== Biography ==
'''Daniel Glasgow''' was born about 1795 or 1796 in Ireland. He became a
watchmaker and farmer at Kilrea, County Londonderry. His original death return
records that he died there on 16 October 1871, aged seventy-five, a widower and
watchmaker. Kate Glasgow was present at his death.<ref name="Death1871">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1871/020759/7282767.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil death register], Daniel Glasgow, Kilrea, 16 October 1871.</ref>

Daniel was probably married to Margaret Irwin. A Rasharkin Presbyterian
baptismal record identifies Robert, born in 1827, as a child of Daniel Glasgow
and Margaret Irwin.<ref name="RasharkinBaptisms">[https://genealogy.torrens.org/BannValley/church/RasharkinP/Baptisms_1834.html Rasharkin Presbyterian register transcription and associated earlier entries], original register PRONI MIC1P/292.</ref>

The known or probable children are:

* [[Glasgow-3897|Robert Glasgow]], baptised in 1827;
* [[Glasgow-3898|James Glasgow]], an artist whose 1853 death notice called him Daniel's third son;
* [[Glasgow-3900|Daniel Glasgow junior]], a probable son identified by the local junior designation and chronology; and
* [[Glasgow-3899|David Glasgow]], directly identified as Daniel's son in Daniel's will.<ref name="JamesDeath">[https://www.cotyrone.com/colondonderry/burial/CoLondonderry-DeathsSentinel-G-1829-1869.html ''Londonderry Sentinel'' death notices], James Glasgow, died Brooklyn, 21 January 1853.</ref><ref name="DanielJuniorDeath">[https://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc3500/sc3520/016800/016836/images/crayon_apr1858_1.pdf ''The Crayon'', April 1858], obituary of Daniel Glasgow junior.</ref>

Daniel's will, proved in 1871, names his son David, his late brother Thomas
Glasgow and his nephew Daniel Neely Glasgow.<ref name="Will1871">[https://apps.proni.gov.uk/willscalendar_ie/willssearch.aspx Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, Will Calendars], registered will of Daniel Glasgow of Kilrea, proved 1871.</ref> Daniel Neely's 1888 marriage names his father as [[Glasgow-987|Thomas Glasgow]], farmer, and places him at Lisnagaver.<ref name="DanielNeelyMarriage">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1888/10763/5925382.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil marriage register], Daniel Neely Glasgow and Mary Jane Boyd, 28 June 1888.</ref> Together the records prove that Daniel and Thomas were brothers.

=== Parents ===

A descendant family account identifies [[Glasgow-3904|Alexander Glasgow]] and [[Unknown-761034|Rosanna, surname unknown]] as the parents of Thomas Glasgow of Lisnagaver.<ref name="GenesReunitedGlasgow">Peter, “Trying to find Glasgow,” ''Genes Reunited'', Find Ancestors message board, posted 25 January 2007, with replies dated 9 April 2020, https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/general_topics/thread/465937 (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref>

Daniel's original will explicitly calls Thomas his brother.<ref name="DanielWill1871">Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, [https://apps.proni.gov.uk/willscalendar_ie/willssearch.aspx Will Calendars], original registered will of Daniel Glasgow of Kilrea, proved 1871 (accessed 17 July 2026).</ref> If the descendant account correctly identifies Thomas's parents, Alexander and Rosanna are therefore plausible parents of Daniel as well.

No contemporary record inspected directly names Daniel's parents. Alexander and Rosanna should remain attached as '''uncertain parents'''. The evidence does not exclude a half-sibling relationship, an error in the descendant account or another reconstruction of the family.

Rosanna's surname has not been identified. No inspected source supports the surname Shaw.

=== Margaret Irwin ===

The Kilrea First Presbyterian baptism register names '''Daniel Glasgow and Margaret Irwin of Kilrea''' as the parents of their son Robert. Robert was born on 1 September 1827 and baptised on 30 September.<ref name="KilreaBaptism1827">Richard John Torrens, [https://genealogy.torrens.org/BannValley/church/KilreaP1/Baptisms/1827.html "Kilrea First Presbyterian Church Records: Baptisms in 1827"], entry 146, transcribed by Barbara Braswell: Robert, son of Daniel Glasgow and Margaret Irwin of Kilrea, born 1 September and baptised 30 September 1827 (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref>

The transcription does not expressly call Margaret Daniel's wife, but they were probably married. Daniel was described as a widower when he died in 1871.<ref name="DanielDeath1871">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=cide-7256058 IrishGenealogy.ie], civil death registration of Daniel Glasgow, Kilrea, 16 October 1871: aged 75, widower, watchmaker; Peter Glasgow of Kilrea present at death (accessed 17 July 2026).</ref>

Margaret may be attached as Daniel's '''uncertain spouse'''. Their marriage date and place are unknown.

