Suggested update to the WikiTree profile

This study has prepared revised text for the public WikiTree profile. WikiTree editors can compare it with the current profile and copy it; the research account above is the study's own.

Set the father link to Glasgow-1502 to uncertain (it has no status; the other three sons' links are uncertain). Keep the attachment. Add the caution that Robert-1502 is recorded only for the South Side in 1700-1701. Birth about 1708 or earlier; death after 20 December 1764, probably after April 1772.

Compared with Glasgow-1143, captured 2026-09-27T03:22:58+00:00 · 2026-09-21. This amendment requires manual action in WikiTree; the comparison shows the saved biography and prepared replacement. Relationship, confidence and vital-field changes must be applied separately.

== Biography ==
'''Robert Glasgow''' was a farmer and Presbyterian church elder at Kilwaughter, County Antrim. A derivative chronology reports his November 1729 marriage to Rachel Wilson and the births of James, Ann and Rachel.<ref name="KilwaughterChronology">Donna Jean Glasgow, [https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184247id_/http://lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Kilwaughter/Timeline.html “Chronology of the Glasgow Family”], archived 24 November 2010, derived from PRONI MIC/1B/6.</ref> Registry memorial 74015 independently identifies Rachel, formerly Wilson, as Robert's wife in 1738.<ref name="Mem74015">[https://www.irishdeedsindex.net/mem.php?memorial=74015 Registry of Deeds memorial 74015], vol. 105, p. 301, 13 February 1738, derivative memorial transcription.</ref> An 1817 equity complaint says Rachel died in 1742 leaving James and Ann, and Robert's grandson later called Rachel his paternal grandmother and Ann his father's sister.<ref name="EquityComplaint">[https://web.archive.org/web/20101124220018id_/http://lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Paper_Complaint.html 1817 equity complaint transcription].</ref><ref name="EquityReply">[https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184247id_/http://www.lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Paper_Reply.html Robert Glasgow's sworn answer transcription].</ref> These sources strongly support Robert's nuclear family. No inspected record identifies his father.

=== Original lease names his son, 1764 ===

On 20 December 1764 Robert Glasgow of Ballykeel, parish of Kilwaughter, gentleman, leased to [[Shannon-4518|Hugh Shannon]] of the same parish half the lower Ballykeel farm, estimated at 31½ acres. The measuring lives explicitly include Robert the grantor and “Jas Glasgow son of the sd Robt”. This is direct contemporary evidence for a son James, identified with [[Glasgow-1144|James Glasgow]] by the combined Ballykeel, church and Wilson-estate evidence. The third life, Elinor Jones otherwise Agnew, is called William Agnew’s daughter; she is not a member of Robert’s household.<ref name="Ballykeel1764">Registry of Deeds, memorial 159661, lease dated 20 December 1764, registered 18 April 1766, pp. 415–416; [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-33Q6-L FamilySearch image 542] and [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-33QZ-Y image 543], original manuscript images inspected 21 September 2026.</ref>

The lease does not name Robert’s father or call Hugh Shannon his son-in-law. It independently strengthens the Robert–James connection without proving the older attached ancestry. James Shutter’s affidavit of execution was sworn at Carrickfergus on 29 March 1766.

=== Timeline of Relevant Events (Kilwaughter/Larne Context) ===

* '''1747:''' '''[[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]]''' was brought before the church session for the sin of fornication. Refusing public confession, he was turned out of the Kilwaughter/Larne Presbyterian Church. The session account names no woman or child and does not establish the parentage of [[Glasgow-1022|John Glasgow]].
* '''1772 (1 April):''' An archived source note for PRONI T808/15082 places Robert Glasgow, James Glasgow and Hugh Shannon consecutively under Kilwaughter Parish. John Glasgow appears separately under Larne Parish. The grouping supports association among the Kilwaughter men but the petition itself states no kinship; it does not identify [[Glasgow-1022|John Glasgow]] as Robert's son. The 7 April date belongs to newspaper publication, not the petition.<ref name="Petition1772">Donna Jean Glasgow, [https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184109/http://lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Kilwaughter/sources.html archived source notes], citing PRONI T808/15082 and the ''Belfast News-Letter'', 7 April 1772.</ref>
* '''1772 (Late) / 1773:''' '''[[Glasgow-1144|James Glasgow]]''' (son of [[Glasgow-1143|Robert]] and Rachel Willson), and his wife Mary (speculated Crozier), immigrated to Craven County, South Carolina. Earliest documented date for James in SC is Nov 16, 1774.

