Current profile24The occupation, place and chronology also agree with the 1786 Blackcave lease to James Glasgow, tanner of Larne. The sequence is a strong identity match, although the deeds do not name his wife or relatives. He should not be confused with the older Larne ropemaker [[Glasgow-1509|James Glasgow]].
