Research notes and earlier assessments

Conclusion: Current conclusion

Elizat was Andrew Glasgow's wife on 6 February 1597/8. His testament directly identifies Robert Glasgow as a son by Elizat. The missing structured mother link was added and verified live 26 September 2026.

The former circa-1540 birth estimate was not based on a record and produced an implausible age gap with Robert's own estimated date. The live profile now uses about 1560, uncertain, as a working generation estimate; the biography explicitly says no record states Elizat's age. Robert was under age at the testament but has no recorded birth year. Andrew's conditional provision for a possible pregnancy does not prove she bore another child.

Andrew's daughters Marion, Jonet and Isobel are attached to Elizat, but the testament does not expressly call them her children. Keep those maternity links uncertain. No record yet equates Elizat with Bessie Stevinsoune of Dunfermline.