=== 1772 petition: evidential limit ===

The Kilwaughter grouping supports the identification of Robert and his proved or strongly supported family associates [[Glasgow-1144|James Glasgow]] and Hugh Shannon. Because John Glasgow was listed under Larne and the petition supplies no relationships, it cannot prove that [[Glasgow-1022|John Glasgow]] was Robert's son.<ref name="Petition1772" />

=== Original deed checks, 1738–1743 ===
The original continuation of memorial 74015, a lease dated 13 February 1738, names Robert Glasgow, [[Glasgow-1144|Jas Glasgow junior]] and [[Willson-888|Rachel Glasgow otherwise Wilson]], explicitly described as Robert's wife. The association of James with the linked profile draws on the combined church and later deed evidence, including the explicit 1764 son clause; this 1738 instrument alone does not establish that parentage. The holding comprised 63 acres of Lower Ballykeel and 15 acres of Upper Ballykeel. Patrick Taylor proved execution at Carrickfergus on 12 April 1742. This confirms the wife clause previously known through an abstract; "junior" is not an explicit son clause, and the renewal wording abbreviates "person and persons", not sons. Robert's father is not named.<ref>Registry of Deeds, memorial 74015, pp. 301–302; [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-B9MS opening] and [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-B99B continuation], original images inspected 21 September 2026.</ref>

Memorial 76724 records William Agnew's lease to Rev. Josias Clugston of 45 acres of Ballyboly in Larne parish, dated 17 June 1741. Pat Crawford of Ballysavage and Robert Glasgow of Kilwaughter, farmer, witnessed it; Robert proved execution at Belfast on 21 April 1743, and registration followed on 13 June 1743. The manuscript year is 1743, not the automated transcription's 1748. Identification of this farmer with this Robert is plausible, but name and place alone do not expressly exclude [[Glasgow-1502|the older Robert Glasgow]]. No kinship is stated.<ref>Registry of Deeds, memorial 76724, pp. 476–477, image 577; [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-S4ML original image], inspected 21 September 2026.</ref>

* '''1740''' – Year of the great frost. On the last day of 1739, Ireland awoke to find itself in the grip of what was in effect a mini ice age. In its wake came an almost Biblical ordeal by drought, flood, fire, famine and plague, that has few parallels in the recorded history of the island.(2) As a result of the frost and a prolonged drought that followed it, famine struck Ireland and caused yet another wave of emigration to the American colonies.

* '''1741''' - Registry of Deeds Office Dublin Volumn 109 page 476 No 76724.
* '''1742''' – Rachel Wilson Glasgow, wife of Robert Glasgow, died. The cause of her death at her young age (probably about 30) is unknown. The most common cause of death for a woman her age was childbirth; but too, the years of 1741, 1742 were years of drought, death and sickness all over Ireland.
* '''1743''' – Robert Glasgow, as senior elder, attended meeting of the Presbytery in Belfast; attended several similar meetings.
* '''1744''' – Robert Glasgow became church treasurer of Larne/Kilwaughter Presbyterian Church.
* '''1745''' – Birth of Hugh Glasgow (1745 – 1756, died at age 11), son of Hugh Glasgow.
* '''1747''' – Robert Glasgow was brought before the session for the sin of fornication and, refusing to confess publicly, was turned out of the Kilwaughter/Larne Presbyterian Church.
* '''1772''' – April 7, 1772 – Citizens of the Parishes of Larne, Kilwaughter and Ralloo sign a petition stating their abhorrence against the crimes perpetrated by the "Hearts of Steel"” Signed by William Glasgow, James Glasgow, James Finley, John Glasgow, and a second James Glasgow, all of the Parish of Larne; and from the Parish of Kilwaughter, Robert Glasgow, James Glasgow, and Hugh Shannon, all three names appearing in succession. [Note: The fact that Robert Glasgow, James Glasgow and Hugh Shannon signed this petition in Kilwaughter Parish, with the same document establishing two other James Glasgows from Larne, convinces me that this is our ancestor, Robert Glasgow, still living in 1772, together with his son, James and his son-in-law Hugh Shannon. By this evidence, I accept that James Glasgow did not emigrate to South Carolina until AFTER April of 1772. The ideal time for departure was after farmers had had a chance to harvest their crops in the fall. Also, is James Finley the same James Finley who witnessed James Glasgow's will in South Carolina?].
* '''1772'''  or 1773 – (Probably late in the year 1772 after crops were in) James Glasgow and his wife, Mary Crozier* Glasgow (James being the son of Robert Glasgow and Rachel Willson), immigrated to Craven County, South Carolina in North America. The earliest documented date for James Glasgow in South Carolina is 16 November 1774 when he witnessed a land transaction—see 1774 below).