=== Children ===

Known or probable children of Daniel included:

* '''[[Glasgow-3899|David Glasgow]]''', born at Coleraine in 1824 and later a prominent watchmaker in London. Daniel's will explicitly described David Glasgow of the City of London as '''“my son”''' and left him the residue of the estate.<ref name="DanielWill1871" /><ref name="DavidGlasgow">British Museum, [https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/BIOG70412 "David Glasgow"], biographical record stating that David was born at Coleraine in 1824, became a watchmaker and died on 7 December 1911 (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref> David's mother has not been identified.
* '''[[Glasgow-3897|Robert Glasgow]]''', born on 1 September 1827 and baptised at Kilrea on 30 September, son of Daniel Glasgow and Margaret Irwin.<ref name="KilreaBaptism1827" />
* '''[[Glasgow-3898|James Glasgow]]''', an artist who died at Brooklyn, New York, on 21 January 1853, in the twenty-fifth year of his age. His death notice described him as the '''third son''' of Daniel Glasgow of Kilrea.<ref name="JamesDeath1853">[https://www.cotyrone.com/colondonderry/burial/CoLondonderry-DeathsSentinel-G-1829-1869.html ''Londonderry Sentinel'' death notices], notice published 18 February 1853: James Glasgow, artist, died at Brooklyn, New York, on 21 January 1853 and was described as the third son of Mr Daniel Glasgow of Kilrea (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref> James's mother has not been identified.
* '''[[Glasgow-3900|Daniel Glasgow, Jr.]]''', a water-colour artist who died at Kilrea on 29 January 1858 from consumption, in the twenty-fourth year of his age. The use of “Jr.” and the shared residence make him a probable son of Daniel, but no inspected record explicitly names his father.<ref name="DanielJrDeath1858">[https://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc3500/sc3520/016800/016836/images/crayon_apr1858_1.pdf ''The Crayon''], April 1858, p. 118, report of the death of Daniel Glasgow, Jr., at Kilrea on 29 January 1858 (accessed 17 July 2026).</ref>

David, Robert and James account for three sons born before the younger Daniel. The previously proposed unidentified elder son is therefore not required.

Margaret Irwin is proved as Robert's mother. She may also have been the mother of Daniel's other children, but no inspected source establishes that relationship.

=== Occupation and property ===

Daniel was recorded as a watch and clock maker at Kilrea in 1846.<ref name="Slater1846">J. Slater, [https://www.failteromhat.com/slater/0192.pdf ''Slater's National Commercial Directory of Ireland''] (1846), Kilrea, p. 473, “Watch & Clock Makers”, listing “Glasco Daniel” (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref>

Griffith's Valuation records Daniel Glasgow at Church Street, Kilrea, and at Claragh in Kilrea civil parish.<ref name="GriffithKilrea">Fáilte Romhat, [https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/derry/kilrea.php "Griffith's Valuation of Ireland — Kilrea, County Derry"], entries for Daniel Glasgow at Church Street, Kilrea, and Claragh (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref>

The probate calendar later described Daniel as a farmer, while his death registration called him a watchmaker.<ref name="DanielDeath1871" /><ref name="Probate1871">National Archives of Ireland, ''Calendar of Wills and Administrations'', former online reel 005014889, image 00435 ([https://nationalarchives.ie/help-with-research/types-of-research/how-to-find-a-will/ current National Archives guide to wills]), entry for Daniel Glasgow, late of Kilrea, County Londonderry, farmer, who died at Kilrea on 16 October 1871; will proved by Samuel Neely, sole executor; effects under £300 (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref>

He may have combined watchmaking with farming or held agricultural land later in life.

Griffith's Valuation also lists men named Daniel Glasgow and Robert Glasgow at Gortereghy in Rasharkin parish. The Daniel entry probably refers to the Kilrea watchmaker and farmer, but the name-only valuation entry does not directly establish his identity.<ref name="GriffithRasharkin">Fáilte Romhat, [https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/antrim/rasharkin.htm "Griffith's Valuation of Ireland — Rasharkin, County Antrim"], entries for Daniel and Robert Glasgow at Gortereghy (accessed 19 July 2026).</ref>

PRONI valuation revision books place Robert Glasgow at Gortereghy house 18c in about 1864–1865. The adjoining house 18b was occupied by Daniel McCochrane, not Daniel Glasgow.<ref name="GortereghyRevision">Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, ''Valuation Revision Books'', VAL/12/B/4/17A and VAL/12/B/4/17B, Gortereghy, Rasharkin parish.</ref>

The Robert at Gortereghy was probably [[Glasgow-938|Robert Glasgow]], proved son of [[Glasgow-951|Alexander Glasgow]], rather than Daniel's son Robert. If Alexander was Daniel's brother, Robert would have been Daniel's nephew. Neither the proposed sibling relationship nor the interpretation of the Gortereghy entries has been proved.

The records do not establish that Daniel and Robert occupied adjoining houses or that they were father and son.

