Current profile17The separate probate transcription reviewed in July 2026 supplies only the year 1759. The full date should therefore be retained only as an indexed record date, not automatically treated as the date of death.

Current profile19The agreement in name, exact residence and year makes the 1759 probate entry a strong match to this profile. It establishes Drumearn as James’s documented residence at the time of the estate proceeding. It does not prove that Drumearn was his birthplace or place of death.

Current profile38The same will-index page also includes an entry for '''William Glasgow of Killycooragh, County Tyrone''', dated '''17 December 1770'''. No relationship between William and James has been established. Similarity of surname, county and probate context is not sufficient to attach William as a son or other relative.
