Biography
James Glasgow offers leaf tobacco, steamed and unstemmed, recently landed; Belfast 9 March 1822.[1]
Research Notes
The full cluster argument is in group 61258711. Same name, Belfast dating and wholesale-grocery trade as the 1819 Rosemary Street grocer, so he is probably a member of that cluster. No WikiTree James Glasgow has a Belfast trading record, and Glasgow-3986 (Larne merchant) remains only a possible comparison. A new profile is needed for the Belfast wholesale grocer and tobacco dealer.