=== Brother Thomas and the Lisnagaver family ===

Daniel's original will refers to '''“my late brother Thomas Glasgow”''' and leaves a legacy to his nephew '''Daniel Neely Glasgow'''.<ref name="DanielWill1871" />

Daniel Neely Glasgow married Mary Jane Boyd at Boveedy First Presbyterian Church on 28 June 1888. He was described as a farmer of Lisnagaver and named his father as '''Thomas Glasgow, farmer'''.<ref name="DanielNeelyMarriage1888">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ IrishGenealogy.ie], civil marriage registration of Daniel Neely Glasgow and Mary Jane Boyd, 28 June 1888, Boveedy First Presbyterian Church; groom's father recorded as Thomas Glasgow, farmer (accessed 17 July 2026).</ref>

Together these records establish that:

* Daniel had a brother named Thomas;
* Daniel Neely Glasgow was Daniel's nephew;
* Daniel Neely's father was Thomas Glasgow; and
* the family was connected with Lisnagaver.

The two-record evidence chain identifies Daniel's brother as [[Glasgow-987|Thomas Glasgow of Lisnagaver]]. Thomas may be attached as Daniel's '''certain brother'''.

A Thomas Glasgow aged 55 was registered in the Ballymoney district during the second quarter of 1870. The age and district fit Thomas of Lisnagaver, who was described as Daniel's late brother in 1871, but the original civil register image is unavailable. The index entry alone does not conclusively identify him or name his parents.<ref name="ThomasDeath1870">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=cidenc-772683 IrishGenealogy.ie], civil death index entry for Thomas Glasgow, aged 55, Ballymoney registration district, second quarter of 1870 (accessed 19 July 2026).</ref>

=== Possible brother Alexander ===

[[Glasgow-951|Alexander Glasgow]] of the Lisnagaver and Rasharkin area may also have been Daniel's brother.

The proposed relationship is supported by locality, connections with Thomas's family and the probable Gortereghy link, but no inspected record explicitly calls Alexander and Daniel brothers. Alexander should therefore remain attached, if at all, as an '''uncertain brother'''.

Daniel, Thomas and Alexander form a probable Bann Valley–Killoquin or Kilrea–Rasharkin family cluster. Only Daniel's relationship to Thomas is directly proved.

=== Death and will ===

Daniel died at Kilrea on '''16 October 1871''', aged 75. His death registration described him as a widower and watchmaker.<ref name="DanielDeath1871" />

His recorded age gives an estimated birth in about 1795 or 1796. It does not provide an exact birth date.

A derivative index was previously read as naming Peter Glasgow at Daniel's death. The original civil image instead clearly names '''Kate Glasgow''', present at death, Kilrea. It states no relationship, so Kate should not be attached as a daughter or other relative without further evidence.<ref name="Death1871" />

Daniel's will was proved at Londonderry by Samuel Neely of Kilrea, assistant land agent and sole executor. His effects were valued at under £300.<ref name="Probate1871" />

The original will named:

* David Glasgow of the City of London, '''his son''';
* Thomas Glasgow, '''his late brother'''; and
* Daniel Neely Glasgow, '''his nephew'''.<ref name="DanielWill1871" />

The will does not name Adam Glasgow, Rose Glasgow, James Glasgow of Inishrush or any property at Inishrush. This omission does not prove that Daniel had no connection with that family, but the will provides no support for attaching him as a son of Adam Glasgow of Inishrush.

Daniel's burial place has not been identified.

The original death image identifies Kate Glasgow as the informant.<ref name="Death1871" />

The only Kate active in Ireland at this time was [[Glasgow-1571|Catherine Glasgow]]

=== Brother Thomas and the Prescott siblings ===

Daniel's will calls [[Glasgow-987|Thomas Glasgow]] his late brother and Daniel Neely Glasgow his nephew.<ref name="DanielWill1871" /> Daniel Neely's 1888 marriage calls his father Thomas Glasgow, farmer, of Lisnagaver, which identifies the brother as Thomas of Lisnagaver.<ref name="DanielNeelyMarriage1888">Ireland civil marriage return, Daniel Neely Glasgow and Mary Jane Boyd, 28 June 1888, Boveedy First Presbyterian Church, [https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1888/10763/5925382.pdf original image] (accessed 17 July 2026).</ref>