* '''Robert Glasgow2''' (b. ca 1710, estimated based on date of marriage to Rachel Willson in 1729)
=== Parish of Kilwaughter: ===
* '''Robert2 Glasgow'''
* '''James3 Glasgow''' (son of Robert)
* '''Hugh Shannon''' (son-in-law of Robert)

'''Note:''' At the time of the signing of the petition James1 Glasgow is deceased and James5 Glasgow is not yet born. From this petition, it's concluded that our direct Glasgow ancestor, Robert Glasgow of Kilwaughter Parish, was still alive in 1772, and that his son James Glasgow had not yet emigrated to South Carolina as of April, 1772.

== Biography ==
'''Robert Glasgow''' was a farmer and Presbyterian church elder at Kilwaughter, County Antrim. A derivative chronology reports his November 1729 marriage to Rachel Wilson and the births of James, Ann and Rachel.<ref name="KilwaughterChronology">Donna Jean Glasgow, [https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184247id_/http://lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Kilwaughter/Timeline.html “Chronology of the Glasgow Family”], archived 24 November 2010, derived from PRONI MIC/1B/6.</ref> Registry memorial 74015 independently identifies Rachel, formerly Wilson, as Robert's wife in 1738.<ref name="Mem74015">[https://www.irishdeedsindex.net/mem.php?memorial=74015 Registry of Deeds memorial 74015], vol. 105, p. 301, 13 February 1738, derivative memorial transcription.</ref> An 1817 equity complaint says Rachel died in 1742 leaving James and Ann, and Robert's grandson later called Rachel his paternal grandmother and Ann his father's sister.<ref name="EquityComplaint">[https://web.archive.org/web/20101124220018id_/http://lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Paper_Complaint.html 1817 equity complaint transcription].</ref><ref name="EquityReply">[https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184247id_/http://www.lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Paper_Reply.html Robert Glasgow's sworn answer transcription].</ref> These sources strongly support Robert's nuclear family. No inspected record identifies his father.

=== Original lease names his son, 1764 ===

On 20 December 1764 Robert Glasgow of Ballykeel, parish of Kilwaughter, gentleman, leased to [[Shannon-4518|Hugh Shannon]] of the same parish half the lower Ballykeel farm, estimated at 31½ acres. The measuring lives explicitly include Robert the grantor and “Jas Glasgow son of the sd Robt”. This is direct contemporary evidence for a son James, identified with [[Glasgow-1144|James Glasgow]] by the combined Ballykeel, church and Wilson-estate evidence. The third life, Elinor Jones otherwise Agnew, is called William Agnew’s daughter; she is not a member of Robert’s household.<ref name="Ballykeel1764">Registry of Deeds, memorial 159661, lease dated 20 December 1764, registered 18 April 1766, pp. 415–416; [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-33Q6-L FamilySearch image 542] and [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-33QZ-Y image 543], original manuscript images inspected 21 September 2026.</ref>

The lease does not name Robert’s father or call Hugh Shannon his son-in-law. It independently strengthens the Robert–James connection without proving the older attached ancestry. James Shutter’s affidavit of execution was sworn at Carrickfergus on 29 March 1766.

=== Timeline of Relevant Events (Kilwaughter/Larne Context) ===

* '''c. 1710:''' Approximate, uncertain birth year. The attached [[Glasgow-1502|older Robert Glasgow]], and the proposed siblings [[Glasgow-1499|Hugh]] and [[Glasgow-1504|James]], remain unproved relationships.
* '''1722:''' A James Glasgow (possibly [[Glasgow-1081|James Glasgow (abt.1650-1726)]] or [[Glasgow-1504|James Glasgow (abt.1707-)]]?) served as one of six Commissioners to the Presbytery.

