Thomas Glasgow

HOLD — compatible profile linked — The Carstairs 1679 Thomas–Gyles Spence entry is separate from the Strathblane unnamed event on the same day. Thomas Glasgow-1449 is newly excluded by his represented later family: father Glasgow-1382 is explicitly born about 1766 and dies 1851; mother Christine Davidson has documented motherhood of Nathaniel in 1774, incompatible with being the mother of a 1679 adult. Glasgow-1226 remains a weaker possibility because fatherhood through 1735 would imply an older father but is not impossible. Graduate Glasgow-3413’s 1670 degree does not establish his assumed Thomas Glasgow-3187 father, and the 1660 burgess entry gives no father. Newly searched Gellies/Gilles/Giles Spence/Spens/Spense yielded no historical woman; the Tudor male Spencer lead remains excluded.

Duplicate check and relationship limits
  • Public existing-profile search and biography review completed 2026-09-30. Missing fields or an unproved extra bridge do not exclude a compatible person.
  • The current biography explicitly says Thomas born 8 August 1666 (with 12 August index discrepancy). A 1679 bridegroom would beabout 13; the before qualifier is retained in the audit but does not override the explicit birth claim.
  • The current biography identifies a 1675 christening child of John Glasgow/Agnes Eastone and 1701 marriage. The 1679 bridegroom identification would make that represented childabout 4.
  • The current biography explicitly says bornabout 1766 and died 1851; parents Thomas Glasgow-1023 and Janet Mill are placed 1725/1730. Incompatible with a 1679 bridegroom.
  • The cited event names him as father of John Glasgow in 1800. Identifying him as a 1679 bridegroom would require fatherhood at least 135 years later than a minimum 14-year birth estimate. This concrete later event conflicts.
  • Father John Glasgow-424 is born 13 February 1816 and mother Christian Forsyth 1815; his 1853 baptism and 1928 death place him in a nineteenth-century family, not 1679.
  • The biography documents an 1822 christening and 1841/1861 residences; father John Glasgow-952 and mother Marion Anderson are a nineteenth-century household. Incompatible with 1679 bridegroom.
  • Further source and existing-profile review completed 2026-09-30; retain compatible candidates unless a concrete conflict excludes them.
  • Current represented father Glasgow-1382 explicitly born about 1766, died 1851; mother Christine Davidson is documented as Nathaniel’s mother in 1774. This later family is incompatible with a son already an adult bridegroom in 1679. It is not exclusion on the son’s before-1787 field alone.