Original Grenville deeds under the will of Robert Glasgow of Prescott independently identify Daniel's connection. Robert's will, dated 9 October 1849, names Daniel, Samuel, John and Thomas as Robert's brothers; Mary and the children of brother James complete the six shares, but the will does not call James deceased.<ref name="RobertWill1849">Grenville County land records, DGS 8200419, image 35, registered will of Robert Glasgow of Prescott, dated 9 October 1849, [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSLG-LWY9-S original image].</ref> Memorial 13 records the 30 October 1856 deed, registered 13 November 1856, involving Robert's widow Jane and Samuel Glasgow, merchant, in Samuel's one undivided sixth share.<ref name="RobertWill1856">Grenville County land records, DGS 8200419, image 36, Memorial 13, dated 30 October 1856 and registered 13 November 1856, [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSLG-LWYM-6 original image].</ref> Memorial 465, dated 30 July 1861 and registered 7 October, names Daniel of Kilrea, watchmaker, and wife Margaret, and Thomas of Lisnagaver, farmer, and wife Mary Ann, transferring two undivided sixth interests to Samuel under Robert's will.<ref name="RobertWill1861">Grenville County land records, DGS 8200419, image 240, Memorial 465, registered 7 October 1861, printed p. 397, [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSLG-LWB8-D original image].</ref> These deeds establish Daniel, Thomas, Samuel and Robert as brothers by their stated places, trades and wives. They do not identify their parents.

== Research Notes ==
=== Current evidence assessment ===

[[Glasgow-3904|Alexander Glasgow]] and Rosanna Unknown are retained as uncertain
parents. A descendant account identifies them as Thomas's parents; because
Daniel's will proves Thomas was Daniel's brother, they are plausible parents of
Daniel as well.<ref name="DescendantAccount">[https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/general_topics/thread/465937 “Trying to find Glasgow,” ''Genes Reunited''], descendant account posted 25 January 2007.</ref> No contemporary record inspected names Daniel's parents. Rosanna's reported Shaw surname has not been proved.

Daniel's death age corrects his estimated birth from about 1807 to about
1795/96. That change also requires the proposed parents to be born earlier than
previous estimates. [[Glasgow-3902|Adam Glasgow]] and Rose should not be placed
above this family; Rose's age excludes her as the older Alexander's mother.

[[Glasgow-951|Alexander Glasgow of Lisnagaver]] is a probable brother of Daniel
and Thomas, not a proved one. The local cluster and Y-DNA support common paternal
kinship, but no found record states the relationship.

They do not identify Daniel's parents.

=== Recommended relationships ===

* '''[[Glasgow-3904|Alexander Glasgow]]''' — uncertain father, based on a descendant account concerning Thomas and the proved Daniel–Thomas brotherhood;
* '''[[Unknown-761034|Rosanna, surname unknown]]''' — uncertain mother on the same derivative evidence;
* '''Margaret Irwin''' — uncertain spouse;
* '''[[Glasgow-3899|David Glasgow]]''' — certain son of Daniel; mother unknown;
* '''[[Glasgow-3897|Robert Glasgow]]''' — certain son of Daniel and Margaret;
* '''[[Glasgow-3898|James Glasgow]]''' — certain son of Daniel; mother unknown;
* '''[[Glasgow-3900|Daniel Glasgow, Jr.]]''' — probable or uncertain son;
* '''[[Glasgow-987|Thomas Glasgow]]''' — certain brother;
* '''[[Glasgow-951|Alexander Glasgow]]''' — probable or uncertain brother;
* '''Daniel Neely Glasgow''' — certain nephew through Thomas;
* '''Kate Glasgow''' — death informant; relationship unknown.

=== Register coverage ===

The surviving First Kilrea Presbyterian baptism register begins on 17 April 1825, about thirty years after Daniel's estimated birth. It therefore cannot contain Daniel's own baptism.

A search of the available 1825–1859 baptism transcription found only the known 1827 baptism of Robert, son of Daniel and Margaret. The transcribed 1825–1845 marriage pages contain no marriage for Daniel Glasgow.

These are bounded transcription negatives. They do not exclude:

* a spelling or transcription error;
* a marriage or baptism in another congregation;
* an event before the surviving register begins; or
* an event that was not recorded.

=== Further research ===

Useful remaining records include:

* Daniel and Margaret Irwin's marriage;
* earlier Kilrea, Killoquin and neighbouring Presbyterian records;
* the original 1827 baptism entry for Robert;
* records identifying the mothers of David, James and Daniel Jr.;
* further contemporary records for Daniel Glasgow Jr.;
* the original Griffith's Valuation pages and complete revision-book sequence;
* confirmation of the map reference for Daniel's Gortereghy holding;
* a burial or gravestone record for Daniel;
* records identifying Kate Glasgow and her relationship to Daniel;
* earlier records for Thomas and Alexander Glasgow; and
* contemporary evidence identifying the parents of Daniel and Thomas.

