Current profile14According to the source below, "Arthur Glasgow was a descendant of Earl Glasgow, of Scotland," where Arthur emigrated from to our colonies.

Current profile33David Faris prints a family letter dated 6 November 1806 from Joseph and Betty Glasgow to Arthur. Joseph addresses Arthur as his brother and refers to “brother robert.” Joseph's 1831 will independently calls a younger Robert the son of his deceased brother Arthur and Joseph's nephew. The combined evidence makes the three-way sibling relationship strong; it does not identify their parents.

Current profile35The repeated name <code>Arthur</code> in John Glasgow's descendants is real but heavily confounded by John's wife, '''Mary Arthur'''. Their son Arthur can naturally have been named from his mother's surname; later <code>Arthur Glasgow</code> compound names can honour that son or the maternal surname without referring to Arthur-649.

Current profile37A useful working hypothesis remains: Arthur-649 could have had an older or half-brother Adam who remained in Ireland and became the older Adam implied by John-822's naming pattern. Faris calls emigrant Robert a son of '''James of Moneymore''', while later accounts make Robert, Joseph and Arthur brothers. The resulting <code>Adam-James-John-Arthur</code> sequence could preserve John's father Adam, grandfather James, John himself and his paternal uncle Arthur. No inspected source names Adam in that emigrant family, however.
