert's descendants support a paternal Glasgow line but cannot identify Robert's father without a documented comparison line.

=== Competing traditions ===

Faris states that Robert emigrated in 1769 with three brothers and a sister and first settled in the Nottingham community.<ref name="Faris"/> Ellen Glasgow's 1954 account instead says that Arthur, then about sixteen and described as a ward, emigrated in 1766 with his mother and elder brothers; it associates the family with Counties Down and Antrim.<ref name="Ellen"/> These accounts differ on date, party, and locality. Neither supports the claim that James and Mary themselves immigrated together in 1770.

Nothing presently rules out Glasgow-1024 and Glasgow-2988 representing the same man, possibly also represented by the Corvanaghan occurrence in Glasgow-3137. A merge would nevertheless convert compatible geography and absence of later records into identity proof. The profiles should remain separate until a lease, estate rental, church record, probate document, family paper or American record supplies a direct bridge.

=== Ulster context ===

The 1740 Protestant-householder return names two James Glasgo householders in Derryloran.<ref name="1740Return">Bill Macafee, [https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf ''1740 Protestant Householders' Returns: Ulster Surname Index''], entries for Glasgo in Derryloran.</ref> The 1766 religious census transcript names two men called Jas Glasgo and one John Glasgo at Drumearn, with other Glasgow and Harkness householders in the wider Derryloran area.<ref name="1766Return">[https://www.cotyroneireland.com/census/1766derryloran.html "Religious Census, Derryloran Parish, 1766," CoTyroneIreland.com].</ref> These returns establish a local surname cluster, but supply no ages or relationships and do not identify Robert's father.

== Immigration and Naturalization ==

=== Compiled 1770 reference ===

The earlier profile interpreted the following compiled index entry as showing that James and Mary Glasgow arrived together in North America in 1770:

<blockquote>
"U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s," database, ({{Ancestry Record|7486|2471134}} : accessed 2 October 2022), Name: Mary Glasgow; Arrival Year: 1770; Arrival Place: North America; Primary Immigrant: Glasgow, James; Source Publication Code: 9228.50; Annotation: Date and port of arrival, date and place of marriage, or date and place of first mention of residence in the New World. Names were only indexed if birth overseas was specifically stated in source. An A following the page number indicates entry appears in; Source Bibliography: TURK, MARION G. ''The Quiet Adventurers in North America.'' Parts 1 and 2. Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1993. 670p.; Household Members Relationship: James Glasgow, Mary Glasgow Wife; citing Place North America, Year 1770, Page Number 249.
</blockquote>

The annotation expressly allows 1770 to mean arrival, marriage, or first known residence or mention in North America. It is not itself a passenger manifest. Until Turk's page 249 and its cited evidence are inspected, the defensible conclusion is only that a compiled work associates James and Mary Glasgow with North America and the year 1770.<ref name="TurkIndex" />

=== Pennsylvania naturalization index ===

In 1804 a man indexed as “James Glassgo” appeared in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania naturalization indexes.<ref name="Naturalization">"Pennsylvania, Eastern District Naturalization Indexes, 1795-1952," database with images, FamilySearch ([https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KXX1-HYS https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KXX1-HYS] : 9 March 2018), James Glassgo, 1804; citing Naturalization, Pennsylvania, United States, NARA microfilm publication.</ref>

The index establishes a same-name naturalization record. It does not by itself identify the applicant as Robert's father, Mary Harkness's husband, the person in Turk's 1770 reference, or “James Glasgow of Moneymore.” If born about 1722, the applicant would have been about eighty-two, making the underlying card and petition especially important. The earlier statement that this record confirmed this James's Irish birth and long United States residence therefore remains an interpretation to be tested, not an established conclusion.

== Identity and Relationship Questions ==

There is continuing ambiguity surrounding James's identity:

* He may be the same individual as [[Glasgow-2988|James Glasgow (about 1720–)]], but several local men shared the name and no bridging family record has been found.
* He may have been the father of [[Glasgow-2989|James Glasgow (about 1740–)]], or the profiles may preserve conflated same-name traditions.
* DNA and documentary research described at [[Space:Glasgow Ancient YDNA]] may help test the paternal network, but cannot replace a documentary generational bridge.

== Research Notes ==
=== Y-DNA pedigree audit ===

Private family details withheld.

Its reported earliest-ancestor label “James Glasgow” is consistent with Faris's later statement that Robert's father was James of Moneymore, but it remains a copied pedigree label. It cannot resolve whether that man is the conflicted WikiTree profile [[Glasgow-1024]].