The death of Daniel Glasgow was registered on 16 October 1871 in Coleraine, aged 75.<ref>[https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/search/death GRONI civil death index], Daniel Glasgow, 16 October 1871, aged 75, Coleraine registration district, D/1871/96/1008/2/362.</ref>

== Biography ==
'''Daniel Glasgow''' was born about 1795 or 1796 in Ireland. He became a
watchmaker and farmer at Kilrea, County Londonderry. His original death return
records that he died there on 16 October 1871, aged seventy-five, a widower and
watchmaker. Kate Glasgow was present at his death.<ref name="Death1871">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1871/020759/7282767.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil death register], Daniel Glasgow, Kilrea, 16 October 1871.</ref>

Daniel was probably married to Margaret Irwin. A Rasharkin Presbyterian
baptismal record identifies Robert, born in 1827, as a child of Daniel Glasgow
and Margaret Irwin.<ref name="RasharkinBaptisms">[https://genealogy.torrens.org/BannValley/church/RasharkinP/Baptisms_1834.html Rasharkin Presbyterian register transcription and associated earlier entries], original register PRONI MIC1P/292.</ref>

The known or probable children are:

* [[Glasgow-3897|Robert Glasgow]], baptised in 1827;
* [[Glasgow-3898|James Glasgow]], an artist whose 1853 death notice called him Daniel's third son;
* [[Glasgow-3900|Daniel Glasgow junior]], a probable son identified by the local junior designation and chronology; and
* [[Glasgow-3899|David Glasgow]], directly identified as Daniel's son in Daniel's will.<ref name="JamesDeath">[https://www.cotyrone.com/colondonderry/burial/CoLondonderry-DeathsSentinel-G-1829-1869.html ''Londonderry Sentinel'' death notices], James Glasgow, died Brooklyn, 21 January 1853.</ref><ref name="DanielJuniorDeath">[https://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc3500/sc3520/016800/016836/images/crayon_apr1858_1.pdf ''The Crayon'', April 1858], obituary of Daniel Glasgow junior.</ref>

Daniel's will, proved in 1871, names his son David, his late brother Thomas
Glasgow and his nephew Daniel Neely Glasgow.<ref name="Will1871">[https://apps.proni.gov.uk/willscalendar_ie/willssearch.aspx Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, Will Calendars], registered will of Daniel Glasgow of Kilrea, proved 1871.</ref> Daniel Neely's 1888 marriage names his father as [[Glasgow-987|Thomas Glasgow]], farmer, and places him at Lisnagaver.<ref name="DanielNeelyMarriage">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1888/10763/5925382.pdf General Register Office of Ireland, civil marriage register], Daniel Neely Glasgow and Mary Jane Boyd, 28 June 1888.</ref> Together the records prove that Daniel and Thomas were brothers.

=== Parents ===

A descendant family account identifies [[Glasgow-3904|Alexander Glasgow]] and [[Unknown-761034|Rosanna, surname unknown]] as the parents of Thomas Glasgow of Lisnagaver.<ref name="GenesReunitedGlasgow">Peter, “Trying to find Glasgow,” ''Genes Reunited'', Find Ancestors message board, posted 25 January 2007, with replies dated 9 April 2020, https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/general_topics/thread/465937 (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref>

Daniel's original will explicitly calls Thomas his brother.<ref name="DanielWill1871">Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, [https://apps.proni.gov.uk/willscalendar_ie/willssearch.aspx Will Calendars], original registered will of Daniel Glasgow of Kilrea, proved 1871 (accessed 17 July 2026).</ref> If the descendant account correctly identifies Thomas's parents, Alexander and Rosanna are therefore plausible parents of Daniel as well.

No contemporary record inspected directly names Daniel's parents. Alexander and Rosanna should remain attached as '''uncertain parents'''. The evidence does not exclude a half-sibling relationship, an error in the descendant account or another reconstruction of the family.

Rosanna's surname has not been identified. No inspected source supports the surname Shaw.

=== Margaret Irwin ===

The Kilrea First Presbyterian baptism register names '''Daniel Glasgow and Margaret Irwin of Kilrea''' as the parents of their son Robert. Robert was born on 1 September 1827 and baptised on 30 September.<ref name="KilreaBaptism1827">Richard John Torrens, [https://genealogy.torrens.org/BannValley/church/KilreaP1/Baptisms/1827.html "Kilrea First Presbyterian Church Records: Baptisms in 1827"], entry 146, transcribed by Barbara Braswell: Robert, son of Daniel Glasgow and Margaret Irwin of Kilrea, born 1 September and baptised 30 September 1827 (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref>

The transcription does not expressly call Margaret Daniel's wife, but they were probably married. Daniel was described as a widower when he died in 1871.<ref name="DanielDeath1871">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=cide-7256058 IrishGenealogy.ie], civil death registration of Daniel Glasgow, Kilrea, 16 October 1871: aged 75, widower, watchmaker; Peter Glasgow of Kilrea present at death (accessed 17 July 2026).</ref>

Margaret may be attached as Daniel's '''uncertain spouse'''. Their marriage date and place are unknown.