** Jean (b. 1728)
** William ("Will") (b. 1730)
** Hellen (b. 1732)
** Christian (b. 1740)
* '''1729:''' '''[[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]]''' married Rachel Willson [[Willson-888|Rachel Willson?]] in the Kilwaughter/Larne Presbyterian Church.
* '''1731:''' Baptism of '''[[Glasgow-1144|James Glasgow]]''', son of [[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]] and Rachel Willson, Kilwaughter/Larne Presbyterian Church.
* '''1731:''' '''[[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]]''' became a Church Elder in Kilwaughter/Larne Presbyterian Church.
* '''1731:''' Baptism of Jean Glasgow, daughter of [[Glasgow-1499|Hugh Glasgow]], recorded in New Town (Larne).
* '''1733:''' Baptism of '''[[Glasgow-1500|Ann Taggard Glasgow]]''', daughter of [[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]] and Rachel Wilson, Kilwaughter/Larne Presbyterian Church.
* '''1735:''' Baptism of Rose Glasgow, daughter of [[Glasgow-1499|Hugh Glasgow]], of New Town, Larne.
* '''1736:''' Baptism of Mary Glasgow, daughter of [[Glasgow-1499|Hugh Glasgow]], of New Town, Larne.
* '''1737:''' Birth of James Glasgow, son of [[Glasgow-1499|Hugh Glasgow]], New Town, Larne. (Likely [[Glasgow-1509|James Glasgow (1737–1802)]], wife Janet Shutter, per St. Cedma's tombstone).
* '''1738:''' '''[[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]]''' leased land from William Agnew in Kilwaughter Parish.
* '''1738:''' Baptism of '''[[Glasgow-1501|Rachel Glasgow]]''', daughter of [[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]] and Rachel Wilson, Kilwaughter/Larne Presbyterian Church.
* '''1739:''' A John Glasgow ("John2" distinct from John b.c1650) captained the Ship Abigail of Belfast. (Port-News article in Belfast News Letter).
* '''1740:''' Year of the "Great Frost" causing famine and emigration.
* '''1741:''' [[Glasgow-1499|Hugh Glasgow]] made elder of the Larne/Kilwaughter Presbyterian Church.
* '''1741:''' '''[[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]]''' witnessed a deed registered in Dublin (Vol 109, p 476, No 76724) involving land in Larne parish leased by Rev Josias Clugston from William Agnew. Robert is described as a farmer of Kilwaughter.
* '''1742:''' Death of Rachel Willson [[Willson-888|Rachel Willson?]], wife of '''[[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]]'''. Possible causes include childbirth or widespread sickness following the Great Frost.
* '''1743:''' '''[[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]]''', as senior elder, attended meeting of the Presbytery in Belfast and several similar meetings.
* '''1744:''' '''[[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]]''' became church treasurer of Larne/Kilwaughter Presbyterian Church.
* '''1745:''' Birth of Hugh Glasgow ("Hugh3"), son of [[Glasgow-1499|Hugh Glasgow]]. Died age 11 (1745–1756).
* '''1747:''' '''[[Glasgow-1143|Robert Glasgow]]''' was brought before the church session for the sin of fornication. Refusing public confession, he was turned out of the Kilwaughter/Larne Presbyterian Church. The session account names no woman or child and does not establish the parentage of [[Glasgow-1022|John Glasgow]].
* '''1772 (1 April):''' An archived source note for PRONI T808/15082 places Robert Glasgow, James Glasgow and Hugh Shannon consecutively under Kilwaughter Parish. John Glasgow appears separately under Larne Parish. The grouping supports association among the Kilwaughter men but the petition itself states no kinship; it does not identify [[Glasgow-1022|John Glasgow]] as Robert's son. The 7 April date belongs to newspaper publication, not the petition.<ref name="Petition1772">Donna Jean Glasgow, [https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184109/http://lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Kilwaughter/sources.html archived source notes], citing PRONI T808/15082 and the ''Belfast News-Letter'', 7 April 1772.</ref>
* '''1772 (Late) / 1773:''' '''[[Glasgow-1144|James Glasgow]]''' (son of [[Glasgow-1143|Robert]] and Rachel Willson), and his wife Mary (speculated Crozier), immigrated to Craven County, South Carolina. Earliest documented date for James in SC is Nov 16, 1774.

=== 1772 petition: evidential limit ===

The Kilwaughter grouping supports the identification of Robert and his proved or strongly supported family associates [[Glasgow-1144|James Glasgow]] and Hugh Shannon. Because John Glasgow was listed under Larne and the petition supplies no relationships, it cannot prove that [[Glasgow-1022|John Glasgow]] was Robert's son.<ref name="Petition1772" />

=== Original deed checks, 1738–1743 ===
The original continuation of memorial 74015, a lease dated 13 February 1738, names Robert Glasgow, [[Glasgow-1144|Jas Glasgow junior]] and [[Willson-888|Rachel Glasgow otherwise Wilson]], explicitly described as Robert's wife. The association of James with the linked profile draws on the combined church and later deed evidence, including the explicit 1764 son clause; this 1738 instrument alone does not establish that parentage. The holding comprised 63 acres of Lower Ballykeel and 15 acres of Upper Ballykeel. Patrick Taylor proved execution at Carrickfergus on 12 April 1742. This confirms the wife clause previously known through an abstract; "junior" is not an explicit son clause, and the renewal wording abbreviates "person and persons", not sons. Robert's father is not named.<ref>Registry of Deeds, memorial 74015, pp. 301–302; [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-B9MS opening] and [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-B99B continuation], original images inspected 21 September 2026.</ref>

