Sourced record accounts and possible profile identifications. Names in different events are compared together where compatible; HOLD means that identity or original-record checks remain before creating or merging profiles.
Alexander Glasco
HOLD — compatible profile linked — The previously inspected C 114 deed explicitly identifies Alexander Glasco, Rochester express agent, as son of James formerly of Prescott, carpenter. Glasgow-951 remains a qualified candidate; Irish property occupancy does not prove physical presence in 1868. A newly inspected Rochester index card supplies an Alexander Glasgow death lead in the Union and Advertiser of 29 August 1892, page 5 column 6. It gives no age, occupation or parent, so it cannot yet identify the express agent or exclude Glasgow-951, who died in 1888.

Compatible WikiTree candidates
- Glasgow-951 — Current public profile compared; Alexander Glasgow-951 has compatible chronology, 1811–1888, for the Rochester express agent in 1867–1868. Its maintained biography currently distinguishes the deed bearer from the Lisnagaver farmer, but no inspected record establishes a simultaneous incompatible Irish household in 1867–1868 or another concrete exclusion. Occupation could change; missing migration or family connections do not exclude him. Retain Glasgow-951 as a candidate, not a confirmed identification. Profile birth 1811-00-00, death 1888-05-16; qualifiers retained in the review.

James Glasgow
HOLD — no compatible profile established — Previously inspected deeds B 395, B 601 and C 114 consolidate three expressly named children of one James, formerly Prescott carpenter: Eliza Jane, Mary and Alexander the express agent. Robert Glasgow-4150’s brother James remains a property-based hypothesis, without proved profile identity. Preserve one family draft and the direct father clauses; fractions do not establish a complete child count. The complete Glasgow/Glasco searches identified no supported carpenter profile. Glasgow-3743 remains an unplaced lead rather than an exclusion based solely on geography.
