Current profile6'''James Glasgow''' has been proposed as a son of [[Glasgow-1024|James Glasgow of Moneymore]] and [[Harkness-1149|Mary Harkness]], and as a brother of [[Glasgow-12|Robert]], [[Glasgow-649|Arthur]] and [[Glasgow-1543|Joseph Glasgow]]. No located contemporary record establishes his birth, parents, siblings or residence. The profile therefore remains unsourced.

Current profile8The estimate that he was born about 1740 at Moneymore appears to be a research inference.

Current profile71The matching sibling count and contemporary association make John a stronger candidate for the fourth emigrant brother than this profile. They do not by themselves prove John's relationship. No located record identifies an additional brother James who remained in Ireland, so this profile's proposed sibling relationships remain unproved.
