Nancy (Unknown) Glasgow
c. 1785 – c. 1850
South Carolina
About Nancy
Nancy's first name, maiden name and vital dates have not been proved by a contemporary record. A female aged 50–59 was present in Robert Glasgow-2769's 1840 household and could be his wife, but the census states no name or relationship. Her absence from Robert's 1850 household does not by itself prove that she died in 1850.

Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
The 19 January 1814 Delaware marriage of Robert Glasgow and Nancy Black is a different family. A Robert Glasgow also appears in Delaware militia records, and FamilySearch's sourced reconstruction gives the Delaware couple a son born there about 1825. Meanwhile the target Robert served in Tennessee and remained in the Giles County census in 1820. The surname Black must not be assigned to this profile.
