Current profile6'''[[Glasgow-1093|John Glasgow]]''' was born before '''1516''' as a conservative working boundary, with roughly 1505–1516 a reasonable genealogical range. No birth record supplies his year or place. He was already married and receiving property with his spouse in 1534, so the boundary is inferred from adult activity and is not a recorded birth year. Glasgow, Lanarkshire is retained as an uncertain birthplace lead. He was an active burgess there in the mid-16th century.

No competing adult William Glasgow appears in the complete published Glasgow protocol sequence through 1586. Jonet remains an uncertain mother because the act calls her John's spouse but not explicitly William's mother.

Current profile24On 28 October 1564 John entered the fore tenement as heir of William, explicitly called his father.

Together with the matching four-shilling rent, this is strong property succession and makes a close family transfer—most plausibly father to son—a serious hypothesis. The 1564 act directly proves the later William-to-John inheritance.

Current profile26The back tenement granted to John and Jonet in 1534 fits the rear portion of the same block. In 1563 John senior and Jonet conveyed to their son John property bounded by Robert Young, the late John Rankin and St Mary's collegiate-church land.<ref name="P748" /> In November 1564 Eufame Craig, widow of an unnamed Glasgow, sold John senior her liferent in the corresponding back tenement; John then sold the adjoining fore tenement. [[Herbison-475|Archibald Herbisoune]], proved husband of [[Glasgow-3916|Isobella Glasgow]], witnessed John’s sale.<ref name="P809">Renwick, [https://archive.org/details/abstractsprotoc06scogoog/page/n71/mode/2up ''Abstracts of Protocols'', vol. 3, protocols 809–810], 16 November 1564, printed pp. 58–59.</ref> The most likely reconstruction is that Eufame was the older John's widow and that her reserved liferent survived the fee's passage to William. That fits the title better than making her William's widow, which would require Esbell Brade's death and William's remarriage within about fourteen months. Craig witnesses and the same-day sale of the fore tenement to William Craig support a coordinated family settlement. The fee-and-liferent sequence strongly identifies the 1534 and 1564 rear parcel. On 5 February 1565/66 William Craig conveyed the fore parcel to his son Archibald Craig and Archibald's wife Margaret Smith; the late Rankin, Robert Young and John Glasgow back-tenement boundaries remained unchanged.<ref name="P860">Renwick, [https://archive.org/details/abstractsprotoc06scogoog/page/n89/mode/2up ''Abstracts of Protocols'', vol. 3, protocol 860], printed pp. 77–78.</ref>

Current profile56The testament names the Hirmanscheillis John's widow Margaret Hoghame and their lawful daughters Katherine and Marjorie Glasgow, but no parent or sibling. The 1563 and 1571 burgh protocols prove that this John had a son John of the correct generation. Identification of that son with [[Glasgow-3181|the Hirmanscheillis testator]] remains possible rather than proved.

Current profile63Protocol 1196 proves that William Glasgow and Esbell Brade were John's parents. Protocol 805 independently records John receiving sasine as heir of William and explicitly calls William “his father.”<ref name="P805" /> The matching Rankin–Young boundaries identify the inherited property as William's fore tenement and narrow William's death to 17 February 1534/35–16 March 1535/36.

Current profile67The exact transfer from the older John Glasgow to William has not been found, but the documentary search interval is now 2 May 1527 to 20 February 1528/29, about twenty-one and a half months. The 1548 collegiate-church sasine repeats the older John's 1527 title-description and boundaries, but this may be copied wording for the four-shilling annual rent rather than current possession. Eufame Craig's deceased Glasgow husband is unnamed in the printed abstract. Her liferent and the surrounding Craig transactions make the older John her likeliest husband and suggest that the interest was reserved before the fee passed to William. The original archive targets are [https://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/details.aspx?reference=NP1%2f5 NRS NP1/5] for the 1534–36 Fleming protocols and [https://cityarchives.glasgowlife.org.uk/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=B%2f10%2f1%2f3 Glasgow City Archives B/10/1/3], especially protocol 809 at folio 54. No second published occurrence identifies Eufame's husband. An independent textual control is [https://manuscripts.nls.uk/repositories/2/archival_objects/12930 NLS Adv.MS.9A.1.12], with microfilm Mf.Sec.MSS.156; it has not yet been inspected.

Current profile71[[Glasgow-3916|Isobella Glasgow]], wife of Archibald Herbisoune, is probably John's sister on strong circumstantial evidence. Archibald witnessed John sell the exact fore tenement which John had entered only nineteen days earlier as heir of their proposed father William.<ref name="P809"/> Isobella also repeats proposed mother Esbell/Isobel Brade's forename and fits the generation. The witness clause does not call Archibald John's brother-in-law, so Isobella's parent links must remain uncertain.