This assessment draws on the cited records and public source material.<ref name="ProjectSource1">[https://search.worldcat.org/title/The-Glasgow-family-of-Adams-County-Ohio-%3A-a-genealogy-of-the-descendants-of-Robert-Glasgow-%281749-1839%29-and-his-wife-Rosanna-of-Bush-Creek-Adams-County-Ohio/oclc/22731567 WorldCat summary].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource2">[https://www.familysearch.org/en/memories/memory/16905684 FamilySearch Memories].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource3">[https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf 1740 Ulster religious return].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource4">[https://revwarapps.org/r4057.pdf Robert Glasgow pension declaration, R4057].</ref><ref name="ProjectSource5">[https://search.worldcat.org/title/22731567 WorldCat record].</ref>

=== Moneymore and local surname geography ===

The 1766 religious return explicitly covers Moneymore and Ballygrooby and names heads of families by denomination. It contains neither a Glasgow nor a Harkness household head.<ref name="Moneymore1766">[https://www.cotyroneireland.com/census/moneymore.html Religious Census of Moneymore, Ballygrooby and Artrea, 1766], transcription.</ref> This does not prove that no individual of either surname was present: servants, lodgers and dependants might not be named. It is nevertheless substantial negative evidence against the compiled claim that a married James and Mary maintained an established Moneymore household with several teenage children.

The Derryloran return instead names two "Jas. Glasgo" householders at Drumearn, other Glasgow households nearby, James Harkness in Cookstown and Robert Harkness at Oghless. The tradition may preserve the wider Cookstown–south Derry district rather than a documented Moneymore residence. None of these entries identifies Robert's father.

=== Glasgow–Harkness network ===

The surname pairing is locally plausible. In addition to Glasgow and Harkness households in the 1766 Derryloran return, a later published account identifies [[Glasgow-4026|Margaret Glasgow of Moneymore]] as the wife of [[Harkness-2200|James Harkness of Oritor]].<ref name="LaterHarknessMarriage">The Scotch-Irish Society of America, ''The Scotch-Irish in America: Proceedings and Addresses of the Third Congress'' (1892), biographical register entry for William Glasgow Harkness, [https://www.electricscotland.com/history/scotsirish/congress3-35.htm transcription].</ref> This later marriage shows that the two surname communities intermarried in the wider district and modestly strengthens the plausibility of the traditional Glasgow–Harkness pairing. It is about a century too late to identify [[Harkness-1149|Mary Harkness]] or prove her marriage to this James.

=== Composite records ===

The profile combines at least five unconnected strands:

# Faris's poorly documented "James Glasgow of Moneymore" tradition.
# The 1995 compiled James-and-Mary pedigree.
# A James Glasgow in Augusta and Cecil County records by 1747–1753.
# A James "Glassgo" in Pennsylvania naturalisation material in 1804.
# [[Glasgow-4024|James Glasgow of Cookstown]], aged 40, buried in 1831.

No located record bridges all five. The 1831 burial belongs to the younger Cookstown man and must not remain in this profile's structured death fields.

No source presently supports birth at Moneymore about 1721, the suffix "II," marriage to Mary Harkness in 1747, immigration in 1770, identity with the 1804 naturalisation applicant, or death at Moneymore in 1831.

The Ancestry entry derived from Marion Turk is not a passenger manifest. Its annotation permits 1770 to mean arrival, marriage, first residence, or first mention.<ref name="TurkIndex"/> The underlying page 249 should be inspected.

=== FamilySearch full-text deed search ===

A focused FamilySearch full-text search covered James Glasgow, James Glasgo, James Glascow, Mary Harkness and Mary Glasgow in eighteenth-century Moneymore, Derryloran, Cookstown and Kilrea. No matching record naming Mary Harkness or Mary Glasgow was found.

The James results were inspected rather than assigned by name alone. They concern already-separated men in Larne and the Aghadonvane/Leitrim-Donegal network, including a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-J9XP-J 1766 Larne ropemaker deed], a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-N9YN-4 1776 Aghadonvane mortgage], a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-P9LW-G 1780 Aghadonvane transaction], and a [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-9WVP-C 1778 Larne farmer affidavit]. None names Moneymore, Derryloran, Cookstown, Kilrea, Mary Harkness or the emigrant sibling group. No result can presently be assigned to this James.