=== Children ===

Known or probable children of Daniel included:

* '''[[Glasgow-3899|David Glasgow]]''', born at Coleraine in 1824 and later a prominent watchmaker in London. Daniel's will explicitly described David Glasgow of the City of London as '''“my son”''' and left him the residue of the estate.<ref name="DanielWill1871" /><ref name="DavidGlasgow">British Museum, [https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/BIOG70412 "David Glasgow"], biographical record stating that David was born at Coleraine in 1824, became a watchmaker and died on 7 December 1911 (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref> David's mother has not been identified.
* '''[[Glasgow-3897|Robert Glasgow]]''', born on 1 September 1827 and baptised at Kilrea on 30 September, son of Daniel Glasgow and Margaret Irwin.<ref name="KilreaBaptism1827" />
* '''[[Glasgow-3898|James Glasgow]]''', an artist who died at Brooklyn, New York, on 21 January 1853, in the twenty-fifth year of his age. His death notice described him as the '''third son''' of Daniel Glasgow of Kilrea.<ref name="JamesDeath1853">[https://www.cotyrone.com/colondonderry/burial/CoLondonderry-DeathsSentinel-G-1829-1869.html ''Londonderry Sentinel'' death notices], notice published 18 February 1853: James Glasgow, artist, died at Brooklyn, New York, on 21 January 1853 and was described as the third son of Mr Daniel Glasgow of Kilrea (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref> James's mother has not been identified.
* '''[[Glasgow-3900|Daniel Glasgow, Jr.]]''', a water-colour artist who died at Kilrea on 29 January 1858 from consumption, in the twenty-fourth year of his age. The use of “Jr.” and the shared residence make him a probable son of Daniel, but no inspected record explicitly names his father.<ref name="DanielJrDeath1858">[https://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc3500/sc3520/016800/016836/images/crayon_apr1858_1.pdf ''The Crayon''], April 1858, p. 118, report of the death of Daniel Glasgow, Jr., at Kilrea on 29 January 1858 (accessed 17 July 2026).</ref>

David, Robert and James account for three sons born before the younger Daniel. The previously proposed unidentified elder son is therefore not required.

Margaret Irwin is proved as Robert's mother. She may also have been the mother of Daniel's other children, but no inspected source establishes that relationship.

=== Occupation and property ===

Daniel was recorded as a watch and clock maker at Kilrea in 1846.<ref name="Slater1846">J. Slater, [https://www.failteromhat.com/slater/0192.pdf ''Slater's National Commercial Directory of Ireland''] (1846), Kilrea, p. 473, “Watch & Clock Makers”, listing “Glasco Daniel” (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref>

Griffith's Valuation records Daniel Glasgow at Church Street, Kilrea, and at Claragh in Kilrea civil parish.<ref name="GriffithKilrea">Fáilte Romhat, [https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/derry/kilrea.php "Griffith's Valuation of Ireland — Kilrea, County Derry"], entries for Daniel Glasgow at Church Street, Kilrea, and Claragh (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref>

The probate calendar later described Daniel as a farmer, while his death registration called him a watchmaker.<ref name="DanielDeath1871" /><ref name="Probate1871">National Archives of Ireland, ''Calendar of Wills and Administrations'', former online reel 005014889, image 00435 ([https://nationalarchives.ie/help-with-research/types-of-research/how-to-find-a-will/ current National Archives guide to wills]), entry for Daniel Glasgow, late of Kilrea, County Londonderry, farmer, who died at Kilrea on 16 October 1871; will proved by Samuel Neely, sole executor; effects under £300 (accessed 16 July 2026).</ref>

He may have combined watchmaking with farming or held agricultural land later in life.

Griffith's Valuation also lists men named Daniel Glasgow and Robert Glasgow at Gortereghy in Rasharkin parish. The Daniel entry probably refers to the Kilrea watchmaker and farmer, but the name-only valuation entry does not directly establish his identity.<ref name="GriffithRasharkin">Fáilte Romhat, [https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/antrim/rasharkin.htm "Griffith's Valuation of Ireland — Rasharkin, County Antrim"], entries for Daniel and Robert Glasgow at Gortereghy (accessed 19 July 2026).</ref>

PRONI valuation revision books place Robert Glasgow at Gortereghy house 18c in about 1864–1865. The adjoining house 18b was occupied by Daniel McCochrane, not Daniel Glasgow.<ref name="GortereghyRevision">Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, ''Valuation Revision Books'', VAL/12/B/4/17A and VAL/12/B/4/17B, Gortereghy, Rasharkin parish.</ref>

The Robert at Gortereghy was probably [[Glasgow-938|Robert Glasgow]], proved son of [[Glasgow-951|Alexander Glasgow]], rather than Daniel's son Robert. If Alexander was Daniel's brother, Robert would have been Daniel's nephew. Neither the proposed sibling relationship nor the interpretation of the Gortereghy entries has been proved.

The records do not establish that Daniel and Robert occupied adjoining houses or that they were father and son.