Memorial 76724 records William Agnew's lease to Rev. Josias Clugston of 45 acres of Ballyboly in Larne parish, dated 17 June 1741. Pat Crawford of Ballysavage and Robert Glasgow of Kilwaughter, farmer, witnessed it; Robert proved execution at Belfast on 21 April 1743, and registration followed on 13 June 1743. The manuscript year is 1743, not the automated transcription's 1748. Identification of this farmer with this Robert is plausible, but name and place alone do not expressly exclude [[Glasgow-1502|the older Robert Glasgow]]. No kinship is stated.<ref>Registry of Deeds, memorial 76724, pp. 476–477, image 577; [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-S4ML original image], inspected 21 September 2026.</ref>

* '''1740''' – Year of the great frost. On the last day of 1739, Ireland awoke to find itself in the grip of what was in effect a mini ice age. In its wake came an almost Biblical ordeal by drought, flood, fire, famine and plague, that has few parallels in the recorded history of the island.(2) As a result of the frost and a prolonged drought that followed it, famine struck Ireland and caused yet another wave of emigration to the American colonies.
* '''1741''' – Hugh Glasgow made elder of the Larne/Kilwaughter Presbyterian Church.
* '''1741''' - Registry of Deeds Office Dublin Volumn 109 page 476 No 76724.
* '''1742''' – Rachel Wilson Glasgow, wife of Robert Glasgow, died. The cause of her death at her young age (probably about 30) is unknown. The most common cause of death for a woman her age was childbirth; but too, the years of 1741, 1742 were years of drought, death and sickness all over Ireland.
* '''1743''' – Robert Glasgow, as senior elder, attended meeting of the Presbytery in Belfast; attended several similar meetings.
* '''1744''' – Robert Glasgow became church treasurer of Larne/Kilwaughter Presbyterian Church.
* '''1745''' – Birth of Hugh Glasgow (1745 – 1756, died at age 11), son of Hugh Glasgow.
* '''1747''' – Robert Glasgow was brought before the session for the sin of fornication and, refusing to confess publicly, was turned out of the Kilwaughter/Larne Presbyterian Church.
* '''1772''' – April 7, 1772 – Citizens of the Parishes of Larne, Kilwaughter and Ralloo sign a petition stating their abhorrence against the crimes perpetrated by the "Hearts of Steel"” Signed by William Glasgow, James Glasgow, James Finley, John Glasgow, and a second James Glasgow, all of the Parish of Larne; and from the Parish of Kilwaughter, Robert Glasgow, James Glasgow, and Hugh Shannon, all three names appearing in succession. [Note: The fact that Robert Glasgow, James Glasgow and Hugh Shannon signed this petition in Kilwaughter Parish, with the same document establishing two other James Glasgows from Larne, convinces me that this is our ancestor, Robert Glasgow, still living in 1772, together with his son, James and his son-in-law Hugh Shannon. By this evidence, I accept that James Glasgow did not emigrate to South Carolina until AFTER April of 1772. The ideal time for departure was after farmers had had a chance to harvest their crops in the fall. Also, is James Finley the same James Finley who witnessed James Glasgow's will in South Carolina?].
* '''1772'''  or 1773 – (Probably late in the year 1772 after crops were in) James Glasgow and his wife, Mary Crozier* Glasgow (James being the son of Robert Glasgow and Rachel Willson), immigrated to Craven County, South Carolina in North America. The earliest documented date for James Glasgow in South Carolina is 16 November 1774 when he witnessed a land transaction—see 1774 below).

* '''Robert Glasgow2''' (b. ca 1710, estimated based on date of marriage to Rachel Willson in 1729)
=== Parish of Kilwaughter: ===
* '''Robert2 Glasgow'''
* '''James3 Glasgow''' (son of Robert)
* '''Hugh Shannon''' (son-in-law of Robert)

'''Note:''' At the time of the signing of the petition James1 Glasgow is deceased and James5 Glasgow is not yet born. From this petition, it's concluded that our direct Glasgow ancestor, Robert Glasgow of Kilwaughter Parish, was still alive in 1772, and that his son James Glasgow had not yet emigrated to South Carolina as of April, 1772.
