What the records show
Source findings — the Glasgow High Kirk baptism naming Margaret, 28 September 2026
The captured biography cites Glasgow High Kirk baptisms, 1609–1777, vol. 1/754 (ScotlandsPeople), for a lawful son of George Glasgow and Margaret Steuart, with witnesses William Howie and David Scherrar. The citation does not give the child's name or the date, and the entry has not been re-read for this file. It identifies Margaret as a mother and wife of George Glasgow; it does not name her own parents. A second High Kirk entry, reference 1/2353, 21 October 1617, for Barbara, lawful daughter of George Glasgow and Margaret Stewart, is recorded in Barbara Glasgow (Glasgow-1102)'s findings.
Recorded in research/Stewart-65226/Stewart-65226.md (28 September 2026); carried into this file on 7 October 2026.