=== Brother Thomas and the Lisnagaver family ===

Daniel's original will refers to '''“my late brother Thomas Glasgow”''' and leaves a legacy to his nephew '''Daniel Neely Glasgow'''.<ref name="DanielWill1871" />

Daniel Neely Glasgow married Mary Jane Boyd at Boveedy First Presbyterian Church on 28 June 1888. He was described as a farmer of Lisnagaver and named his father as '''Thomas Glasgow, farmer'''.<ref name="DanielNeelyMarriage1888">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ IrishGenealogy.ie], civil marriage registration of Daniel Neely Glasgow and Mary Jane Boyd, 28 June 1888, Boveedy First Presbyterian Church; groom's father recorded as Thomas Glasgow, farmer (accessed 17 July 2026).</ref>

Together these records establish that:

* Daniel had a brother named Thomas;
* Daniel Neely Glasgow was Daniel's nephew;
* Daniel Neely's father was Thomas Glasgow; and
* the family was connected with Lisnagaver.

The two-record evidence chain identifies Daniel's brother as [[Glasgow-987|Thomas Glasgow of Lisnagaver]]. Thomas may be attached as Daniel's '''certain brother'''.

A Thomas Glasgow aged 55 was registered in the Ballymoney district during the second quarter of 1870. The age and district fit Thomas of Lisnagaver, who was described as Daniel's late brother in 1871, but the original civil register image is unavailable. The index entry alone does not conclusively identify him or name his parents.<ref name="ThomasDeath1870">[https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=cidenc-772683 IrishGenealogy.ie], civil death index entry for Thomas Glasgow, aged 55, Ballymoney registration district, second quarter of 1870 (accessed 19 July 2026).</ref>

=== Possible brother Alexander ===

[[Glasgow-951|Alexander Glasgow]] of the Lisnagaver and Rasharkin area may also have been Daniel's brother.

The proposed relationship is supported by locality, connections with Thomas's family and the probable Gortereghy link, but no inspected record explicitly calls Alexander and Daniel brothers. Alexander should therefore remain attached, if at all, as an '''uncertain brother'''.

Daniel, Thomas and Alexander form a probable Bann Valley–Killoquin or Kilrea–Rasharkin family cluster. Only Daniel's relationship to Thomas is directly proved.

=== Death and will ===

Daniel died at Kilrea on '''16 October 1871''', aged 75. His death registration described him as a widower and watchmaker.<ref name="DanielDeath1871" />

His recorded age gives an estimated birth in about 1795 or 1796. It does not provide an exact birth date.

A derivative index was previously read as naming Peter Glasgow at Daniel's death. The original civil image instead clearly names '''Kate Glasgow''', present at death, Kilrea. It states no relationship, so Kate should not be attached as a daughter or other relative without further evidence.<ref name="Death1871" />

Daniel's will was proved at Londonderry by Samuel Neely of Kilrea, assistant land agent and sole executor. His effects were valued at under £300.<ref name="Probate1871" />

The original will named:

* David Glasgow of the City of London, '''his son''';
* Thomas Glasgow, '''his late brother'''; and
* Daniel Neely Glasgow, '''his nephew'''.<ref name="DanielWill1871" />

The will does not name Adam Glasgow, Rose Glasgow, James Glasgow of Inishrush or any property at Inishrush. This omission does not prove that Daniel had no connection with that family, but the will provides no support for attaching him as a son of Adam Glasgow of Inishrush.

Daniel's burial place has not been identified.

The original death image identifies Kate Glasgow as the informant.<ref name="Death1871" />

Daniel's will calls [[Glasgow-987|Thomas Glasgow]] his late brother and Daniel Neely Glasgow his nephew.<ref name="DanielWill1871" /> Daniel Neely's 1888 marriage calls his father Thomas Glasgow, farmer, of Lisnagaver, which identifies the brother as Thomas of Lisnagaver.<ref name="DanielNeelyMarriage1888">Ireland civil marriage return, Daniel Neely Glasgow and Mary Jane Boyd, 28 June 1888, Boveedy First Presbyterian Church, [https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1888/10763/5925382.pdf original image] (accessed 17 July 2026).</ref>

Original Grenville deeds under the will of Robert Glasgow of Prescott independently identify Daniel's connection. Robert's will, dated 9 October 1849, names Daniel, Samuel, John and Thomas as Robert's brothers; Mary and the children of brother James complete the six shares, but the will does not call James deceased.<ref name="RobertWill1849">Grenville County land records, DGS 8200419, image 35, registered will of Robert Glasgow of Prescott, dated 9 October 1849, [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSLG-LWY9-S original image].</ref> Memorial 13 records the 30 October 1856 deed, registered 13 November 1856, involving Robert's widow Jane and Samuel Glasgow, merchant, in Samuel's one undivided sixth share.<ref name="RobertWill1856">Grenville County land records, DGS 8200419, image 36, Memorial 13, dated 30 October 1856 and registered 13 November 1856, [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSLG-LWYM-6 original image].</ref> Memorial 465, dated 30 July 1861 and registered 7 October, names Daniel of Kilrea, watchmaker, and wife Margaret, and Thomas of Lisnagaver, farmer, and wife Mary Ann, transferring two undivided sixth interests to Samuel under Robert's will.<ref name="RobertWill1861">Grenville County land records, DGS 8200419, image 240, Memorial 465, registered 7 October 1861, printed p. 397, [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSLG-LWB8-D original image].</ref> These deeds establish Daniel, Thomas, Samuel and Robert as brothers by their stated places, trades and wives. They do not identify their parents.

