c. 1774 – c. 23 October 1822
County Antrim, Ireland
About Rosanna
Rosanna is named with an older Alexander in a 2007 descendant account as the parent of Thomas Glasgow of Lisnagaver. No contemporary record establishes her maiden surname, birth, marriage, death, or all three proposed children. She is a useful uncertain working mother, but her live birth year 1790 is impossible if Daniel, born about 1795/96, remains her son. Use born before about 1780, uncertain, or leave the birth blank.

Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
The structured birth has since been changed to about 1770, uncertain. A 13 September source audit found no original record for Rosanna's parentage, maiden surname or death. Search-indexed text shows that the 2020 Genes Reunited reply explicitly copied the 2007 post, so it is not an independent witness. The 2018 FamilySearch Pedigree Resource File cites only an Ancestry member tree and gives 28 October 1822, conflicting with the post's approximate 23 October. The live WikiTree date remains a profile claim, not new evidence. PRONI's early family registers, the private tradition source and Killoquin rentals remain uninspected; access gaps are not negative searches.

| Source | Finding | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| 2007 Genes Reunited descendant account | Names Alexander and Rosanna as parents of Thomas of Lisnagaver and reports Rosanna's death about 23 October 1822. | Late descendant testimony; useful but not contemporary proof. |
| Daniel Glasgow's civil death and original will | Daniel was born about 1795/96 and directly called Thomas his brother. | Makes a 1790-born mother impossible; proves Daniel-Thomas siblinghood, not Rosanna's maternity. |
| Kilrea clockmaker evidence | Daniel Glasgow and James Shaw were both clockmakers in the district. | Does not prove Rosanna's surname was Shaw or that James was her brother. |

Birth-estimate audit - 21 August 2026
The live structured birth was corrected to about 1770, uncertain. The estimate is derived from the retained uncertain family chronology, especially Daniel's birth about 1795-96, rather than a birth record. The earlier before value remains only a strict chronological boundary, not the most useful estimated birth. No biography, relationship, source or other structured field was changed in this audit.

Current conclusion
Rosanna is named with an older Alexander in a 2007 descendant account as the parent of Thomas Glasgow of Lisnagaver. No contemporary record establishes her maiden surname, birth, marriage, death, or all three proposed children. She is a useful uncertain working mother, but her live birth year **1790 is impossible** if Daniel, born about 1795/96, remains her son. Use **born before about 1780, uncertain**, or leave the birth blank. The structured birth has since been changed to **about 1770, uncertain**. A 13 September source audit found no original record for Rosanna's parentage, maiden surname or death. Search-indexed text shows that the 2020 Genes Reunited reply explicitly copied the 2007 post, so it is not an independent witness. The 2018 FamilySearch Pedigree Resource File cites only an Ancestry member tree and gives 28 October 1822, conflicting with the post's approximate 23 October. The live WikiTree date remains a profile claim, not new evidence. PRONI's early family registers, the private tradition source and Killoquin rentals remain uninspected; access gaps are not negative searches.

Birth-estimate audit - 21 August 2026
The live structured birth was corrected to **about 1770, uncertain**. The estimate is derived from the retained uncertain family chronology, especially Daniel's birth about 1795-96, rather than a birth record. The earlier `before` value remains only a strict chronological boundary, not the most useful estimated birth. No biography, relationship, source or other structured field was changed in this audit.
