The notice names him with a middle initial, R., on a township political committee, which implies an adult resident of Kingsessing in 1799. WikiTree searches for Nathaniel Glasgow, Glasco and Glascoe born 1700–1785 found only Glasgow-1452 (b. 1774 Livingston, Linlithgowshire) and Glasgow-4014 (b. 1768 Drumgreenagh, Armagh). Neither has an American record or the initial R., so both are unlikely. Web searches for 'Nathaniel R. Glascoe' and variants found nothing. A profile draft is warranted (distinctive name, dated residence and office); it should be built with the neighbouring Tinicum Thomas Glascoe lead (group 586542475) in mind.