== Research Notes ==
=== Current evidence assessment ===

[[Glasgow-3904|Alexander Glasgow]] and Rosanna Unknown are retained as uncertain
parents. A descendant account identifies them as Thomas's parents; because
Daniel's will proves Thomas was Daniel's brother, they are plausible parents of
Daniel as well.<ref name="DescendantAccount">[https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/general_topics/thread/465937 “Trying to find Glasgow,” ''Genes Reunited''], descendant account posted 25 January 2007.</ref> No contemporary record inspected names Daniel's parents. Rosanna's reported Shaw surname has not been proved.

Daniel's death age corrects his estimated birth from about 1807 to about
1795/96. That change also requires the proposed parents to be born earlier than
previous estimates. [[Glasgow-3902|Adam Glasgow]] and Rose should not be placed
above this family; Rose's age excludes her as the older Alexander's mother.

[[Glasgow-951|Alexander Glasgow of Lisnagaver]] is a probable brother of Daniel
and Thomas, not a proved one. The local cluster and Y-DNA support common paternal
kinship, but no found record states the relationship.

=== Recommended relationships ===

* '''[[Glasgow-3904|Alexander Glasgow]]''' — uncertain father, based on a descendant account concerning Thomas and the proved Daniel–Thomas brotherhood;
* '''[[Unknown-761034|Rosanna, surname unknown]]''' — uncertain mother on the same derivative evidence;
* '''Margaret Irwin''' — uncertain spouse;
* '''[[Glasgow-3899|David Glasgow]]''' — certain son of Daniel; mother unknown;
* '''[[Glasgow-3897|Robert Glasgow]]''' — certain son of Daniel and Margaret;
* '''[[Glasgow-3898|James Glasgow]]''' — certain son of Daniel; mother unknown;
* '''[[Glasgow-3900|Daniel Glasgow, Jr.]]''' — probable or uncertain son;
* '''[[Glasgow-987|Thomas Glasgow]]''' — certain brother;
* '''[[Glasgow-951|Alexander Glasgow]]''' — probable or uncertain brother;
* '''Daniel Neely Glasgow''' — certain nephew through Thomas;
* '''Kate Glasgow''' — death informant; relationship unknown.

=== Register coverage ===

The surviving First Kilrea Presbyterian baptism register begins on 17 April 1825, about thirty years after Daniel's estimated birth. It therefore cannot contain Daniel's own baptism.

A search of the available 1825–1859 baptism transcription found only the known 1827 baptism of Robert, son of Daniel and Margaret. The transcribed 1825–1845 marriage pages contain no marriage for Daniel Glasgow.

These are bounded transcription negatives. They do not exclude:

* a spelling or transcription error;
* a marriage or baptism in another congregation;
* an event before the surviving register begins; or
* an event that was not recorded.

=== Further research ===

Useful remaining records include:

* Daniel and Margaret Irwin's marriage;
* earlier Kilrea, Killoquin and neighbouring Presbyterian records;
* the original 1827 baptism entry for Robert;
* records identifying the mothers of David, James and Daniel Jr.;
* further contemporary records for Daniel Glasgow Jr.;
* the original Griffith's Valuation pages and complete revision-book sequence;
* confirmation of the map reference for Daniel's Gortereghy holding;
* a burial or gravestone record for Daniel;
* records identifying Kate Glasgow and her relationship to Daniel;
* earlier records for Thomas and Alexander Glasgow; and
* contemporary evidence identifying the parents of Daniel and Thomas.

The death of Daniel Glasgow was registered on 16 October 1871 in Coleraine, aged 75.<ref>[https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/search/death GRONI civil death index], Daniel Glasgow, 16 October 1871, aged 75, Coleraine registration district, D/1871/96/1008/2/362.</ref>

The ''Belfast Evening Telegraph'' and ''Belfast News-Letter'' of 21 October 1871 both report Daniel's death on 16 October at his residence, Church Street, Kilrea. The Telegraph gives age 75; the News-Letter gives age 73.<ref name="BelfastDeath1871">''Belfast Evening Telegraph'', 21 October 1871, p. 3, [https://www.newspapers.com/image/1267991526/ original scan]; ''Belfast News-Letter'', 21 October 1871, p. 1, [https://www.newspapers.com/image/388271252/ original scan] (both inspected 3 October 2026).</ref> These are two appearances of the same notice. The civil register gives 75, agreeing with the Telegraph; the News-Letter age implies birth about 1797/98 rather than about 1795/96. A fresh visual review on 4 October 2026 corrects the prior assessment that both papers gave 73. Both attributed ages are retained pending burial or other contemporary evidence. The notices add no parentage or kinship statement.
